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

Bardasco San José, David

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.

Abou he egions add essed, he numbe o con ibu ions in which he i s au ho is om Finland is 3 (20%), he same ha om Uni ed Kingdom ha is 3 oo.

Speci ically, in ela ion wi h he main opic o his p ojec which is he logis ics. Such as say B own and Gui ida (2014), he impo ance o deli e y and he suppo ing logis ical p ocess is well ecognised in he ope a ions and supply chain li e a u e. Nowadays e e y one o hese models has a di e en g ow h and cos s and en i onmen impac in he socie y. I ’s ob ious ha e e y o his ype o model has his ad an ages and disad an ages oo. Following i will analyse wha says he li e a u e abou hese models. · T adi ional Shopping Model: The pape s ha iden i y and alk abou he T adi ional Shopping Model a e h ee. And i should be no ed ha wo o hese a e connec ed wi h he en i onmen opic (n.9 and n.13). 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, 2015). When he cus ome s buy wi h his model, hey hemsel es pick up he pu chased i em om he e aile and sel -deli e s he i em o he home using hei own ehicle (B own and Gui ida, 2014). So, as ell Edwa ds e al. (2010), he cus ome does mos o he labou in ensi e wo k, because she/he has o o de picking and anspo he goods a home. And i is ob ious ha in his case, he pu chase implies o go o he physical loca ion. Abou he adi ional supply chain, he goods a e deli e ed o s o e and has been p e iously ci ed, he cus ome picks he i ems be o e aking hem a home (Edwa ds e al., 2010). C owdsou cing Logis ics in B2C e-Comme ce 23 The e o e, hen o see some cha ac e is ics o he T adi ional Shop Model, i could say ha he main ad an ages and disad an ages o his a e: TRADITIONAL SHOPPING MODEL ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES · The cus ome s can see wha hey a e buying and i is necessa y hey can p o e i . · Is be e o he company, because his o m, i hasn’ deli e y cos s. · The cus ome s can ecei e help om he shop assis an . · Is uncom o able o he cus ome s, because hey need o go o he physical shop. · Go o he shop has a cos ( ime and anspo ). · Is bad o he en i onmen , because e e y cus ome goes o he shop and his gene a es lo s o emissions. Table 8: Ad an ages and Disad an ages o T adi ional Shopping Model · Online Shopping Model: All he analysed pape s alk abou he Online Shopping Model and e e y o hese con ibu e di e en in e es ing in o ma ion o he opic o his p ojec . The Online Shopping Model is ano he op ion o dis ibu ing he goods ha is a sys em wi h di ec o consume deli e ies (Aized and S ai, 2015). Speci ically, as say B own and Gui ida (2014), in e-comme ce, he i em is deli e ed o he cus ome by he e ail selle o by an agen con ac ed by he selle o p o ide a home deli e y se ice. So, he cus ome s can buy wi hou isi ing he physical loca ion. O in line wi h Edwa ds e al. (2010), he as majo i y o online pu chases esul in he physical mo emen o a small package (o single i em) o an indi idual add ess ( ypically a consume ’s home) by pa cel ca ie . In gene al, hese deli e ies a e dis ibu ed om local pa cel ca ie depo s and consis o mixed loads in he back o ans. So, in his model he e aile s mus deli e pe sonalised o de s o highly dispe sed loca ions wi hin ela i ely na ow ime window. 24 Da id Ba dasco San José In ela ion wi h he en i onmen , he Online Shopping Model has yields en i onmen al bene i s, because basically i educes pe sonal a el demand (Edwa ds e al., 2010). Xu e al. (2008) say ha he abili y o ul il and deli e o de s on ime could de e mine an e- aile ’s success. Speci ically, one o he no able bene i s o online shopping is he con enience and ime sa ing when compa ed o adi ional shopping. I includes o he ac o s such as o ease online paymen , home deli e y and e u n p ocedu es ha all combine o make In e ne shopping mo e con enien han adi ional. The alue o he home deli e y ma ke has inc eased apidly du ing he las ew yea s. And he mos common home deli e y model is when he cus ome can selec a ime window when he i ems a e deli e ed (Kämä äinen and Punaki i, 2004). · Supply chain: In line wi h Kull e al. (2007), he cu en g ow h and popula i y o e-comme ce has a ec ed many consume s’ e e yday li es by p o iding a wide ange o choices, mo e a ailable in o ma ion and ease o pu chasing. And i should be no ed ha as companies ex end supply chains ia di ec deli e y o consume s, supply chain e iciency depends upon he usabili y o he online o de ing sys em. Abou he supply chain in he Online Shopping Model, Vanelslande e al. (2013) iden i ies which ypes o supply chains a e he mos commonly be ound in he online e ailing o g oce y i ems in Wes Eu ope. And based on his in o ma ion, he e a e h ee ypes o commonly employed supply chains ha a e iden i ied, which a e: - Pu e playe : The companies, which use his model, only dedica e o sell hei p oduc s by e-comme ce. I means hey don’ ha e any physical shop whe e he cus ome s can go o buy hei p oduc s, because all he ac ions a e by In e ne . Inside his model, he main deli e y models a e: C owdsou cing Logis ics in B2C e-Comme ce 25 o Van deli e y: This ype o supply chain is used by pu e playe e aile s ha ca y ou he las mile deli e y wi h a dedica ed lee o ehicles. The picking ope a ions a e pe o med in one o mo e dedica ed dis ibu ion cen es, as well as in p o iding he dedica ed ehicles o en places a inancial bu den on he company employing his ype o supply chain se up. And in his model, he cos o las mile deli e y is gene ally e y high, because o no ha ing su icien cus ome densi y, as well as ha ing o deal wi h ime-slo ed deli e ies ha a e e y common wi h his ype o supply chain o p o ide a high cus ome se ice. o Pa cel deli e y: This model employs a pa cel ca ie ’s (e.g. UPS, DHL, e c.) om exis ing dis ibu ion ne wo k o deli e he goods o he shoppe . This enables he e aile o ake ad an age o a dis ibu ion ne wo k ha con e se a la ge a ea and al eady handles la ge olumes, hus leading o lowe las mile deli e y cos s.

Inside his model, he main deli e y model is: o Van deli e y: 32 Da id Ba dasco San José 1.3.3.3. P oblems in Las Mile Logis ic In line wi h B own and Gui ida (2014), he las mile p oblem comp ises one o he mos cos ly and highes pollu ing segmen s o he supply chain in which companies deli e goods o end cos ume s.

Speci ically, nex o he picking and packing ope a ions, home deli e y is he majo cos d i e in online g oce y shopping (Mikko Punaki i and Ka i Tanskanen, 2002).

Figu e 2: Diag am o Al e na i es C owdsou cing Logis ics in B2C e-Comme ce 37 Acco ding o Al-Nawayseh e al.

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 ehicle u iliza ion and minimizes anspo a ion cos s o ge a ce ain le el o cus ome s’ se ice and he sa is ac ion o hese. And i equi es dynamically assigning deli e y ime slo s as new o de s a i e and he dynamically c ea ing and adjus ing deli e y ou es (Hbne e al., 2016).

Analysing he p oblems abou his deli e y model, basically he e a e wo big p oblems, which a e: o The high demand on ce ain windows migh complica e he se ice, because is possible ha he p o ide canno make all he deli e ies a he same ime, so i gene a es capaci y p oblems. o The p oblem o ailed deli e y: I has been old in he p e ious pa .

And i is eally good oo o he deli e y companies, because his way hey can combine he deli e y o pa cels wi h he egula supply o he shops. - 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 ga den shed.

Bu he p oblem is ha his hasn’ been widely used, because i equi es in es men s and commi men om he cus ome . Fo he o he hand, Hbne e al.

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., 2016). This deli e y model has di e en ad an ages. Talking abou he logis ics, his elimina es igh ime slo s and capaci y p oblems esul ing om une en demand du ing wo king hou s.

So, i elimina es he edeli e y cos when he cus ome s a e no a home a hei selec ed deli e y ime slo . I is impo an o say o ha no mally e aile s ha ollow his 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 goods is deli e ed o he cus ome and a ached secu ely in a 40 Da id Ba dasco San José locking de ice bol ed on he building wall.

And he e a e 2 ways o pick up emp y box:  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 deli e y. Rega ding o Punaki i e al.

The d awback is he addi ional cos o collec ing he emp y boxes.  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 C owdsou cing Logis ics in B2C e-Comme ce 41 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.

As p e iously i 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 s o ed un il he cus ome is able o collec he deli e y. In line wi h Mikko Punaki i and Ka i Tanskanen (2002), using his concep , he u ilisa ion a e o he acili ies would be highe han in he case o cus ome -speci ic concep s.
