With a variety of comprehensive and efficient solutions, Suxing Intelligence precisely meets the diverse needs of customers, facilitating the industry's transformation and upgrading.
Challenges Faced
Operational Pressure Due to High Inventory
Apparel and footwear enterprises have long faced the dual challenges of high logistics costs and warehouse operating costs. According to statistics, China's warehousing expenses amounted to RMB 5.0 trillion in 2019, accounting for 34% of total logistics costs. Therefore, how to effectively reduce warehousing operational costs and enhance warehouse turnover efficiency and accuracy has become a core issue in current enterprise management.
Insufficient Informatization and Automation Levels in Warehouses, Increasing Management Difficulty
Currently, the warehousing production lines of apparel and footwear enterprises still heavily rely on traditional manual methods, with the application rate of automated stereoscopic warehouses being only 3.2%. Issues such as the intensifying trend of population aging, increased difficulty in recruiting personnel, and fluctuating inbound and outbound quantities have become increasingly prominent. Warehouses managed solely by manual labor have struggled to meet the complex and ever-changing market demands.
Complexity of Warehouse Management Models and Automation Application Scenarios
With the continuous increase in the penetration rate of apparel and footwear e-commerce, which has reached 35%, profound changes have occurred in the supply models of apparel and footwear. This has placed higher demands on the efficiency of traditional warehouse management. For instance, the increase in e-commerce returns has brought tremendous pressure on reverse logistics. The elevation of personalized demands necessitates faster inbound and outbound efficiency. The proliferation of SKUs has further intensified the difficulty of handling reverse logistics.
