Data is the basis of reports, and the quality of data in business systems must be paid attention to. If the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of data are not guaranteed, the results will be greatly compromised.

2 Transformation and upgrading to embark on the road of big data analysis
The company pays special attention to information construction and has successively launched OA, SAP, MES, WMS, cloud procurement, palm treasure, security management and other information systems. However, as time goes by, some problems have been exposed:
The degree of informatization of each subsidiary is different, business data is relatively scattered, and there is also a lack of unified data management standards.
There is a problem of data islands between various systems. There are many manual processing scenarios in business data analysis, and the form of data analysis is also relatively simple.
In response to the above problems, Red Sun Group urgently needs a professional data analysis tool to connect the data of various systems and conduct diversified display and analysis of the data. In the end, Red Sun Group chose to cooperate with Fanruan to start the road of big data analysis.
3 Scenario application personalized digital opportunities
- Visualize procurement cost reduction and optimize group procurement model
Under the traditional procurement model, each Red Sun production base purchases raw materials, spare parts, packaging materials and other materials on its own. The basic mode of procurement is for the buyer to contact the supplier to confirm specific procurement matters, and then submit them to the leader for approval. The approval process depends on the informatization level of the production base, and the procurement application process is also different. It may be applied offline through paper application, or through OA procurement process application, or through SAP application. Different bases’ own procurement and application paths have brought many problems:
There is a single supplier and there is no good competition mechanism, which is not conducive to controlling procurement costs;
Leaders have no data support when approving purchase applications and can only rely on experience to judge whether the purchase price is reasonable;
The group must conduct unified summary every month, and each production base must manually organize and report to the group in excel offline. Not only does it consume a lot of manpower, but the accuracy of the data is also difficult to guarantee.
In response to the above problems, the group independently developed a "cloud procurement platform", which is seamlessly integrated with OA and SAP. There are three versions of PC, mobile H5 and mobile app: among them, cloud procurement is oriented to the direct interaction between buyers and suppliers, mainly Functions include inquiry, order, receipt and delivery, invoice, etc. OA has established processes such as supplier access approval, demand application, inquiry and price comparison approval, order approval, goods receipt approval, invoice approval, etc., effectively establishing the company's centralized procurement The management model standardizes the procurement business process. Combined with the FineReport reporting tool, procurement can be digitized, effectively achieving procurement cost reduction targets and saving over 10 million yuan a year.
Summary of value points:
Group procurement has achieved unified management, changing the previous "siloed" situation. Leaders can understand the procurement situation of the entire group in real time, and no longer need to make offline summaries and report to the group every month;
Leaders’ approval of purchase applications is supported by data analysis and no longer relies on experience to make decisions;
The "Cloud Procurement Platform" facilitates procurement cost control. From the beginning of 2020 to June 11, 2020, procurement costs were reduced by 5.07%, saving approximately RMB 20 million.
- Automation of attendance statistics improves 99% human efficiency
At the end of every month, it is often the busiest time for personnel. They are busy with attendance statistics. They need to export employees' attendance records from the attendance machine (Enterprise WeChat), and export employees' leave, overtime, business trip, compensation leave and other records from the OA process. Then check them one by one, which takes 3 to 5 working days to complete each time. Not only is the workload huge, its accuracy and objectivity also deviate from the actual situation. At the same time, management cannot view employee attendance information in real time.
Summary of value points:
Freeing up the workload of attendance statisticians, from the previous 3-5 days to the current few minutes, the efficiency has increased by more than 99%;
For individual employees, they can check their attendance logs at any time to clarify their attendance routine;
Strengthen departmental collaboration. People in the same department can see other people's requests for leave and business trips, and make timely work adjustments.
- Enterprise safety warning to ensure production safety and safety management
Safety is an eternal issue for enterprises. "Safety is for production, and production must be safe." Safety production is related to the stability of the enterprise and the life safety of employees, and the work has a long way to go. Red Sun Group used Fanruan's powerful reporting function to develop a monitoring and early warning system for major hazard sources.
Summary of value points:
Based on the defined safety values and real-time sensor data comparison, real-time warnings are achieved, and messages are pushed to relevant personnel. After the problem is solved, it will automatically return to normal without manual intervention. Compared with the previous need for regular inspections by staff, the timeliness and accuracy have been greatly improved, while labor costs have been reduced.
Historical alarm information records can be checked at any time, tracking the changes in the half hour before and after the abnormality, analyzing the causes of the abnormality, and playing a significant role in preventing future abnormal situations.
4 Data + business + reports join hands in the digital future
The digital upgrading and construction of Red Sun Group has promoted the improvement of corporate management efficiency and production efficiency, and also provided a good example for the future digital transformation and upgrading of enterprises. Only by looking at the problem from a business perspective, understanding where the pain points are, and what to do can we truly help the business solve the problem.
During the project process, you need to keep track of problems encountered and solve them in a timely manner to avoid accumulation of problems. At the same time, you must report the project progress to the leadership in a timely manner and seek necessary help and resources to ensure the promotion and implementation of the project.
Data is the basis of reports, and the quality of data in business systems must be paid attention to. If the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of data are not guaranteed, the results will be greatly compromised. The processing of data is closely related to business, and is shown through reports. The trinity of data, business, and reports jointly promotes the improvement of enterprise management level and sustainable development.
