With the development and application of information technology, the process from enterprise informatization to the Internet can be divided into the following three stages:
The first stage 1985-2005 Enterprise Information Era
The second stage 2000-2020 consumer Internet era
The third stage 2015-2035 industrial Internet era
my country's social development has entered the second half of the industrial Internet era. The consumer Internet mainly solves the convenience and efficiency of residents' consumption, while the industrial Internet focuses on the operating costs and transaction efficiency of the vertical industrial chain, which is also an important connotation of the efficiency of the "medium" economy.
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's economy has achieved rapid development, and its GDP ranks second in the world. However, my country’s economy is still in the initial stage of a market economy dominated by “distribution methods”. The main feature is that the product manufacturing industry distributes and sells products through authorized agents, which is reflected in various professional markets across the country, such as food city, clothing city, building material city, Agents of various products such as automobile industry distribution city, furniture city, electromechanical city, flowers and so on gather in these professional markets for commodity distribution, and sell them to thousands of households through the purchase and preparation of various community service stores or professional service providers. Therefore, there are various online shopping malls in China, such as "Taobao Mall", "Tmall Mall", "Jingdong Mall", and "Pinduoduo".
However, in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, with the upgrading of business models from the "distribution model" to the "chain model", the commodity circulation links of various industries have basically given way to many chain supply chain platform companies. Therefore, in China, it is impossible for a large number of distributors to sell products through online malls. For example, there are 5 pharmaceutical chain companies, 3 furniture chain companies and 4 auto repair parts chain companies in the United States.
Under the guidance of the distribution model, in various vertical industries, the circulation links are chaotic. Many distributors have formed a multi-level distribution structure. Product inventories are scattered in the warehouses of thousands of distributors and retailers. This not only causes a large number of products to be unsalable, but also And this has also led to high costs and delivery complexity in the logistics industry. The low barriers to entry in the circulation link make the product manufacturing industry seem to have market sales opportunities, resulting in a large number of manufacturing industries, small scale, regional dispersion (such as "industrial clusters" formed in some regions), unable to exert the efficiency of large-scale production, and lack of innovation. Ability to fund. In addition, manual transactions between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain such as telephones, faxes, emails, and corporate websites have also led to insufficient information exchange and low efficiency of the transaction process.
Only by establishing a digital industry supply chain cloud platform, cleaning up redundant transaction links in the industry chain, and realizing the large integration of circulation links, can one or more supply chain cloud platforms (that is, the integration of sales channels) be finally formed, and through the realization of the supply chain Online and digital transactions between transaction subjects, as well as the integration of online transaction data and the internal management of enterprises, significantly reduce the operating costs of the industrial supply chain and improve the transaction efficiency of the industrial supply chain. Finally, through the accumulated transaction big data, artificial intelligence is formed to optimize the activities of various transaction entities in the industrial chain, so as to realize the overall optimization of the operating cost and efficiency of the industrial supply chain.
