Abstract
Drop shipping represents a delivery business model based on e-commerce logistics, which is very relevant in the global pandemic crisis. In this model, buyers order products and services directly from the manufacturer over the Internet through the intermediary of a drop shipper who ensures the easiest and fastest delivery. Drop shipper is a type of e-commerce entrepreneur that offers goods using online logistics infrastructure to ensure direct physical delivery from the manufacturer to the retailer or customer. This includes drop shipping as a business model to Industry 4.0 (i.e. the digital economy). This paper elaborates how a particular e-commerce model affects the development and improvement of global supply chains. Aim of this paper is to research how entrepreneur can lower its costs along drop shipping supply chain by managing inventory ratios or cost of stock. This enables drop shipping to greatly facilitate market access for cash-strapped entrepreneurs. We also conducted a simulation of optimized drop shipping process to show that there is a constant adaptability for entrepreneurs using drop shipping, especially among small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The timeliness of drop shipping is that it has facilitated as a global delivery solution in relation to the coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19). Moreover, drop shipping is based on a Activity-Based Costing (ABC model) whose quantitative efficiency has been proven by scientific analysis and research results. Finally, the legal aspects of drop shipping are given importance in the situation of COVID-19 which had a crucial impact on international trade in 2020, especially in predicting short-term trade trends. Due to this within this paper we also examined the effects of the ˝coronavirus˝ on global e-commerce. Global drop shipping data ensures qualitative predictions considering pandemic environment, social distancing issues and internet trade curves which are more than useful in today’s changing business conditions.
Drop shipping是一种基于电子商务物流的配送模式,在全球大流行病危机中具有重要意义。在这种模式下,买家通过互联网直接从制造商那里订购产品和服务,通过托运人的中介,确保最简单和最快的交付。Drop托运人是一种电子商务企业家,使用在线物流基础设施提供商品,以确保从制造商到零售商或客户的直接实物交付。这包括将航运作为工业4.0(即数字经济)的商业模式。本文阐述了一种特定的电子商务模式如何影响全球供应链的发展和完善。本文的目的是研究企业家如何通过管理库存比率或库存成本来降低其在下降运输供应链上的成本。这使得空运能够极大地便利资金短缺的企业家进入市场。我们还对优化后的配送过程进行了模拟,以表明使用配送的企业家具有恒定的适应性,特别是在中小型企业(SMEs)中。空投运输的及时性在于,它作为一种与冠状病毒病大流行(COVID-19)相关的全球运输解决方案提供了便利。此外,drop shipping是基于作业成本核算(ABC)模型,其量化效率已被科学的分析和研究结果所证明。最后,在2019冠状病毒病对2020年国际贸易产生重大影响的情况下,特别是在预测短期贸易趋势方面,空投运输的法律方面受到重视。因此,在本文中,我们还研究了“冠状病毒”对全球电子商务的影响。考虑到流行病环境、社会距离问题和互联网贸易曲线,全球下降航运数据确保了定性预测,这些预测在当今不断变化的商业条件下非常有用。
