SUPPLY CHAIN with ecommerce companies .” The rise in e-commerce , with companies such as Alibaba , as well as smaller e-commerce companies in Indonesia not yet known overseas , are slowly altering the business map in the country . However , “ retailers are not the only one to move to ecommerce ,” reflects Holley . “ The second and third revenue of ID Logistics worldwide is the consumer goods industry – big players like Danone and Unilever are some , and even those ones are thinking to move in this direction .” To this effect , the company has had to adapt its ways of operating , such as the use of its work management system , which has been customised and upgraded in order to deliver quality and tailor-made solutions . Nonetheless , Holley says , “ in e-commerce , there is some cut off . For instance , every order before
2pm can be delivered the next day , whereas in some areas there is same day delivery . It is a different way to address logistics which encompasses new challenges .” These challenges are also heightened through the increased Uberisation of the economy , where an individual can sell any product and ensure it is delivered to the other side of Indonesia by the next day , as everybody in the country is using Uber or local company GO-JEK .
With all these complexities , ID Logistics continually transforms its services and the way it addresses business with clients and end users . We think properly and we move forward . It ’ s a lean organisation which makes communication flow quickly , ensuring the company remains competitive within the Indonesian market .”
