The Spring Festival is approaching, Beijing's major supermarkets and farmers' markets have entered the "Spring Festival mode", full of strong New Year flavor, and many residents have begun to buy New Year goods. However, in the context of the "local New Year" of epidemic prevention and control, how to ensure the supply of vegetable substances and rich categories and ensure price stability has become the key to ensuring people's livelihood. On February 8, the digital application platform created by Jingdong Technology Group- "Vegetables into Beijing And Provincial Docking Platform" was praised by CCTV's "News Network" for improving the efficiency of vegetable supply and demand with technical efficiency.
It is understood that the transportation of some vegetables into Beijing has been blocked, and the prices of individual varieties of vegetables have risen, which is largely due to the lack of smooth information, resulting in low vegetable matching efficiency. Jingdong Technology Group combined its own technical advantages in the industrial supply chain, and actively joined the local New Year action to protect the people's livelihood, and used technology to help people's livelihood security and industrial development.
In order to ensure the safety and smooth flow of vegetables and other daily necessities, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the Municipal Development and Reform Commission commissioned Jingdong Technology Group to develop the "Vegetable Into Beijing Sub-Province Docking Platform", which was quickly launched on January 16 to help vegetable food supply enterprises in foreign ports and business enterprises such as Beijing's supermarket markets to quickly and conveniently connect and match supply and demand for vegetables and other daily necessities. In addition to the outdoor local vegetable merchants in Beijing, more vegetable merchants in southern provinces can publish purchase or supply messages on the platform as long as they complete the registration review.
Thanks to the technical support of Jingdong Technology, the "Vegetables into Beijing Sub-Province Docking Platform" can conveniently announce the average wholesale prices of 25 kinds of vegetables in 7 major wholesale markets such as Xinfadi, Great Ocean Road and Yuegezhuang in Beijing on the same day, and the average retail prices of 31 kinds of vegetables in 8 chain supermarket groups such as Jingkelong, Supermarket Fa and Wumart.
Zhao Ying, vice president of the digital city cluster of Jingdong Technology Group, said, "(At both ends of vegetable supply and demand,) it may have been layers of paper filling, summarizing, and analyzing, which may have passed in a few days, but now we can get the data in a very timely manner through the online system, which is much faster than before." Now we are also trying to make a future forecast, feedback to our suppliers, let them make reserves in advance. ”
"Local New Year" is the special background of this year, how to quickly develop the "vegetable into Beijing sub-province docking platform" in a short period of time and land, in fact, is inseparable from the long-term accumulation of Jingdong Technology Group in the underlying technical capabilities. It has leading technical strength in the fields of big data, cloud computing, mobile Internet, etc., and has deep insight into the supply chain, and has rich experience in industrial digital technology. In particular, it is worth mentioning that it has also been verified in different scenarios such as retail, logistics, and health, which can ensure the rapid output of technology and solutions.
In view of the value of the "vegetable docking platform into Beijing and provinces" to protect people's livelihood, Wang Yan, a second-level inspector of the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, introduced in a popular way, "The platform should update the wholesale prices of 25 kinds of vegetables in the main wholesale market every day." For example, on January 17, a supplier in Henan released 20 tons of Chinese cabbage, the price is 8 corners, and the wholesale price in Beijing on the same day is 1 piece of 2, the demand side feels that the price is appropriate, you can contact this supplier. ”
It is understood that since the platform was restarted on January 16, the cumulative number of released vegetables can be supplied is 14,400 tons, and the eggs are about 1,000 tons, which has played an important role in enriching the supply of vegetables in Beijing.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the supply and demand docking of vegetables themselves, in terms of the convenience of the vehicle process of transporting vegetable materials into Beijing, Jingdong Technology Group also helped the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the Municipal Development and Reform Commission to launch the "Vehicle Entry Reporting System", which opened a "green channel" for foreign supply vehicles that supply ingredients in the city's supermarket community system to enter Beijing. After the supplier vehicle submits the identity and epidemic prevention information, the system will automatically push the application vehicle into Beijing to the relevant departments such as the high-speed bayonet in Beijing, providing convenience in terms of passage and nucleic acid testing, so as to ensure the operational safety of the supply chain.
In view of the inconveniences of transporting vegetable materials in the process of entering Beijing, Liu Xuedong, manager of the Double Elm Store of Beijing Supermarket, has a deep feeling: "Vegetables are commodities, once they are changed, they will definitely produce losses, the loss ratio is about 3% to 5%, and the vehicle reporting system into Beijing can help merchants reduce this part of the loss, so as to benefit the people." "For example, shandong vegetables originally took 13-14 hours to get to Beijing, but now it only takes 7 hours. It is understood that in terms of cost reduction and efficiency, this green channel has also helped supermarkets to save more than 5% in the loss of goods in double elms stores, which has also reduced labor costs.
Thanks to the "vehicle entry into Beijing reporting system", the time for vegetables to enter Beijing has been greatly shortened, and the situation that needs to change cars in the middle due to epidemic prevention and control restrictions can also be avoided as much as possible, which not only makes the vegetables on the public's table fresher, but also helps to reduce costs and stabilize vegetable prices.
The "Vegetables into Beijing Sub-Province Docking Platform" of the "News Network" is just a microcosm of Jingdong Technology Group's use of technology to help industrial digitalization and serve people's livelihood. Only around the "local New Year" scene of this year's Spring Festival, Jingdong Technology also cooperated with Fenghe Commune in Changziying Town, Beijing, to develop the "Fenghe Canteen" App and mini programs to accurately match the needs of farmers and community residents at both ends of production and marketing, realize more worry-free purchase under the epidemic, and increase the income of strawberry growers by nearly 50%; work with Tianjin Hexi District to carry out the construction of a management system of "one library, one network and one platform" for intelligent old-age care, and build a database for the elderly population, a pension service network and a pension service platform. Let science and technology enter the home for the elderly, so that children in the field are more assured of the health and safety of their elderly parents...
In the future, Jingdong Technology Group will continue to lead with science and technology to help cities and industries upgrade intelligently, improve the smart operation of cities and the convenient lives of the people.
