In China, logistics industry grows rapidly and logistics enterprises compete fiercely with each other. Especially among small and medium-sized third party logistics enterprises, some problems that lead to low logistics efficiency and high cost have emerged, such as asymmetry of the logistics information and inefficiency of information communication.
