Analysis of Crowdsourcing Logistics in B2C e-commerce: Costs and Environmental perspective

Bardasco San José, David · 2016

Abstract

Currently, the logistics in e-commerce is one of the big problems, especially in the deliveries between the company and the consumer, as result it generates additional costs that make the online service is not all efficient that it could be. Therefore, the present work focuses on the study of a new practice in the B2C e-commerce logistics, Logistic Crowdsourcing, as well as the creation of a model of costs and emissions about this innovative practice. To carry out the study about this practice has been made a literature review and the study of some projects of companies that nowadays are offering this service. Later, also it is created a model to calculate the costs and the emissions of the Crowdsourcing Logistics. Regarding the results, in the analysed articles there are nothing about Crowdsourcing Logistics, that is, there is a gap, even if there are real projects around this practice currently being carried out. This way, it has been possible to define this concept, how this practice is made and the most important players. About the creation of the model and the related simulations, it can say that the results have allow to extract some interesting conclusions, which allow to understand still better this innovative practice. So, this paper aims to offer an alternative to current problems in the B2C e-commerce logistics with the Crowdsourcing Logistics and study the costs and the emissions of some hypothetic scenarios with the model created for this practice. And this way understand better the concept and really if it is a good and optimal solution, alternative or not.

The pape s ha iden i y and alk abou he T adi ional Shopping Model a e

The T adi ional Shopping Model is an op ion o dis ibu ing he goods and i is
he adi ional sys em wi h supe ma ke s and e ail shops (Aized and S ai,

he cus ome does mos o he labou in ensi e wo k, because she/he has o

The Online Shopping Model is ano he op ion o dis ibu ing he goods ha is a

In ela ion wi h he en i onmen , he Online Shopping Model has yields

· Supply chain:
In line wi h Kull e al. (2007), he cu en g ow h and popula i y o e-comme ce

he e a e h ee ypes o commonly employed supply chains ha a e iden i ied,
which a e:

Such as say Xu e al. (2008), he mos adi ional deli e y op ion used by

The p oblem is ha he mos common o people is no o be a home

wo king households inc eased by 22% be ween 1992 and 2006. I
means, he incidence o ailed deli e ies has inc eased and nowadays

Acco ding o Al-Nawayseh e al. (2013), he a ended deli e y is he
a ended home ecep ion whe e cus ome s usually choose he
deli e y place and ime window o ecei e hei deli e y wi hin i . So,
his model implies ha he cus ome has o be a he poin o
ecep ion wi hin he ime window ha she/he has selec ed o accep
he deli e y and i implies ha she/he is wai ing o he /his deli e y.
On he o he hand, one o he e aile s’ objec i es is maximizing

equi es dynamically assigning deli e y ime slo s as new o de s

Analysing he p oblems abou his deli e y model, basically he e a e

One al e na i e p ac ice o a ended deli e y is he Se ice Pos s,
which ollowing is old:

This al e na i e consis s in ha he pa cels a e deli e ed o a

- Una ended Deli e y (Kämä äinen and Punaki i, 2004; Xu e al.,
2008; Hbne e al., 2016):
The 20% o analysed pape s alk abou he una ended deli e y.
In line wi h Xu e al. (2008), he o iginal concep o una ended
deli e y is simply lea ing an i em on someone’s doo s ep, o in he

C owdsou cing Logis ics in B2C e-Comme ce

is place in on o he cus ome ’s home o be collec ed when she/he
a i es.
Kämä äinen and Punaki i (2004) wi h hei simula ions sugges ha
his deli e y model educe home deli e y cos s conside ably,
speci ically by up o 60%. Bu he p oblem is ha his hasn’ been
widely used, because i equi es in es men s and commi men om

cos o deli e y can be educed by up o 40% compa ed o a end
home deli e y wi h a ecep ion box o una ended home deli e y.
The main p oblem o his is ha i b ings many secu i y conce ns
pa icula ly when i ems a e pe ishable o ha e high alue. Bu i is a
eally good op ion o sol e he p oblems o home deli e ies ail,
because in 50-60% o households no on is a home du ing he no mal
wo kday an a e age o 12% o home deli e ies ail (Hbne e al.,

This deli e y model has di e en ad an ages. Talking abou he

esul ing om une en demand du ing wo king hou s. I means ha

model will cha ge addi ional ees i he cus ome is no able o ecei e
hei deli e y in he ag eed ime slo .
The mos common al e na i e solu ions o una ended ecep ion a e:
 Deli e y Boxes:
This p ac ice is ocused on he use o insula ed box con aining he

locking de ice bol ed on he building wall. Then he emp y boxes
a e collec ed on he day ollowing deli e y o la e . So, basically
he deli e y boxes a e insula ed boxes wi h a docking mechanism
ha a e e u ned o he e aile . And he e a e 2 ways o pick up

 Pick up o he deli e y boxes is done a he sec deli e y.
 Pick up o he boxes is done sepa a ely on he day a e

Rega ding o Punaki i e al. (2001), his solu ion enables a as e

 Recep ion boxes (Locke Poin ):
This solu ion consis s in a collec ion o locke s. Speci ically, he
pa cels a e deli e ed o he locke s poin whe e cus ome s can
pay, collec and i necessa y, e u n hei pa cel. I should be no ed
ha he locke poin s employ baggage locke s echnology and use
PIN codes o con ol he deli e y by he ca ie and he collec ion
o he pa cel by he cus ome (Wel e eden, 2008). And usually
hese boxes a e ins alled in he consume ’s home ya d o ga age.
In line wi h Kämä äinen and Punaki i (2004) and om poin o
iew in B2C en i onmen , he ecep ion boxes ha e some
ad an ages, which a e: ime sa ings, lexibili y, independence o
he supplie ime able, no need o ca y pu chases, dec easing o
impulse buying and sys ema ic pu chasing. Bu he e a e also
some disad an ages, which basically a e: high in es men and
limi ed access o deli e o he boxes in B2C. Speci ically, high
in es men is conside ed he majo obs acle, because he box can

cos be ween 1000 and 2000 eu os depending on he ype o box
(Kämä äinen and Punaki i, 2004).
I is impo an say ha he ecep ion box is widely seen as a
po en ial home appliance o he u u e and he e a e al eady many
manu ac u e s in he ma ke . Howe e , u iliza ion a e o he
ecep ion box is usually poo (Kämä äinen and Punaki i, 2004).
 Sha ed ecep ion boxes:
This solu ion is ocused in usage o sha ed ecep ion boxes also
known as CDP. Abou he cha ac e is ics o he sha ed ecep ion

he sepa a e locke s ha e elec onic looks wi h a changing

said, his concep is also known as he au oma ed collec ion and
Deli e y Poin (CDP). And a he CDP he o de ed goods can be

In line wi h Mikko Punaki i and Ka i Tanskanen (2002), using his

The main p oblem is he high in es men in ol ed in una ended

be assigned he nea es a he Membe 's o he C owd loca ion.
2) I is conside ed ha he Membe o he C owd mus comple e all he
deli e ies o he Local Shop ha has been assigned.
3) The e isn' a p io i y o de in he deli e ies in he Local Shop. Speci ically,
he p io i y o de will go in unc ion o he op imal ou e. To calcula e he
op imal ou e has been used Cla ke's and W igh 's algo i hm which is
adi ional o VRP (Vehicle ou ing p oblem) and is used o plan he

4) I is conside ed ha he demand o he se ice by he Local Shops is
p oduced all a he same ime (in he same hou ). Fo his eason, e e y
Membe o he C owd has o go o one speci ic Local Shop, because he

5) The demand ax o he se ice o he Shops mus be less o equal han
he numbe o he Membe s o he C owd, because i no i won' be
possible o p o ide all he Shops ha need he se ices.
6) The Local Shops and he inal cus ome s a e in he u ban ci y.
