Industry Overview
In the current macroeconomic environment, the home furnishing industry faces comprehensive increases in freight costs, labor costs, and raw material prices. It is urgent to reduce costs and improve efficiency through a comprehensive upgrade of the supply chain. In this process, enhancing automation, digitization, and intelligence has become an inevitable trend in industry development. To address this demand, Suxing Intelligence has meticulously designed a more comprehensive and efficient intelligent warehousing solution aimed at meeting the urgent needs of industry clients.
Industry Challenges
Lagging Logistics Technology Levels
The production and warehousing processes in the home furnishing industry are relatively low in automation and heavily reliant on manual operations. The level of logistics technology and equipment is not high, warehouse construction lacks standardization, and the degree of standardization is seriously inadequate. The application of logistics systems is relatively backward, with most enterprises still relying on Excel for information management, leading to opaque information, susceptibility to errors, and extremely limited application of logistics management systems such as WMS and TMS.
Lack of Supply Chain System Thinking
The home furnishing industry chain is lengthy and complex, and the integration of upstream and downstream resources faces significant challenges. Enterprises mostly adopt a product-centric approach, making it difficult to effectively meet consumers' personalized needs. Therefore, the supply chain system needs to be customer-centric, with strong management and control capabilities and flexible adaptability.
Outdated Logistics Operating Modes
The home furnishing logistics service chain involves multiple links such as transportation and warehousing, and its service mode is relatively backward. Traditional logistics modes are mostly arranged by dealers themselves or entrusted to social vehicles, with limited network coverage, making it difficult to achieve standardized operations and services. The development of professional third-party logistics services started late, and market potential remains to be further explored.
High Difficulty in Logistics Operations
In the field of home furnishing warehousing and logistics, the degree of informatization is low, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of warehouse and distribution operations management. Operations are challenging, and goods are susceptible to damage; management is complex, with customized goods requiring complete sets for shipment, placing higher demands on logistics timelines; cost control is difficult, and unsynchronized inventory information can easily lead to overselling, underselling, and other issues; operational efficiency is low, and situations such as misdelivery and omission are prone to occur when order volumes increase.
