▲ Chu Xuejian, Director of Modern Logistics Research Center of Shanghai University

During the topic sharing session, Professor Chu Xuejian, an expert in logistics park planning and financial logistics research with nearly 40 years of experience and director of the Modern Logistics Research Center of Shanghai University, shared his views on the topic of "Exploration of Digital Transformation of Cross-border Supply Chain Logistics" from a professional perspective . Chu Xuejian said that the challenge facing logistics is the weak integration of logistics elements, and the urgent need for coordinated development of supply chain logistics; the future development of logistics will show four trends: network operation, digital empowerment, logistics finance, and intensive sharing; for cross-border e-commerce logistics, the pain points and challenges come from the confusion of supervision, the coexistence of sunshine and gray, and the regulatory blind spots need to be solved urgently. The bonded mode of cross-border supply chain logistics will be the best choice for future sunshine cross-border.

In cross-border trade, cross-border logistics is a service industry with a long chain and many links. In the future, it will definitely develop towards a technological industrial chain, supply chain and logistics chain, and then combine finance and trade logistics to derive cross-border supply chain financial logistics services; the digital economy and platform economy have changed the traditional trade model. With the promotion and application of modern communication technology and the rapid development of the digital economy, the platform economy with data production as the factor, digital technology as the means, digital services as the core, and digital payment as the feature has produced a new model of e-commerce (digital trade) and digital services; Chu Xuejian said that digital technology and digitalization are reconstructing the traditional value chain, industrial chain and supply chain; digital logistics will be the general trend in the future, and digital cross-border supply chain service platforms will be popular in this trend.

▲Wan Cheng, Business Director of Ecological Cooperation of JUSDA

Wan Cheng, Ecological Cooperation Business Director of JUSDA International Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. , discussed at the forum how to empower the new quality productivity of the global supply chain through artificial intelligence technology, as well as the latest research results and specific application practice cases of JUSDA AI digital supply chain solutions in cross-border e-commerce and other industrial chain supply chain scenarios. Wan Cheng believes that with the rise of AI intelligence, human work and lifestyle have ushered in great changes; at the same time, in the field of logistics supply chain management, such as supply procurement, production, transportation, warehousing, logistics, marketing and other key links, AI can also provide more efficient solutions. In the future, supply chain management will no longer be a single AI application, but will integrate multiple technologies such as RPA (robotic process automation), blockchain, big data, etc. to form a new ecosystem. In the future, there will be only two types of supply chains, one is the supply chain that has been empowered by AI; the other is the supply chain that is being deployed with AI.

The supply chain under the demand of global layout faces the dilemma of large-span management, and technological change is imminent. In order to help enterprises break the new demand of cross-border management difficulties, JUSDA provides digital supply chain solutions integrating AI capabilities, and provides end-to-end full-process visualization through full-process multi-role online collaboration, helping overseas enterprises reduce potential abnormal risks, optimize and improve the operational efficiency of the supply chain, and reduce supply chain costs. In the future, JUSDA will continue to help overseas enterprises complete the extension, dataization, and visualization of the supply chain, making the supply chain the core competitiveness of cross-border enterprises and helping Chinese manufacturing enterprises to go global.
