Breaking through pain points in the supply chain of shoe and clothing factories, Shuntong ERP helps you operate efficiently

In the footwear and apparel industry, bosses are worried about supply chain issues. There are frequent occurrences of orders with raw materials missing and inventory searching like searching for needles in a haystack. I use more down-to-earth language to explain the pain points and solutions, enhancing the sense of immersion. ​

1、 It is urgent to do a good job in the supply chain management of shoe and clothing factories

How difficult is it to develop our footwear and apparel industry? New updates are faster than flipping through books, orders are small and broken, sizes and colors are countless, managing the supply chain is like walking a tightrope! But streamlining the supply chain has many benefits. ​

Let's talk about saving money first. Many small and medium-sized factories lose 100000 to 500000 yuan in a year due to inventory backlog. If we can manage the supply chain well, the inventory turnover speed can be increased by more than 30%, and the money on the goods can be retrieved earlier for turnover. Speaking of efficiency, the supply chain has been connected, and the entire process from buying raw materials to production and shipping has been streamlined. Delivery time can be shortened by 20% -40%, and there is no longer a fear of losing customers due to slow delivery. Fast fashion is so popular now, whoever can respond to the market faster and deliver on time can seize the opportunity, which is the key to enhancing competitiveness! ​

2、 How many of the four core pain points in the supply chain of shoe and clothing factories have you encountered? ​

Most of the dry shoe and clothing factories have stepped into these four big pitfalls, causing their business to become extremely difficult in minutes:

Raw material procurement is a mess: there are too many kinds of shoe materials, and the number of specifications and models of leather, cloth, sole, shoelace, etc. can't be counted. When purchasing, it is common to make mistakes or omissions, or to buy too much and occupy funds. Sometimes when we have to start work, we realize there is a shortage of materials, and the production line can only stop working and wait. ​

The production schedule cannot be grasped at all: the orders are scattered, there are still many customization requirements, and the production line is often busy and idle. The workshop doesn't know what to produce the next batch, and the boss can't see the real-time progress. If there are any changes in the order or adjustments to the process, the message will be slow to spread, and in the end, we will have to rework in large quantities. ​

Inventory management relies entirely on "luck": finished shoes are piled up in the warehouse by style, size, and color, and when searching for goods, it's like spinning in a maze. Inventory data relies entirely on manual recording, with a high error rate. A single inventory count can be exhausting, and there are often discrepancies between accounts and reality. The result is that the hot selling items are sold out, and there are mountains of unsold goods. ​

The logistics coordination is extremely poor: there are often errors or omissions in shipping, and customer complaints continue. I don't have access to the logistics company's information, so I don't know where the goods have been sent. If there are any lost or delayed items, it can be very difficult to handle, and the brand reputation will be ruined. ​

Digital warehousing, no longer blindly searching for goods: assign a unique code to each shoe and each raw material, scan the code to enter and exit the warehouse, and update inventory data in real-time with an accuracy rate of up to 99.8%. The system can also manage inventory by style, size, and sales popularity, stock up on popular items in advance, issue timely warnings for unsold items, increase warehouse space utilization by 40%, and reduce inventory time by half! ​

The logistics process is fully traceable, and there is no need to worry about after-sales service: when shipping, the system automatically generates a shipping note, scans the code to check the goods, and is no longer afraid of sending the wrong or missing items. It can also connect with mainstream logistics platforms, where customers and factories can check where the goods have gone at any time, and logistics problems can be quickly solved, resulting in a sharp increase in customer satisfaction! ​
