  No matter how fast technology develops, there are still some traditional ways of communicating that are still effective today. Despite the invention of text messaging and E-mail, the most direct way to convey information is to put up signs and markers.   With physical markers, there is no need to stop every passer-by in order to let them know a warning or important message. Tags also make warnings stand out and easy to see even from a distance.   Highly visible and eye-catching markup means fast transmission of information. For this reason, one of the most commonly used symbols in various industries is the flag.   What is a flag?   We've all seen flags at some point in our lives. Most of the time, they symbolize the state. In some cases, they represent religions and other organizations. They may even serve as a form of communication, such as waving a white flag to signal defeat or a red flag to signal warning. No matter what they represent, they attract the at...

 The development of cross-border e-commerce has seen a surge in popularity, with a variety of e-commerce platforms springing up and logistics methods emerging. There are now six cross-border e-commerce logistics solutions:express, postal parcel, overseas warehouse, dedicated courier, virtual overseas warehouse, and China-Europe railway multimodal mode. Supply chain professionals and executives claim they are always considering collaboration. But, despite their best efforts, they continue to use dozens of platforms to manage what should be a simple concept. The reality is that the ambitious promises of increased efficiency, visibility, and collaborative infrastructure made by software vendors have been lost due to the hassle of logging into countless systems and trying to manage data across different supply chain platforms. For this reason, shippers, freight brokers, logistics service providers (LSPs), and third-party logistics providers (3PLs), want to find a collaborative approach...

 Third party logistics (3PL) providers provide additional support for specific phases of the shipping business, acting as a link between the outsourced distribution and fulfilment phases of the supply chain. While 3PL services have always been a key player in supply chain operations, their involvement is increasing as companies' sourcing, manufacturing and customer bases become progressively more multinational. 3PLs can provide warehousing, transportation, picking and packaging solutions - essentially covering any logistics service that a brand manufacturer cannot handle. Brand manufacturers tend to use 3PLs when their start-up facilities and systems outgrow their scale. for example, a start-up company selling cosmetics out of its garage might start getting a lot of orders on its e-commerce site. Suddenly, its manual processes are unable to meet the needs of its customers. Instead of buying its own fleet of warehouses and trucks, the startup might hire a 3PL to handle some or all o...
