(1) compression trade links, reduce circulation costs
From the function of circulation, steel mat endowment and terminal personalized product ratio, shear distribution demand still exists, as the main body of traders mat endowment and distribution is difficult to be replaced completely. Level of the best breakthrough point, to reduce industry chain is to reduce some local traders and terminal traders. By the pattern of logistics park steel mills or large traders directly cover of end demand. As electric business platform for three relatively important: (1) improve the terminal platform participation; (2) improve the supplier resources such as large steel mills and traders the breadth and quality. (3) improve the logistics park or terminal distribution around the control of resources.
(2) to provide credit services, open financing channels
Began in 2012 with steel prices fell sharply, steel trade industry concentrated outbreak of credit risk, steel inventories of repetition and false of the warehouse receipt pledge to become the source of credit risk, the bank credit sharp contractions of the steel trade suppliers and traders capital accumulates fracture.
Steel electric business solution to this is: through offline warehouse monitoring and information technology into the hope of steel traders to provide credit services, restore bank financing channels, reduce the financing cost. Already forming model of baosteel chattel pledge platform, Shanghai the integrity of steel storage alliance, etc. Baosteel chattel pledge platform online the next month after the completed the first of the warehouse receipt pledge financing.
(3) improve the logistics warehouse efficiency, decrease the cost of logistics and warehousing
Reduce logistics freight rate: according to statistics, at present our country's railway transport freight rate, motor transport freight rate is over 40%, caused great waste of resources. Electric business platform based on the discrete demand the sum of the processing can reduce logistics freight rate.
Lower inventory levels, compression transportation, storage, and financial expenses: the steel trade involves the transport, storage, and other links, the stockpiled in the middle of the regular inventory, according to the current statistical caliber, steel mills and traders inventory amounted to about 30 million tons, capital takes up about 100 billion. By purchasing logistics efficiency of the supply and demand information and timely feedback, and help reduce the minimum safety stock of the industry, transportation, warehousing and financial cost.
