After experiencing the epidemic, most domestic manufacturing companies have finally ushered in the recovery and growth of consumer demand on the market side. However, how to gain a place in the market with less investment and higher returns in the fierce competition has become a The sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of many enterprises. When the market is in the stage of brutal growth, enterprises generally make business operation decisions through the extensive management of individual or group "experience", and they can obtain sufficient market share; but when the market is in a stage of full competition, only relying on people's Experience and judgment are not enough, and business operations and decision-making need to be supported through digitization.
#01 Dilemma of SMEs
Profit is the first goal pursued by business operations. How to maximize profits is naturally a normalized topic for business operations. At different development stages of an enterprise, the ways of pursuing profits are different, but they are all inseparable from "opening up sources of income and reducing expenditure". Among them, increasing revenue refers to expanding the sales volume of products, while throttling refers to reducing various costs such as production and sales.
open source
Most small and medium-sized manufacturing companies rely on channel agents for sales (large processing and manufacturing companies will have their own online or offline official self-operated sales channels), and sales are often more dependent on market demand, product power and brand influence .
Most enterprises will carry out some marketing or brand promotion activities to expand the cognitive influence of the brand or product in the market, but how to simply and quickly evaluate the effect of marketing promotion has become a major problem facing enterprises.
throttling
For manufacturing enterprises, throttling is mainly to reduce production costs in various ways, such as:
- Improve the level of production automation to reduce labor costs, but will be limited by the level of production technology
- Improve the yield rate of products and reduce the production loss of the assembly line
- Refined management of warehousing and logistics to reduce storage loss and logistics loss
- Reduce various operating costs
For enterprises, products with higher gross profit will rely more on marketing to expand the influence of the brand and products; while products with low gross profit that need to be sold need to reduce production costs to maximize profits.
Small and medium-sized manufacturing companies generally have limited cash flow, and often invest the cash flow from revenue into the next round of production. Therefore, the efficiency of capital use is very important. In actual operation, the following problems are often encountered:
- It is impossible to grasp and intervene in the production and operation of the enterprise in real time during the production process, and the actual operation of the company can only be known through quarterly or annual inventory
- The pressure is all on the boss himself, and he has to manage every detail, so he cannot be freed from production and operation
- I don't know how to improve the efficiency of limited capital use, and how to achieve more efficient production scheduling? Is it necessary to increase production lines or production shifts?
- There are too many subjective managements, and it is difficult to objectively assess the KPIs of various departments in the enterprise. For example, how to assess warehouse management? How to assess the workshop director and monitor?
So, how to solve these problems efficiently and at low cost?
#02 Low-code building digital system to empower small and medium-sized enterprises
The practice of many large enterprises has verified that digitizing business, helping enterprises to coordinate production planning, production management, inventory management and other processes through the system, and driving business management through indicators in the production and sales process can effectively improve production efficiency and profit .
But for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, on the one hand, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to build an IT team and complex digital system with a large budget; on the other hand, it is difficult to recruit suitable talents in the market. Technical staff. Therefore, low-code business platforms and low-code indicator platforms that provide SaaS products and services are more suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and can help enterprises build digital systems that meet their business needs at low cost and with low thresholds.
