In the era of big data, although the application of most enterprise data cannot be called "big data", it also confirms the importance and influence of data application. Indeed, as the information precipitation of enterprise development, data has become an important asset of enterprises. How to effectively use data is a topic that every enterprise must face.
Here we share a case of Bosideng Group improving corporate efficiency by improving its information system and strengthening data operation management.
From 2012 to 2015, Bosideng's operating efficiency was not ideal, but it was "reborn" in 2016, and its overall profit reached 150%. Why? At that time, the boss mentioned an important point, one of which was "big data analysis". Although Bosideng, as a traditional manufacturing enterprise, only has about 300G of data per year, we are still determined to improve the original system.
In the past, our system was built based on traditional manufacturing enterprises, using the platform to formulate all systems, and then conducting secondary development on the platform, and did not use a complete package of finished products. Later, such a platform caused many limitations and could not support the analysis of big data in terms of performance, so we adopted the SAP solution in 2013. After SAP went online, it did play a certain advantage, and it was able to collect and integrate various data in the business system into the data warehouse and show it to the leaders of various departments. But with the huge advantage that SAP brings, leaders also have a new need: viewing real-time reports. This kind of demand cannot be achieved by SAP, nor can the optimized version of SAP, so we tried to do it from various channels, and finally adopted the FanRuan report.
What important role does FanRuan report play in the overall structure of Bosideng? Let's talk about the background first.
Since 2016, Bosideng has changed from the original wholesale model to the retail model, and the management of the data of each franchised store has very high requirements on the system. Our middle and front office use Ali's platform, and the overall structure is based on Ali's products. Under the support of these platforms, that is, based on the precipitation of the overall business, the requirements of front-end customers or business changes can be quickly responded to based on these. On the basis of these service centers, we will build the business system of customers or users. Therefore, based on such an infrastructure, a distributed database cannot be avoided. However, the BU report of SAP cannot solve the data processing of the distributed database, so the FineReport report of FanRuan is quoted. The following is the IT information architecture that Bosideng will implement in the past two years, based on a strong middle and back office business system and a high-performance distributed front office.
2. Integrate distributed database data and analyze reports in real time
The distribution and supply on store poses are all divided into databases. Using FineReport's multi-source data connection advantages to integrate data, it can also take into account the real-time nature of data and improve business efficiency.
