Supply Chain Forwarding: The New Foreign Trade Model of Cross-Border E-commerce
跨境电商不是电商，而是供应链前置的新外贸。"供应链前置"是大健云仓提出的核心概念，强调其设计初衷是"服务供应链前置"。正确理解这个概念，对出口企业规划下一代外贸业务至关重要。
Cross-border e-commerce is not just e-commerce, but a new form of foreign trade with supply chain forwarding. "Supply Chain Forwarding" is a core concept proposed by GigaCloud, emphasizing its original design purpose to "serve supply chain forwarding". Proper understanding of this concept is crucial for export enterprises planning next-generation foreign trade business.
一、什么是供应链前置？
1. What is Supply Chain Forwarding?
（一）供应商自己"定义产品"。在传统OEM/ODM模式下，虽然供应商可能提供产品设计，但最终定义权在客户手中。供应链前置模式下，供应商主动定义产品规格，就像苹果公司设定iPhone的SKU一样。
(1) Suppliers define products themselves. In traditional OEM/ODM models, although suppliers may provide product designs, the final definition power lies with customers. In supply chain forwarding model, suppliers actively define product specifications, just like Apple setting iPhone SKUs.
（二）现货海外前置。供应商不再等待客户订单，而是自主判断市场，提前将现货部署到海外市场。这与DDP交易有本质区别：
- DDP仍是客户定义产品，供应链前置是供应商定义
- DDP是先有合同再生产，供应链前置是先生产后销售
- DDP面向批发商，供应链前置可直接对接零售商
(2) Forward stock overseas. Suppliers no longer wait for customer orders, but make independent market judgments and deploy stock to overseas markets in advance. This is fundamentally different from DDP transactions:
- DDP is still customer-defined products, supply chain forwarding is supplier-defined
- DDP is contract first then production, supply chain forwarding is production first then sales
- DDP targets wholesalers, supply chain forwarding can directly connect retailers
二、供应链前置与跨境电商的关系
2. Relationship Between Supply Chain Forwarding and Cross-Border E-commerce
跨境电商只是供应链前置的一个应用场景。虽然跨境电商能提升利润率，中国卖家在亚马逊等平台表现优异，但这只是供应链前置的起点。
Cross-border e-commerce is just one application scenario of supply chain forwarding. Although cross-border e-commerce can improve profit margins and Chinese sellers perform well on platforms like Amazon, this is only the starting point of supply chain forwarding.
关键区别：美国卖家销售美国定义的产品，中国卖家销售中国定义的产品。供应链前置使中国企业能自主定义产品，与原有客户竞争。
Key difference: American sellers sell American-defined products, Chinese sellers sell Chinese-defined products. Supply chain forwarding enables Chinese enterprises to independently define products and compete with original customers.
跨境电商的低库存门槛（单款几十件即可开展）使其成为供应链前置的理想起点。随着海外库存规模扩大，供应商可逐步拓展传统外贸渠道，实现：
- 供应链前置+小客户批发
- 供应链前置+大客户现货交付
- 供应链前置+海外销售代表
The low inventory threshold of cross-border e-commerce (dozens of single items can start business) makes it an ideal starting point for supply chain forwarding. As overseas inventory scales up, suppliers can gradually expand traditional foreign trade channels to achieve:
- Supply chain forwarding + small customer wholesale
- Supply chain forwarding + large customer spot delivery
- Supply chain forwarding + overseas sales representatives
