CJ Logistics Opens Simple Quotation System for Small and Medium Sellers

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] CJ Logistics announced on the 12th that it has launched the ‘E-commerce Logistics Simple Quotation System,’ which allows e-commerce sellers to receive real-time fulfillment service cost estimates via mobile and web.

Sellers can conveniently use the quotation system without signing up by accessing the CJ Logistics website and verifying their business registration. Fulfillment is a service that collectively handles complex logistics processes such as inventory management, packaging, inspection, shipping, and delivery by jointly storing products from multiple clients.

CJ Logistics minimized the data input steps to significantly reduce the quotation time. After just three steps?product type, inbound and storage method, and shipping information?logistics costs by process such as inbound fee, storage fee, outbound fee, and packaging material fee are immediately displayed. While it usually takes about 3 to 5 days for sellers to request and receive quotations from logistics companies via phone or email, using the CJ Logistics simple quotation system takes as little as 5 minutes.

This system is expected to provide great convenience especially to small-scale sellers. Generally, sellers with small sales volumes find it very difficult to receive quotations because they are deprioritized by logistics companies. In contrast, CJ Logistics offers real-time services through mobile and web, enabling small-scale sellers to conveniently receive quotations regardless of sales volume, time, or location.

If sellers proceed to contract after receiving a quotation, they can benefit from CJ Logistics’ high-quality fulfillment services. CJ Logistics is enhancing efficiency in all logistics processes such as inbound, storage, and packaging by expanding data- and robot-based advanced technologies. Additionally, through its industry-leading courier network and fulfillment centers linked as a ‘converged fulfillment’ system, CJ Logistics provides stable delivery services that allow customers to receive products ordered by 24:00 the next day.

Moreover, CJ Logistics has meticulously structured the data input fields required for quotations to improve accuracy. Sellers can input detailed information such as the number of product types, packaging methods, and proportions by outbound type, in addition to basic information like product size and quantity, enabling quotations comparable to those conducted face-to-face. Through easy-to-understand and precisely calculated quotations, sellers can make more accurate and prompt decisions necessary for logistics operations.

CJ Logistics plans to support small and medium-sized merchants who face difficulties in logistics to receive quotations more conveniently through the simple quotation system. Furthermore, it aims to advance the system into a digital-based sales platform where sellers can proceed from quotation to final contract in a one-stop process and receive distribution and logistics trends.

Ahn Jae-ho, Head of CJ Logistics’ E-commerce Division, said, “By implementing an advanced fulfillment operation using big data and robots along with a precise quotation system, we have established a digital-based operation and sales framework. We will promote mutual growth by providing opportunities and convenience to small business owners who face limitations in using fulfillment services, while simultaneously enhancing our status as an innovative technology company.”
