The e-commerce logistics rural business volume index continues to rise. In August, the rural e-commerce logistics business volume index was 131.7 points, up 0.2 points from July.

According to data from major platforms, the overall e-commerce sales and promotion popularity in August have significantly increased compared to July, and the effect of consumer promotion policies has become increasingly evident.

It is worth noting that the satisfaction rate and fulfillment rate index of e-commerce logistics have stopped falling and rebounded, while the personnel index has continued to rise. With the gradual reduction of extreme weather in China in August, the quality of enterprise services has significantly improved.

The e-commerce logistics loading rate and inventory turnover index have fallen month on month, while the logistics timeliness index remains unchanged month on month.

At the same time, in order to welcome the arrival of the peak season for the start of the school year, the stocking volume of enterprises in August has significantly increased, and the inventory turnover index has fallen by 0.2 points month on month. Relying on cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, the e-commerce logistics industry is upgrading its intelligent order matching, intelligent sorting, and dynamic optimization of transportation routes, helping the cost index fall by 0.5 points month on month, achieving a continuous three-month decline and reaching a new low of 117.2 points since 2023. ”The analyst mentioned above stated. In the later stage, the above analysts predict that with the arrival of the peak consumption season of "Golden September and Silver October" and the start of the school year, the demand for e-commerce logistics in September will continue to maintain a steady upward trend.
