During the market research, the company's cold chain business team learned that customers expect to further reduce logistics costs, especially during busy business periods, and have higher expectations for the operating efficiency of the transportation fleet. To this end, the team has launched a comprehensive solution of "drop-and-hook transportation + instant dispatch" after in-depth research. Specifically, after the vehicle responsible for inspecting container transportation arrives at the inspection station, the head of the vehicle can be quickly separated from the trailer and put into other transportation tasks; the yard and the fleet have established a real-time linkage mechanism, and once the inspection work is completed, the head of the vehicle is immediately dispatched to pick up the transportation, which greatly shortens the idle time of the equipment.
Actual operation data shows that with this flexible dispatching method, the daily operation volume has increased significantly, and the waiting time of the vehicle during the single box inspection operation has been reduced by about 3 hours, and the comprehensive transportation cost of customers has been effectively reduced. Mr. Liu, the person in charge of the cooperative enterprise, commented: "The drop-and-hook model not only ensures that the goods are delivered on time, but also reduces the number of empty trips in the fleet, truly achieving a win-win situation for all parties." The person in charge of the international logistics cold chain base said that the implementation of this new model is an important practice of the core values of "people-oriented, quality first, and customer-oriented". In the future, the base will continue to tap the potential of yard resources, optimize business processes, and build an efficient service system covering the entire cold chain process, providing better logistics guarantee services for import and export logistics companies in the region.
