Abstract

This study examines the impact of supply chain integration (SCI) on operational performance (OP) in the cross-border e-commerce logistics sector, with a focus on the mediating role of information sharing (IS). Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 300 logistics professionals in Shanghai through an online survey. The results confirm that SCI significantly enhances OP and that IS serves as a critical mediator in this relationship. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) validated the proposed model, showing robust relationships among the constructs. The findings emphasize the importance of SCI and IS in improving delivery speed, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction. This study provides empirical evidence for the strategic integration of supply chain processes and highlights the role of IS in optimizing operational performance within Shanghai’s dynamic logistics ecosystem. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
