The pandemic Covid-19 give impact directly to the logistics service industry dueto restriction of people mobilization which reduce goods flow using itstransportation modes (inland, ocean, air).
More than 90% of logistics service industry in Indonesia were impacted so thattheir return decreased (ILFA, 2020).
The contribution of logistics service industry to the Gross Domestic Products(GDP) was 5.57% (Indonesian Statistics Agency, 2020). Logistics service industry isthe backbone for other trade and industries.
There is a need to map the impacted dan the survived industries and then toformulate the appropriate strategies for recovering the business after thepandemic Covid-19.
In general, the Covid-19 pandemic clearly has an impact on the transportation of goods throughout 2020. The average decline in 2020 compared to 2019 was minus 8% (Statistics Indonesia, 2020)
The biggest decline occurred in May, the decline reached minus 50.79%. Meanwhile, the month with the lowest decline was in September at -8.66%. The average decline in 2020 compared to 2019 reached 28.53%. (Statistics Indonesia, 2020)
• The impact and response of the Logistics Service Industry to therecovery efforts varied widely, in general the recovery strategy sloweddue to the contradiction between “the desire to reach new markets”and “the condition of not being ready to invest in recovery due to thestagnation of cash flow during the pandemic”.
• These contradictions can be resolved with several "Principles ofInnovation" in logistics services, including references to “BestPractices" that were successful during the pandemic (Business toCustomer/B2C and Customer to Customer/C2C) to become thestandard for the National Logistics Service Business Model.
• Changes in business models that can guarantee cash flow can helpgather the courage to invest, in the spirit of creating new markets andstrengthening service systems so that they can recover and growquickly.
• When the industrial community is unable to change its businessmodel due to limited funding during the pandemic, the Governmentcan come up with a financial stimulus that can trigger and spur themovement of freight transport.
• Changes in the “Budget Mechanism” (APBN/APBD/BUMN)*) areneeded to ensure cash flow in the business, thereby accelerating themovement of goods and the national economy.
Conclusion
*) APBN/APBD: State budget, BUMN: state-owned enterprise
