1.1. Overview of North-South freight transport

North-South freight transport is one of the important activities in the Vietnamese economy. With the length of the country from North to South reaching nearly 1,650 km, connecting goods between regions plays an essential role in maintaining and developing business activities. In particular, in the context of an increasingly developing economy, the demand for transporting goods between the two ends of the country is increasing.

 

1.2. The role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the economy

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for the majority of the total number of enterprises in Vietnam, contributing significantly to GDP and creating millions of jobs for workers. However, SMEs often face many challenges in managing business activities, including transporting goods.

 

1.3. The Importance of Optimizing Transportation

Transportation is one of the factors that determine the success of a business, especially for SMEs. Optimizing transportation not only helps reduce costs but also improves business efficiency and increases competitiveness in the market. Therefore, finding effective and suitable transportation solutions is extremely necessary for these businesses.

 

2. Characteristics of small and medium enterprises in transporting goods from North to South

2.1. Scale and type of goods often transported

Small and medium enterprises often have limited production and business scale, so the amount of goods that need to be transported is often not large compared to large enterprises. Goods can include consumer products, production materials, electronic components, or handicraft products.

 

2.2. Limited budget and cost-effectiveness requirements

Due to limited budgets, SMEs always face the problem of balancing costs. Of which, transportation costs account for a significant portion, directly affecting the profits of enterprises. Therefore, finding cost-effective transportation solutions while still ensuring quality is essential.

Small and medium-sized enterprises are more flexible in adapting to market changes. This requires them to be able to quickly adjust transportation activities to effectively meet customer needs.

 

3. Challenges when transporting goods from North to South for small and medium-sized enterprises

3.1. High transportation costs

Transporting goods from North to South requires large costs, including fuel costs, tolls, and other related costs. For SMEs, this cost becomes even more burdensome when they do not have the incentives from transporting large quantities like large enterprises.

 

3.2. Access to quality transport services

SMEs often have difficulty accessing quality transport services due to their lack of bargaining power with large service providers. This results in having to accept services of lower quality or higher prices.

 

3.3. Transport management and tracking

Managing and tracking transport routes is a major challenge for SMEs, especially when they lack the resources and technology to control the entire transport process. This can lead to problems with delivery delays, loss of goods, and negative impacts on the reputation of the business.

North-South freight transport faces many risks such as traffic accidents, bad weather conditions, or loss due to damaged goods. For SMEs, these risks can cause great losses, affecting the business operations and financial capacity of the enterprise.
