Tianfu Tea: Full Digitalization from Production to Sales Terminal

 

Customer Overview

 

Tianfu is a tea professional company founded by Mr. Li Ruihe, the world tea king, in mainland China in 1993. Tianfu Mingcha, which has been intensively cultivated for dozens of years in mainland China, mainly deals in traditional Chinese tea products, integrates China's tea resources and develops more than 1,800 kinds of Tianfu series products. It has become an all-round tea brand integrating tea research and development, production, processing and sales to education, tourism, culture, medical treatment and health preservation. For many years in a row, Tianfu was selected by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as the first place in the brand power index of China's tea chain stores, with a revenue of 1.713 billion yuan in 2020.

With the continuous expansion of Tianfu Group's business territory, the Group also attaches great importance to digital transformation investment, building an information-based core platform, from the financial business integration of the operation and control system, combining digital information with traditional industries, to contribute to the company's core competitive advantage. In the face of the new economy and new models, we will create value for users as the goal, use data to drive business model innovation, and promote Chinese tea culture.

However, on the road of transformation, the factory sales headquarters/branch stores have a long business chain, requiring timely information transmission, accurate financial accounting and smooth commodity circulation. Tea and tea food need to meet the requirements of laws and regulations on traceability of raw materials, production and circulation and food safety supervision. At this stage, there is no overall unified operation and control platform for each business segment, which poses new challenges for the Group to strengthen vertical business control and horizontal business collaboration.

 

Business challenges

 

As a leading enterprise in the tea industry, Tianfu's business sector mainly covers the tea distribution chain stores: the country is divided into 13 regions, including more than 1300 "Tianfu Mingcha" chain stores, operating and expanding management; Expressway service area development and tourism business group: mainly expressway service area, operating restaurants, tea gardens, stone carving gardens, gas stations and museums; Food production business group: engaged in tea production and processing; Tea production business group: engaged in tea production and processing, etc.

 

Data dispersion, business efficiency to be improved

 

Due to historical reasons, in the entire Tianfu information system, the factory headquarters used to use self-developed systems to account, manage procurement, production, sales, and financial operations. The Regional Management Service uses data flow software (self-developed) for financial operations. Stores use POS systems (self-developed) and data flow systems to manage marketing operations. The data account sets from factories to sales companies to terminal stores are different. Business personnel need to enter different account sets to process different data in data processing. In order to meet the development of Tianfu Group, it is necessary to establish an all-round group-level integrated information platform integrating company strategy, corporate governance, organizational structure, management culture, etc.

 

Business changes, distribution efficiency to be improved

 

The distribution and supply of stores and general warehouses lack the support of an integrated information platform, which cannot meet the online and collaborative requirements required for the high-speed circulation of information and commodities, and cannot intelligently handle the intricate business relationships between various products, resulting in insufficient inventory accuracy, and the relevant personnel are prone to human error problems during operation. Unable to meet the general warehouse's rapid response to store terminal demand for goods, affecting the efficiency of timely distribution.

 

Multi-level distribution control, complex price policy

 

From the factory to the distribution company, and then to the end-to-end store, the process business and accounting processing process are complicated. In order to avoid human errors, it is necessary to automatically identify the distribution path, intelligently fetch prices and generate posting documents, so as to improve the operation efficiency and balance the accounting policies, thus making the multi-party transaction scheme and multi-party price taking logic of ERP and other information systems more challenging.

 

Solution

 

The rapidly expanding market of Tianfu Mingcha needs a strong internal management system to support, increase the transparency of enterprise operation, reassure customers at the top, and worry less about business departments, so that procurement, production and sales can be carried out in a targeted manner as planned, reduce all kinds of waste in the implementation process, and improve the overall operation efficiency. Therefore, Tianfu Mingcha Group's control platform has been set up.

The overall blueprint is based on the integration of production, supply and marketing, business and financial integration, interconnection between systems, and the transformation of a decentralized system into centralized control, with digital transformation, data collection and analysis, and insight-driven as the main objectives, to provide Tianfu Mingcha with industry solutions suitable for enterprise development.

"Tianfu has been building digitalization since '97, mainly to reduce manual operations and improve work efficiency, from the early stand-alone accounting processing, to the cross-departmental networking system, to the cross-regional networking system. In 2016, Tianfu again joined hands with the Kingdee EAS system, and with the co-creation and co-construction efforts of both teams, Tianfu's digitalization has enabled collaboration among groups, factories and stores, opening up the integration of production, supply and marketing." The customer mentioned. Kingdee EAS realizes the unified entrance order from the main warehouse to the factory, and multi-factory goods can be processed on a single request form.
