Autonavi map aggregation ride-hailing experience: one account, multiple services

  The latest version of Autonavi Map has added the function of aggregating ride-hailing, allowing users to easily call taxis, Didi Express, Shouqi Car-hailing and Shenzhou special cars with only one account in Autonavi Map. In the future, finding a taxi can be easily done with an APP. After a few days of experience, I will share with you the experience of aggregating ride-hailing.

  On July 27, Autonavi Maps launched its new one-stop public transportation service platform at the Future Transportation Summit – Autonavi Easy Travel Platform. This platform has been connected to multiple online car-hailing service providers such as Didi Chuxing, Shenzhou Special Car, and Shouqi Car-hailing. The ride-hailing function launched by Autonavi Maps this time is also the embodiment of the Autonavi Easy Travel platform in the mobile client side of Autonavi Maps. Users can now easily call a car on Autonavi Maps.

  Just like using the "driving" and "bus" functions of the Autonavi map, using the ride-hailing function in the Autonavi map is also very simple to get started. We just need to click the "Route" button on the homepage of the Autonavi map, and we will find that the "ride-hailing" function has been added to the function page. Enter the starting and ending points on this page, and then click "Call a Car Now", you can easily call a ride online. In addition, the editor also found a way to quickly enter the ride-hailing page, Autonavi map placed a ride-hailing shortcut in the shortcut bar on the right side of the homepage, and you can click to go straight to the ride-hailing page, which is very "simple and crude". Users who often use online ride-hailing can enter the ride-hailing page here.

  The next step is to call a car. After entering the starting destination on the ride-hailing page, the Autonavi map will list taxis, economy, comfort, business, luxury and other grades of online ride-hailing cars for us to choose from, and list the prices of various online ride-hailing cars on the page. After we choose the type of car we want to call, click "Call a Car Now", and the Autonavi map will call each online ride-hailing platform to find a vehicle for us. There is still a section of the road to get home after I get off work from the subway every day. For this section of the road, the editor usually takes a taxi, so choose the economical Didi.

  After the driver takes the order, like other online ride-hailing apps, Autonavi Maps will also list the model, car number, driver, real-time location and other information of the order, and allow users to contact the driver and cancel the order. When the driver picks up the passenger and starts the journey, Autonavi Maps will also display the remaining distance, time, navigation route and other information to the destination on the page, so that users can easily know the route at a glance.

  When we arrive at the destination, the Autonavi map will automatically display the distance, duration and other information of the whole journey, as well as the fare and details. In addition, when we use the ride-hailing function of the Autonavi map for the first time, the Autonavi map will prompt us to bind Alipay secret-free payment. After binding, Alipay will automatically deduct the fee when the trip is over. We just need to get off the bus directly, which is convenient and fast, saving time and worry.

  Many people will ask, taxi with the major network about the car platform’s own APP is good, why do you still use Autonavi map to call a car? Small series believes that this is a user convenience problem, in the current mobile end point application serious fragmentation of the status quo, if the user needs to switch a function every time you use the APP, over time, it will make users very annoying.

  Let’s imagine the following travel scenario: You go on a business trip out of town. After arriving in the destination city, you first check the hotels near the business location on the Autonavi map and plan to stay there. After checking, you plan to call a car to this hotel. Or when you have a friend in the city where you are on a business trip, the friend knows that you are coming and wants to invite you to dinner, and tells you the place and time of the meal. But when you are done and find that the bus is a little tight, you want to call a car after checking the location on the Autonavi map. In these travel scenarios, when you check the location, you can call a car directly in the Autonavi map, instead of having to hastily switch to the online car-hailing app to call a car. Is this much more convenient?

  After some experience, the editor believes that the release of Autonavi Maps’ easy-to-use platform and access to online car-hailing precisely solve the most practical needs of users, making Autonavi a comprehensive service platform based on providing map services. Now, Autonavi Maps can adapt to a variety of travel scenarios, providing users with a variety of travel services in one stop, making users’ mobile Internet life more convenient. With the coming of the school season in September, as well as the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival and November holidays, car demand is about to usher in a new wave. Friends who often take taxis, I suggest you upgrade Autonavi Maps to the latest version, and then call a car more conveniently.

Expert: For safety reasons, large aircraft should use the Beidou navigation system


In the earthquake relief, our army has begun to use the "Beidou" navigation system handheld



China’s future large aircraft imagination


  According to the China Industry News, competitiveness and international cooperation are compulsory courses before a large aircraft "takes off."


  On December 29, 2007, Premier Wen Jiabao made a special trip to Xi’an Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. to inspect and welcome the 2008 New Year with Xifei people. Premier Wen pointed out that the independent development of large aircraft is a major strategic decision made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, which means that the Chinese people will use their own hands and wisdom to create a competitive large aircraft in the world.


  What is competitiveness? It is to achieve mass production and achieve the three important goals of safety, economy and comfort, so as to be competitive in the domestic and international markets. The large aircraft that Premier Wen refers to as competitive in the world refers to the civilian passenger aircraft (hereinafter referred to as the large aircraft) in China’s large aircraft.


  What kind of big aircraft does our country want to build? Industry insiders pointed out that we must first start with the nature, market, model, range and non-large regional passenger aircraft of the big aircraft. The general policy of manufacturing a competitive big aircraft in the world, of course, must follow Premier Wen’s instructions, concentrate on integrating the development and production resources of large aircraft, rely on national economic strength, scientific and technological innovation, rely on talents, and rely on the wisdom and creativity of every design and manufacturing personnel.


  Safety factor, the first issue to be faced in large aircraft projects


  Experts point out that the key to a large aircraft’s large fuel volume and long voyage is to consider safety factors, in addition to the following aspects:


  At present, many airport facilities in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania are very rudimentary, and the communication and navigation equipment is backward, or even there is no backup, which puts forward high requirements for the aircraft itself. Under special circumstances, the pilot must be prepared to land independently without relying on ground navigation, and the large aircraft to be manufactured in our country must have a clear understanding of this.


  Second, it must be easy to operate. In view of the conditions of airports in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania, large aircraft cannot pursue full electric operation, and must adhere to the combination of electromechanical and two sets of mechanical backup, and at the same time be easy to operate. Simply put, it is the optimization of Western avionics systems and Russian manual control systems. Therefore, such a large aircraft does not need Western avionics equipment as "foreign", nor can it be as "soil" as Russian manual control systems.


  Third, the design of large aircraft should take into account harsh and extreme environments. The geographical environment of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania is different, and the temperature difference between day and night in tropical desert areas is very large, which also puts forward high requirements for the fatigue strength, corrosion resistance and lightning protection of aircraft.


  And four.Large aircraft should use the domestic Beidou navigation system.At present, although the GPS Global Position System is free, it is impossible to predict whether the situation will change in 2020. Therefore, even if it is not out of national pride of independent research and development, it should be adopted for economic and security reasons only. According to the conservative estimates of relevant people, by 2018, the Beidou navigation system technology will be very mature and has already been industrialized.


  Improving the economy is an important foundation for participating in international competition


  Industry experts believe that for the economy of large aircraft, in addition to engine fuel economy, the following aspects are also very important:


  The first is that the self-weight cannot be too large. Due to the fact that the basic processes such as casting, forging and stamping in the Soviet Union are not up to standard, and the processing technology is not as good as those in the West, the main components of the aircraft cannot meet the design requirements, so they have to adopt reinforcement methods, resulting in problems such as low structural efficiency, high fuel consumption, and low transportation efficiency of the aircraft. Although the technology of European and American aircraft is good, it pays too much attention to economy, leaving little room for design indicators, so that users think that European and American aircraft are not as strong and solid as Soviet-style aircraft. Therefore, in addition to relying on advanced technology to reduce the inefficiency caused by the large weight of the aircraft, large aircraft in our country also need to use a large number of composite materials to reduce the weight Since the main markets for China’s large aircraft positioning are Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania, as long as large aircraft are cheaper than European and American aircraft and more fuel-efficient than Russian aircraft, they will definitely find their own blue ocean.


  The second is that it is easy to maintain and repair, and the maintenance and repair costs are cheap. The reason why Soviet aircraft are still widely used in third world countries is that they are easy to maintain and cheap. Therefore, large aircraft can take advantage of the advantages of Soviet Russian aircraft, otherwise they may lose the market if they are not high enough to be low enough.


  The third is good versatility. There are many low-cost airlines in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania, and most of them only purchase one type of aircraft or even one type of aircraft to reduce costs. Due to poor airport facilities, inconvenient transportation, and limited backup of aviation materials, this requires that the same model of large aircraft should be easy to disassemble and replace, and if necessary, the parts of one or two aircraft can be disassembled to ensure that one aircraft takes off.


  Fourth, the continuity should be strong. China’s large aircraft must have its own characteristics, and the subsequent models must be inherited and continuous. Otherwise, the subsequent models of the aircraft cannot be accepted by airlines, because it is equivalent to two types of aircraft, and the maintenance cost will be greatly increased.

  Geely Galaxy to accelerate the launch of new models and channel construction expansion or its sales target. At the beginning of the year, Geely Automobile Group put forward the goal of doubling the overall sales of new energy in 2023. Data show that the sales of new energy products of Geely Automobile Group in 2022 are about 320,000, which means that the overall sales of new energy of the group this year will exceed 600,000.

  As a product sequence in the Geely brand, Galaxy also bears part of the sales target. Bach, general manager of Geely Galaxy’s business unit, said in an interview during this year’s Shanghai Auto Show that at least one-third of the more than 300,000 new vehicles to be added by the group this year will be borne by Galaxy products.

How can online ride-hailing drivers who are trapped for a long time protect their health?

  reading prompt

  Sitting for more than 10 hours a day, not being able to eat on time, not being able to use the toilet at any time, and driving with high brain tension, online ride-hailing drivers face a variety of occupational health risks. Due to the "cooperative relationship" with the platform, online ride-hailing drivers cannot obtain corresponding medical insurance on the platform.

  "The mileage of the dashboard of the car is hundreds of kilometers every day, and the number of steps we walk is less than 1,000. It seems that we don’t have to work in the car every day, but in fact, after more than 10 hours a day, we are more tired than people who do other jobs," said the ride-hailing driver Xiang Feibian as he drove.

  In 2015, Xiang Fei came to Beijing from Qinghai to become an online car-hailing driver. In order to increase the number of orders, he, like many online car-hailing drivers, goes out early and returns late every day, and works more than 10 hours. Online car-hailing is convenient for people to travel, but sitting for a long time every day, not being able to eat on time and using the toilet at any time bring many health risks to online car-hailing drivers.

  Chen Baosheng, chief physician of the physical examination department of Peking University Shougang Hospital, said that online taxi drivers are sedentary in the cab for a long time, often put into work immediately after meals, and the brain is in a high state of tension when driving. It is easy to gain weight, blood pressure, blood lipids, etc. will rise, and metabolic diseases such as diabetes will also be caused by metabolic dysfunction. In addition, if you maintain a posture for a long time, the spine is not evenly stressed, and the driver is also prone to ligament and muscle damage.

  Working overtime makes the health of online car-hailing drivers worry

  At 10:30 p.m. on April 19, Qi Caijuan, who had finished her mission, returned to the downstairs of the community. She slowly opened the door, gently poked her legs out of the car, and walked out of the cab hunched over. "It’s an old problem," Qi Caijuan said. Every night when she finished work, her waist would not straighten up, and it would take a few minutes to walk normally.

  Qi Caijuan is an online ride-hailing driver in Chengde, Hebei. At the age of 20 years, she has a hair problem. In addition to the pain in the waist, shoulders and neck caused by long-term sitting, Qi Caijuan also suffers from stomach problems due to the lack of argument for eating.

  Although he has only been driving online for a few years, Xiang Fei has already suffered from a serious lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. He said that he had heard people say that online car-hailing drivers make a lot of money before, but after he started working, he knew that there was a lot of water on his account, but after deducting the oil money and car damage, he really didn’t get much. In the past two years, the number of online car-hailing drivers has increased, and the industry competition has intensified. In order to make more money, he drives almost 12 hours a day.

  Xiang Fei used to put a headrest in the driver’s seat to keep the head and waist relatively comfortable, but in the past two years, the platform has required drivers to have a unified image, and they are not allowed to put personal items in the car. He can only remove these items. Xiang Fei said that because of the difficulty of parking, he rarely goes to the toilet, and many drivers also suffer from prostatitis.

  According to a study conducted by Tsinghua University in 2021, the average daily working time of online car-hailing drivers in first-tier cities is 11.05 hours, and the average weekly travel time is 6.45 days. More than 80% of online car-hailing drivers spend more than 8 hours a day.

  "If you have a new order, please take it in time." Wu Jiahong, the online taxi driver, took advantage of the absence of passengers and was ready to take a nap in the car. Before taking 10 minutes, the order notification sounded on her mobile phone. Wu Jiahong leaves the car on time at 7 o’clock every day, and sometimes it is already 12 o’clock in the evening when she returns home. On this day, she wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, so she did not turn off the order receiving system during the rest, but just started the car, a burst of cervical spine pain accompanied by a burst of dizziness suddenly hit, and she had to cancel the task and go home to rest.

  Go to the hospital once and lose half a day’s income

  Online car-hailing drivers belong to flexible employment. They have not signed an employment contract with the platform and have no social security. It has always been a dilemma for online car-hailing drivers to be solved. All along, Qi Caijuan has paid social insurance by herself as a flexible employer.

  Although she often feels unwell, Qi Caijuan rarely goes to the hospital in order to take more orders. "It takes half a day to go once, and in addition to the money it costs to see a doctor, half a day of income is also gone." She said that when her stomach is uncomfortable, she goes to the community hospital to prescribe some stomach medicine and put it in the car for backup. When her shoulder and neck are really uncomfortable, she will go to the massage shop to press it, on average once every two months.

  After resting at home for half a day, Wu Jiahong still felt stuffy in her chest, so she came to a hospital the next day in desperation. "I spent nearly 300 yuan in the morning, which is almost half of my water for half a day." Wu Jiahong told reporters that if she used medical insurance to settle, she would only need to pay half the money, but because the platform did not pay for her medical insurance, she did not renew her medical insurance after it expired, and could only pay in full.

  On November 30 last year, the Ministry of Transport and other eight departments issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Employees in the New Business of Transportation", which proposed to encourage online car-hailing platform enterprises to actively participate in the pilot of occupational injury protection, and to urge online car-hailing platform enterprises to participate in social insurance for drivers who meet the conditions of labor relations in accordance with the law, and to guide and support drivers who do not fully meet the conditions of establishing labor relations to participate in corresponding social insurance.

  Wu Jiahong told reporters that in order to increase her income, she often takes orders on multiple online ride-hailing platforms, but none of these platforms have signed employment contracts with them, which are only "cooperative relationships." She said that if there are platforms that can pay for social security and medical insurance, she is willing to run orders on one platform full-time.

  "I hope the platform can provide free regular medical checkups"

  After seven years of online car-hailing in Beijing, Xiang Fei recently participated in the free driver medical examination organized by the trade union system through the platform for the first time.

  Xiang Fei is very satisfied with the inspection. He told reporters that the physical examination includes not only blood routine, liver and kidney function, full abdominal color ultrasound and other routine inspections, but also a special project for the driver’s prostate examination.

  After the checkup, the hospital also held lectures on disease prevention, first aid and other aspects of occupational diseases for online ride-hailing drivers, and organized free clinics for online ride-hailing drivers. "I think it’s very useful, I learned a lot of knowledge, and I feel much more comfortable after shoulder and neck massage," Xiang Fei said, but he did not know when the next checkup would be.

  As she gets older, Qi Caijuan has become more and more concerned about her physical condition. Since the platform has not yet provided free medical checkups to drivers, she has taken the initiative to check twice. "I hope the platform can provide free regular medical checkups, so that I can feel more at ease when working," Qi Caijuan said.

  Chen Baosheng said that considering the professional characteristics of drivers, they should conduct more in-depth and comprehensive inspections of key parts such as the spine every three years or so in addition to the regular physical examination every year. Drivers themselves should also pay attention to their physical health and get out of the car as much as possible to do some stretching exercises.

  The recent notice issued by Guangdong Province on further improving the work related to flexible employment personnel participating in basic medical insurance for employees pointed out that, including relying on new business platforms such as e-commerce, online car-hailing, online food delivery, and express logistics to achieve employment, and employees who have not established labor relations with new business platform enterprises can participate in basic medical insurance for employees at the place of employment in Guangdong Province without household registration restrictions. This measure will increase health protection for new employment forms such as online car-hailing drivers.

Yunli (Ticket Easy Pass) helps Staples to implement its financial intelligence system

In the context of the global digitalization wave, data is constantly integrated into all aspects of life and production, and digitalization is becoming a new growth point and new driving force for China’s economy. Yunli (Ticket Easy Pass), the pioneer and leader of enterprise collaborative services in the field of digital economy, joins hands with Staples, the world’s leading office supply company, to jointly create an efficient and transparent financial supply chain system, and promote the implementation of Staples’ financial intelligence system! Help Staples achieve cost reduction and efficiency, and become a pioneer enterprise led by digital intelligence!

On the road of digital transformation, Yunli’s excellent product strength and quality services have been helping Staples’ supply chain business to thrive."

Traditional procurement processes face digital transformation challenges

As the first office supply service provider in the industry to serve the whole country, Staples and its suppliers are prone to problems such as large reconciliation workload, low efficiency, and difficult monitoring of the whole order process based on the traditional supply chain procurement process, which hinders its progress in the digital age. Through digital settlement and collaborative products to open up communication barriers, upgrade automated invoicing systems, and improve business processing efficiency are Staples’ practical needs and expectations.

After a long period of research and rigorous selection, Staples has reached a strategic cooperation with Yunli (Ticket Easy Pass) in the global Enterprise Services field. In the upgrade of the digital financial supply chain system, step by step, from pilot operation to iterative optimization, and in the process of upgrading, the system is continuously promoted in the form of accelerated jogging.

Through solutions such as import and sales ticket tax management and supply chain settlement collaboration, Staples is helped to establish a digital intelligent supply chain system, achieve information connection, automatic decision-making, automatic adjustment, and whole-process optimization, effectively avoid fiscal and tax risks, improve efficiency, reduce fees and reduce taxes, and fully realize upstream and downstream coordination.

03 Deeply empower the value of the whole process of business collaboration supply chain

With the help of the Ticket EasyPass Settlement Collaboration Platform, Staples has achieved all-round management of orders from procurement, settlement, invoicing, billing, and payment, from the electronicization of invoicing and settlement to the electronicization of comprehensive transaction processes, ultimately achieving efficient business collaboration and value enhancement throughout the supply chain.

Value 1 Direct invoicing compliance Efficient

Using the "Settlement Collaboration Platform", Staples’ thousands of suppliers can receive the settlement data pushed by VP (Staples Supplier Settlement System) in a timely and accurate manner, and realize one-click issuance of online reconciliation invoices. The function of automatic ticket opening and matching tax classification codes avoids split errors, avoids staggering, reduces communication costs, realizes account matching, reduces costs and increases efficiency, and ensures efficient corporate invoicing compliance.

After using the collaborative platform to directly connect invoicing, the overall processing efficiency of bills increased by 80%, the single invoicing operation time was reduced by about 45 minutes year-on-year, and the probability of refund was reduced by 5% year-on-year, almost reaching 0 refunds.

Funding issues often have a direct impact on the health of the supply chain. For Staples, focusing on business digitalization is not only an important measure for its own development, but also a strategic deployment that reflects Staples’ business philosophy of integrity and win-win, and ensures the smooth development of partners’ business upstream and downstream in the supply chain.

Through the cooperative invoicing of Ticket Easy Pass settlement, the reconciliation information is confirmed online, and the invoicing information is reviewed in advance, the settlement efficiency is greatly improved, and the payment cycle of suppliers is greatly shortened. Through the Yunli (Ticket Easy Pass) digital platform, the transaction process of purchasers and suppliers is maintained, the financial pressure of suppliers is reduced, the overall supply is guaranteed to operate smoothly in a healthy and coordinated environment, and the last mile of settlement between Staples and upstream and downstream partners is connected.

Value 3 Smooth transition ticket electronic

The electronic issuance of special tickets has become the trend of the times. The Ticket Easy Pass Settlement Coordination Platform is the first batch of third-party platforms for the issuance of electronic special tickets approved by the national tax, and has obtained the filing of electronic invoices from 36 provincial tax bureaus across the country. When suppliers issue electronic invoices through the settlement coordination platform, Staples can receive the invoices, and the invoices and business orders are automatically matched without sending them. The system supports the invoicing requirements after the electronic issuance of special tickets. Under the special phone policy, Ticket Easy Pass can quickly iteratively meet the invoicing needs of suppliers, helping Staples to calmly cope with the trend of electronic issuance of special tickets.

By upgrading the traditional offline settlement model to online collaboration, Staples has reinvented its financial business data collection process, and realized the whole process information display of orders from procurement, settlement, invoicing, billing, and payment. This has laid the foundation for the comprehensive accumulation, fast processing, and real-time sharing of financial information, forming the transition from accounting to management.

Yunlianpin Yitong settlement collaboration platform, the whole process of order, return order, acceptance order, and settlement invoice data can be seen and traced. Through system construction and data analytics functions, we will build a financial "big data center" for Staples to help enterprises better perceive the economic and operating laws behind financial data, and completely subvert the transformation of decision-making based on experience into decision-making based on data insight.

04 Focus on collaborative connectivity to welcome the new digital future

Over the past 6 years, Yunli has successfully served more than 150 Fortune 500 companies, connected more than 1 million upstream and downstream suppliers, the cumulative transaction amount exceeded 20 trillion yuan, and technology empowered Walmart, McDonald’s, Vanke and other retail, real estate and other industry giants to achieve upstream and downstream enterprise collaboration and electronic ticket, boosting the construction of fiscal and taxation information.

The tide of digital transformation is unstoppable, Yunli is willing to work closely with Staples, continue to coordinate the entire supply chain system with a big picture view, provide accurate data support and high-quality services for the settlement process through the blessing of technology, and join hands with Staples, win-win growth, and jointly meet the new future of China’s industrial digitalization!
