Resumen
The rapid development of China's road freight transport has driven many issues over the last few decades, and trends are to apply new technology to improve the efficiency of cargo movement. In the view of current problems in the supervision and operational mode in China, this paper analysis the function and characteristics of road freight mobile apps that appeared in markets and describes how they may change the road freight industry in the future. Taking the Luge logistic, Cainiao logistic and Loji logistic as representative, a loose network organization is emerging and the intensive mode provides a direction for the transformation and innovation of China's freight transport industry by integrating small and medium-sized business operators to improve the social logistics. The research indicate flat structural design based on smart mobile terminals can balance the supply and demand, in particular to enhance return-picking rate to improve individual benefit, and reduce overall social resources and environmental cost. Record of footprint of goods based on apps and big data analysis provides good database and technical support for the third-party credit evaluation of freight transport operations, and the government may apply the credit evaluation platform composed of trade credit and social credit to regulate the road freight transport industry directly in the future. The survey indicates that most stakeholders support the promotion of freight mobile apps, and the traditional operation may be replaced by the application of freight mobile apps in the future.
