Consumer Choice Portal Package Consolidation

项目摘要

This project proposes the development of a portal enabling consumer choice in the delivery of packages to the home supported by a packaging consolidation centre pilot, located within a densely populated urban environment. The introduction of a consolidation centre aims to empower the consumer with respect to the delivery method in the last five miles of the package journey, also enables supplies to be consolidated upstream and downstream of the centre. Statistics show that 30% of small packages dispatched to customer homes fail to be delivered first time. Failed deliveries significantly reduce the productivity of the logistics provider and increase congestion and pollution. Consumers are aware that deliveries to their home may fail repeatedly but there exist no mechanisms to engage with the supply chain. In the UK, many courier firms are engaged in multiple drops to the same urban area each day, increasing pollution and congestion with no value added to the consumer. This pilot involves -the development of a portal that provides consumer choice features including packaging type, traceability, time and mode of delivery (e.g. sustainable vehicle solutions)-a local urban consolidation centre, open 24x7, providing opportunities for easy access for consumers, consolidation opportunities for primary suppliers and last mile couriers where packages are required to be delivered to the home, and facilities to minimize packaging at source and optimize recyclingThe novelty lies in the front end consumer portal enabling consumer choice, the integrated consolidation centre and in the delivery network involving key stakeholders in the supply chain.

该项目建议开发一个门户网站，使消费者能够选择在包装整合中心试点的支持下，在人口密集的城市环境中将包裹送到家中。整合中心的引入旨在赋予消费者在包裹行程的最后五英里的交付方法方面的权力，也使供应能够在中心的上游和下游进行整合。据统计，有30%的小包裹被送到客户家中后，第一次就无法送达。失败的交付大大降低了物流供应商的生产力，并增加了拥堵和污染。消费者意识到送货上门可能会一再失败，但没有与供应链互动的机制。在英国，许多快递公司每天都要多次投递到同一个城市地区，这增加了污染和拥堵，对消费者没有任何附加值。这项试验计划包括-发展一个门户网站，让消费者选择包装类型、可追溯性、交货时间和方式等功能（例如可持续的车辆解决方案）----一个24 x7全天候开放的当地城市整合中心，为消费者提供方便的机会，为主要供应商和需要将包裹送到家中的最后一英里快递员提供整合机会，和设施，以尽量减少包装在源头和优化回收新奇在于前端消费者门户网站，使消费者的选择，综合整合中心和交付网络，涉及关键利益相关者在供应链中。
