It is urgent to train and build the 4PL innovative model which is serving for the e-commerce platform. This innovative model is able to be customer demand-oriented, make the modern information technology as the technical support, use its platform advantage to make organic integration of logistics resources and process reengineering, to provide personalized logistics solutions for e-commerce platform and user, and provide evaluation and supervision of the design of its running. While improving the user's product competitiveness, it will help users maximize their profits. The construction of innovative logistics model can effectively reduce logistics costs and improve the quality of logistics services, and share logistics information.This paper mostly uses the theory and methods of logistics, e-commerce, systems theory and other interdisciplinary to analysis and research, and through the use of environmental analysis and industry analysis of specific cases to study innovation and operation of this model, in order to combine the qualitative research and quantitative research, the macro research and micro research. The article firstly discusses the background and significance of the paper, the research methods and contents, while reviews the current research status. Also clarify the theory and concepts of e-commerce and logistics industry. Then, it discusses from the logistics industry in the status and role of e-commerce, and discourse the logistics' lag become a major bottleneck in the development of e-commerce and propose innovative logistics models based on the e-commerce platform, i.e. build the E-Commerce Platform-Based of 4PL Logistics system, and integrate the e-commerce and 4PL.
