Recently, the distribution center in Anren County of Chenzhou City was officially put into operation, marking an important step toward the informatization management of the integrated development of passenger, mail and cargo (P/M/C).
Numerous parcels were circulated rapidly on the conveyor belt of the smart identification and sorting system, and then delivered by buses and special containers in terms of category and destination. On that day, the distribution center sent more than 3,000 packages and received over 40,000 ones.
Anren County is one of the first batch of the five “Demonstration Counties for Integrated Development of P/M/C”. Thanks to the convenient urban and rural public transportation, the “P/M/C Integration” can serve as a resource sharing model with bus routes and transport vehicles as carriers.
In Anren County, the maintenance rate of rural highways reaches 100 percent and all the administrative villages have access to passenger cars. As a “National E-commerce Logistics Demonstration County” coordinating urban and rural public transport, Anren County gives full play to its advantages and breaks the traditional logistics model.
Based on the current network of rural passenger transport, express delivery and logistics, the county implements the model of P/M/C integration and strives to address problems like weak logistics foundation, scattered distribution and complex processes in rural areas, so as to enable rural residents to receive parcels at their doorways.
In recent years, Anren County has integrated express enterprises and established a P/M/C supply chain. With the coordinated development of postal services, express delivery and e-commerce services, the county unblocked express delivery channels and realized the information integration and data sharing among farmers, express companies and online sellers, widening channels for the sale of agricultural products like quality rice, Chinese herbs, tea and fruit.
At present, with the integrated development of P/M/C, Anren County has basically realized the “dual circulation” for the entry of industrial products and consumer goods to villages and agricultural products to urban areas.
