Computerization, An Important Way for China's International Freight Forwarders to Improve Competitiveness

Abstract

China should make great efforts to develop the freight forwarder industry, not only for the requirement of the division of international trade, but also for the needs of the further development of China’s foreign trade, especially for the development of the service trade. However, there is a large development gap between China's international freight forwarders and the world's leading international freight forwarders. The former’s service is in a poor level and not efficient. In order to narrow these gaps and to adapt to third- party logistics transformation trend, China's international freight forwarders should pay attention to the computerization construction.
