Systèmes de portage d'achats en centre-ville : étude terrain

Abstract

Personal purchasing flows, more than half of which are carried out by car, can represent up to. 50% of the movement of goods in town. Individual logistics are therefore far from being a residual problem, but they remain little studied today. However, to respond to the desire to revitalize local commerce, coupled with increasing requirements in terms of quality of life, new goods transport services for individuals have been trying to develop since 2009. They are not without evoking the experiences already carried out in carrying home purchases (PAD), Mini in 2003 by the PREDIT as a 0 service ensuring local deliveries at a reasonable time and for a modest price ”, which, for the most part, did not have endures. This article synthesizes the data resulting from the very first phase of a project, names PAC, focuses on the Portage of Purchases in Center-vile and finances within the framework of the PREDIT. This step, led by the Paca Logistics Cluster, is centered on the study of the existing situation in terms of purchasing support: documentary research and field interviews. The discussion of the attributes of the different experiences identified made it possible to distinguish the carrying of purchases from other related services and to establish a first definition of the concept. A transversal analysis of purchasing support systems then showed that if two generations of services can be distinguished, on the basis of their objectives and their organization, no standard is imposed and fully convinced. However, this study made it possible to identify the variables of an economically viable model, to be tested in the rest of the project.
