Tang Jianian told the China Commercial Daily reporter that the construction of the logistics center has been reflected in the Kunshan logistics center project by increasing the store sales, enriching the commodity supply and reducing the cost. "Especially in small and medium-sized cities, stores need adequate sales, but because of traffic constraints, sales will be out of stock. The construction of logistics centers can greatly improve the shortage of stores and make goods more complete."

In addition, due to centralized management and distribution of goods, reducing storage and management costs of stores, the operation cost of Carrefour stores was also optimized.

"Normally, a tally worker is familiar with the product for two weeks before it can work independently. Through the voice command of the Vocollect voice system, the picking clerk can learn in three hours and pick up the goods independently."
