This paper analyzes the difficulties and characters of informationization in small medium logistics enterprises,emphasizing on designing of the general framework,which involves four parts,i.e the management information sub-system,the monitoring sub-system,web site sub-system and data exchange platform.It also discusses the general framework and functions of the logistics information system based on GIS(Geological Information System) for minimizing the informationization cost,in which the key problem and choke point of huge data accessing and the priority of multi-user based on web data exchange platform are also discussed.Furthermore,it introduces the implement of the management system,involving the visual models of operation process based on UML(Unified Modeling Language),the key technologies and arithmetic based on GIS(for example the optimal distribution scheme based on real-time vehicles dispatching and the location model of logistics units based on ArcGIS),and necessary and optimal equipment of hardware and software.The research and development of the logistics information system aided reconstructing and optimizing the operation flowing and supply chain,improving working efficiency and level of management,which had been applied to some medium logistics enterprise in Nanjing successfully,and set a good example and reference of operation informationization for other small medium logistics enterprises.
