INTRODUCTION
Vietnam has joined many international trade agreements, creating more
opportunities for Vietnamese enterprises to expand their markets and seek more
customers and partners. However, there are also many challenges. Especially, current
situation had changed dramatically by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19
pandemic has posed significant challenges for supply chains globally. Multiple
national lockdowns continue to slow or even temporarily stop the flow of raw
materials and finished goods, disrupting manufacturing as a result. The Vietnamese
economy has been hit by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic but has shown remarkable
resilience. GDP grew by 2.9 percent in 2020. And the lubrication for Vietnam
economic activities is logistics services industry. The logistics services industry plays
a major role in supporting, connecting, and enhancing the socio-economic
development of the country as well as contributing to enhancing global economic
competitiveness. In Vietnam, logistics services have many opportunities for
development but also face many challenges in terms of labor resources, institutions,
and policies. Moreover, the development of import and export activities in Vietnam
also sets the requirements for logistics services to improve quality to meet practical
needs. Enterprises must innovate themselves to develop strategies and strategies
suitable to the international environment, to improve their competitiveness. Therefore,
it is essential and necessary to learn, identify, and analyze the logistics company in
Vietnam to know about its achievements and shortcomings in its services.
As a business operating in logistics, U&I Logistics is considered one of the
major enterprises in the Vietnamese market working in this field. However, the market
is expanding, and the competition from enterprises is getting more and more fierce.
Besides the advantages for development, the company also faces many difficulties and
challenges in general development conditions. Therefore, I conducted the topic
"Research on the current situation of freight logistics operations in U&I Logistics -
Northern JSC" to learn more about the company's business operations, the problems
that the company still faces from there. Export several solutions to improve the
company's operational efficiency.

Research objectives and missions:
- Analyze achievements and limitations in the freight logistics operation of U&I
Logistics – Northern JSC.
- Give some recommendations.
Research object and scope:
- Research object: Logistics management process of the company from 2020-
2021.
- Research scope: The subject is done at U&I Logistics – JSC.
Throughout the internship, we have learned many things about the operation of a
logistics company. We would also like to express my gratitude to my instructor, Mr.
Bui Duy Linh, for his instructions. During the research and completion process, due to
many limitations in knowledge, the essay cannot avoid its shortcomings, so our team
is looking forward to receiving teachers' comments on the research topic in order to
complete it. We sincerely thank you.

CHAPTER 2: BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF U&I
11
- Maximize your cargo area and storage space with the versatile multi-tier
selective racking system.
- Thoroughly handle sanitary problems from goods with modern humidity
control systems and insect control systems.
- Make it easy for customers to get C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against
Terrorism) certification from CBP (Customs Border Protection) USA.
In addition, the infrastructure is properly built and equipped with modern
equipment, the scientific and close organization, together with the attached services
always performing full duties, warehouse activities have created high credibility with
customers. This is the reason why the warehouse system of U&I Logistics always
works at full capacity, and the volume of cargo flowing through warehouses is
regularly growing year by year, reaching nearly 60,000 TEUS/year.
Inland transport (Unitrans)
Domestic freight transport is an integral part of the logistics service supply
chain. To some extent, there is no commodity that does not go through the domestic
transportation process, so Unitrans, a member of U&I Logistics, is the first choice for
customers.
Owning a large number of standard road transport vehicles, plus the ability to
mobilize means of transport from partners, U&I is evaluated as one of the leading
transport service providers in Vietnam. All of their road transport vehicles are
equipped with GPS navigation systems. The process of transporting and preserving
goods meets the standards of the C-TPAT program - a security program coordinated
between US Customs and border protection designed to strengthen the supply chain
and world security. Not only road transport, but U&I also provides other
transportation solutions such as transportation of project goods, super-long, super-
heavy goods, inland waterway transport, coastal sea, and railway.
Vietnam Transport Exchange (VTruck)
Vtruck was established in May 2014. This is a development plan of U&I
Logistics to create a premise for the strategy of combining e-commerce and traditional
logistics.
12
Vtruck is an application platform operating online in the form of e-commerce,
where shippers and vehicle owners meet, connect, negotiate and conduct transactions.
The difference compared to conventional transportation is that Vtruck removes
the geographical distance, connecting shippers and car owners throughout Vietnam.
They only need a device with an internet connection to be able to meet to exchange
services without paying for the system.
At present, the rate of return of the "empty" transportation unit (vehicle owner)
is always at a high level of around 60 to 70%. Even on routes with a distance of less
than 150km, the level of running in one direction is more than 90%. This fee directly
affects the business (sender). For car owners, when running "empty" in returns, they
often apply a price equivalent to around 60-70% and add it to the cost. If you have to
run one-way delivery, the sender must bear the "empty" return fee.
However, there are hindrances that affect the growth ability of Vtruck in
Vietnam.
First, the exchange of transport in Vietnam is a new type.
Secondly, at present, most transactions between senders and vehicle owners
continue to maintain the traditional transaction method, which is connected in a stable
way through face-to-face meetings or telephone exchanges ...and they are regular.
They have had certain interests together for a long time ...
Third, there are still many transport units that operate in fragmentation, not
interested in online support tools ...
Fourth, it has not been interesting and supported by the state and functional
sectors.
International sea and air transportation
As part of the strategy of diversifying services and creating more choices for
customers, U&I Freight Solutions and U&I Logistics - North were born as an
affirmation of U&I Logistics' correct and sustainable development strategy.

ROE 10.77% 7.64%
The gross benefit proportion shows the productivity per unit of income, and
furthermore mirrors the distinction between the cost of administrations and
Administration incomes (worth of administrations given by U&I Northern to a client).
This proportion of the organization came to 16.10% in 2019, higher than the normal
pace of the coordination business in Vietnam for a similar time of 11.4%.
However, the net benefit proportion of the organization is 0.65%, below the
business normal of 6.2%. Net benefit is the part of net benefit minus different costs,
including regulatory costs, selling costs, burdens, etc. Accommodating with the
expense design of U&I Northern, these different costs represent just 15.8% of absolute
expenses, of which the greater part is regulatory costs and selling costs, for example
costs paid to the board staff, deals staff and the expense of administration.

companies but also has to face competition from international giants such as DHL,
Indo Trans, Schenker, Kuehne + Nagel, Yusen, etc... accounted for 80% of Vietnam
Logistics market share.
Some domestic companies are also considered as strong competitors of U&I,
such as: Delta, Vinavico, Vinalines Logistics, Nhat Tin, ... accounting for 88%. But

with many different options to anticipate business situations: bad, average,
good to have a treatment plan appropriate.. Moreover, use the business plan to
call for investment capital or bank loans. Develop a reasonable debt policy to
avoid bankruptcy due to insolvency. This has helped the U & I company keep
its customers.
Information search can be done in three ways:
The first way, through the company's data warehouse. This is the company's
available data warehouse about customers. Sales staff can get business information
here and start the negotiation process.
The second way, through the relationship. Relationships are a great way, this
makes it easier for businesses to trust the company and makes the negotiation process
faster.
The third way is through searching the internet. This is quite difficult, because
the information of businesses online is general, quite vague and unclear. This makes it
difficult for Sales staff to fully and accurately capture business information. After
having contact with the customer, the sales staff sends a service quotation to
exchange, the successful negotiation will lead to the signing of the contract.
20
3.2. Process of exporting goods
Delivery organization is a very important step that determines the quality of the
company's service. To organize the delivery of export goods, take the following steps:
21
transportation of goods, deliver the goods to the ship, make other procedures if
required... .
22
+ Packing at the port: The process of packing goods at the port is similar to
packing goods at the warehouse, but here requires accompanying paperwork.
Enterprises need to have someone to check and inspect the packing of goods so that
the packing is guaranteed.
Firms need to provide a complete set of certificates including: Commercial
Invoice, Packing list, Bill of lading, Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate
and Fumigation Certificate. If the enterprise pays by L/C for that shipment, it is
necessary to submit a set of documents to the notifying guarantor bank.
Fourth, customs clearance for export goods
When having all the documents provided by the customer about the outbound
shipment, the forwarder uses the electronic customs declaration software to transmit
data about the shipment to the online declaration. The transmission of declarations
helps to classify goods into 3 channels: green channel, red channel and yellow
channel. After that, the ops staff at the forwarding company is responsible for bringing
relevant documents such as: Invoice, Packing list and documents of the shipment to
the customs for customs clearance of the shipment. Customs officers base on the
information on the declaration to enter information and submit to the customs leader
to sign for the shipment to be cleared. Finish the customs clearance process for the
export shipment at the port. Cargo will be arranged on the ship according to the
shipping company's plan.
The opening of a customs declaration requires sufficient documents such as a letter of
introduction to the forwarder, a receipt of documents issued by the customs, a customs
declaration, a foreign trade contract, an invoice and a packing list.
23
Figure 4: Commercial Invoice
24
that they can send the information to the relevant shipping line to request a bill of
lading.
26
+ Operation staff cooperate with document staff to contact shipping lines
to get B/L
+ Send Pre-alert to agents
- For LCL/LCL shipment
+ Confirmation of booking by shipping lines
+ Bring the LCL shipment to the CFS retail delivery station
+ Customs operation staff prepare necessary documents for customs
clearance
+ Consolidators gather LCL shipments, pack them in sealed containers,
and take them to the CY yard at Hai Phong port
+ Operation staff cooperate with document staff to contact shipping lines
to get B/L
+ Send Pre-alert to agents
- For bulk goods
+ Sales staff and documentary staff support each other in understanding
the situation of the goods owner making a declaration of goods for
transportation
+ Documentary staff prepare S/O (Shipping order) and plan to load the
ship on board
+ The forwarder cooperates with the goods owner's representative (if any)
to monitor the loading process on the ship
+ The port and ship will make a record of finalizing the delivery of goods,
making a diagram of the goods loaded on the ship and sending it to the
owner
Step 3: Prepare and hand over transport documents
- Sales staff ask customers to provide shipment details to make a bill of lading
- Document officer sends draft HBL bill of lading for the customer to check and
send to the carrier for MBL
- When confirming the vehicle has departed, the forwarder sends the original
HBL and invoice to the customer.
Step 4 Final settlement of expenses
27
Sales staff settle costs with suppliers and customers, report the process to the head
of the import-export department.
The four steps of U&I Logistics' container shipping process are carried out by
many different departments, and the head of the department is the person who
supervises the activities of each individual in the process. U&I company always tries
to create good relationships with customers, implement the most preferential policies
for big customers and stick with the company. For the staff, the company always
ensures clear reward and discipline policies to encourage employees.
28
3.3 Evaluations of management of the process of delivery and receipt of
exported goods by container at U&I Logistics
3.3.1. Strengths
29
- The company also invests in managers to go to management courses to sharpen
their knowledge and new skills
3.3.2. Weaknesses
- In each stage of the process:
When making export documents, despite having a high level of expertise, in the
process of documenting, sometimes employees still allow errors such as wrong bill of
lading, wrong quantity, volume goods stated on the voucher, etc., affecting the general
process.
When customs clearance for export goods, online customs software is a step
forward to help businesses shorten time and cost of customs declaration. However,
since this is a newly applied software in the company's customs declaration, so many
errors still occur in the operation data entry. Common mistakes are wrong product
code, contract code, wrong invoice trade, etc. This makes the customs clearance
process may be delayed and cost a lot of money.
- With process management activities in general:
Process management activities are also influenced by external influences
enterprises over which the enterprise cannot fully control: customers, shipping lines,
insurance companies, customs authorities, …
Delivery time is sometimes delayed due to linkages with shipping lines and
shipping lines, other shipping units are still loose, not matching the delivery plan
encountered many difficulties. Especially for shipments that have to be transited
through many ships, others are prone to problems such as loss or damage of goods,
late boarding, missing import declaration.
30
CHAPTER 4: SHORTCOMINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 Shortcomings
4.1.1 Technology
There is likewise an issue in applying innovation in Logistics activity. U&I is
just applying a Forwarding Management System (FMS) for logistics services.
Anyway, the framework establishment actually faces numerous troubles because of
the capacity to synchronize information with transportation lines, carriers, customs,
ocean port, air terminal. Transport Management Systems (TMS), Warehouse
Management Software (WMS), Fleet Management Software (FMS), Road
Optimization Software (ROS) are not yet applied and the use of distributed computing
in data the executives is as yet restricted. That creates U&I cannot make the most of
the chance to build rivalry, diminish costs and ensure on-time delivery.
The information technology environment of the whole economy is quite low,
leading to the motivation for businesses to invest in information technology is not
great. Investment capital of companies is not enough to meet the demand. In addition,
Employees are lacking and weak in using high technology, lack the ability to update
knowledge and information about technology applications, making it difficult to
decide on solutions.
4.1.2 Logistics Services
U&I can not meet the demand criteria in some aspects of Logistics services.
The quality of U&I Logistics company in Logistics service is quite good, but still not
appreciated compared with other foreign companies. In terms of criteria of supply
time, information systems and flexibility in service exploitation and management
activities. That also puts pressure on the company's competitiveness in the
international market.
The reasons explain why Vietnam's logistics operations are relatively
ineffective compared to other countries are: Related legislation governing logistics
often hinders; costs of "lubrication" in transportation; the planning of transportation
infrastructure is not synchronous and lack of multi-modal corridor; Road transport can
not meet the requirements of shippers and seaports are not fully exploited their
31
potential, while about 90% of import and export goods of Vietnam are transported by
sea. The biggest limitation to the development of logistics services in Vietnam today
is Customs clearance.
4.2 Recommendations
4.2.1 Enhance technology in logistics services
Thanks to the development of information technology in the area of logistics,
technological factors are increasingly asserting its important position. The application
of information technology in logistics activities helps companies optimize their
management processes, cut down the costs and improve the speed as well as the
efficiency of transactions, thus they can enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
Therefore, logistics services providers by U&I need to quickly apply information
technology into their activities as follows.
Firstly, it is important for U&I to be aware of IT as one of the factors that
create customer satisfaction and contribute to improving the quality of logistics
services. Thus, U&I should focus on building an IT strategy as an important part of
their business strategy.
Secondly, IT infrastructure needs to be focused on improvement and new
construction, especially the application of EDI systems to gradually improve the data
transfer and data digitization, increase security and data transfer speed. In business,
advanced technology provides the owner with a competitive advantage, which allows
their organization to outperform its competitors. Therefore, a part of the budget for
business activities of U&I should be used to invest in IT to effectively apply the new
software needed for logistics activities such as RFID, Barcode, logistics cloud, etc.
Thirdly, to quickly develop the technology in this industry, it is necessary for
U&I to improve employee’s qualification and skills. U&I should pay more attention
and invest more in recruiting and training IT professional personnel. U&I should
combine with human resource training centers or universities to train IT staff with
logistics knowledge. On-site training courses can be used to ensure that IT staff are
trained according to the specifics of the job.
32
4.2.2 Improve management system of customs procedures
For a service business, improving service quality is very necessary. The service
is increasingly fast, accurate, ensure the needs of customers, makes customers
satisfied, then the service is considered to be of good quality, quantity. Completing
every step in the freight forwarding process is a necessary requirement, especially the
process of completing customs procedures. Specifically, those who are directly
involved in this process are customs clearance officers, document employees.
The company needs to carry out the following work steps:
- Join from the beginning with buyers and sellers in negotiations, signing the
contract of sale, then proceed to transport.
- The transportation begins with the design of the transportation route,
packaging, handling goods, clearing customs, providing shipping information
to interested parties are important... The work steps are performed sequentially
until the goods are delivered to the recipient.
- The types of transport that can be used in the process are by sea, air, road, or a
combination of these types, such as multimodal transport method.
This requires companies to apply specialized informatics technologies in
addition to prior knowledge and experience. Thus, logistics activities not only provide
integrated services but also help customers improve business management.
