Zero-supply collaboration platform
A new path for business growth in the omnichannel era
In the process of transformation from modern retail to new retail, the responsiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the supply chain are the key factors to win the competition, and the synergy between retail and supply has increasingly become a new path for consumer goods companies to pursue business growth. Zero-supply collaboration refers to the efficient, close and open cooperation between retailers and brands (suppliers) in the supply chain ecosystem, and its essence lies in improving the efficiency of supply chain operation and achieving ecological win-win results through deep integration and collaborative cooperation.
Huang Xiaozhi, Director of Cloud Solutions
Huang Xiaozhi believes that it is the value consensus and consistent goal of brands, suppliers and retailers to make efforts in the five directions of information sharing, collaborative planning, risk sharing, process optimization and continuous communication, and realize zero supply collaboration through online and digital methods. However, due to the fact that the traditional "zero-supply cooperation" model is usually based on simple transaction relationships and lacks deep links and collaborative integration, the current zero-supply collaborative construction generally faces difficulties such as low system connection coverage, barriers to business and financial processes, complex and changeable supply and marketing models, and long-term maintenance of continuous operation.
Based on this, it is necessary to use a digital platform with resource allocation and organizational collaboration capabilities to connect brands, suppliers and retailers through collaboration, open up the system and process breakpoints between upstream and downstream, and continue to empower the management, operation and business growth of both suppliers and suppliers. Huang Xiaozhi pointed out that at present, the state is vigorously promoting the fourth phase of the golden tax and the number of electric bills, and gradually intervening in the upstream and downstream operations of enterprises through the digitization of invoices, which will provide a favorable opportunity for opening up the last mile of zero supply coordination.
