We all know this truth: purchasing is a strategic link for a business. Practice has further proven that it is difficult to achieve a percentage point of profit margin in the sales环节, but relatively easier in the purchasing环节 with larger profit space. Therefore, the level of procurement and supply chain management can become the "cradle" of corporate profits, or it can also become the "graveyard" of corporate profits. After all, placing orders online is both convenient and fast. And these types of purchasers almost cover all industries in society, including clothing, instrumentation, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc., online procurement can be said to be omnipresent.
In recent years, we have seen such information on the internet: a company in Jinan, Shandong saves 8 million yuan annually through online procurement; a company in Anhui saves 5 million yuan annually through online procurement... However, from this, we can discover that companies' realization of online procurement as a new model has gradually matured. Some predict that in the next 10 years, one third of international trade will be conducted through the Internet. Companies like Ford and Daimler in the U.S. conduct all their annual $250 billion worth of parts procurement online. Domestic famous enterprises such as Haier, China National Petroleum Corporation, Sinopec, etc., are implementing online procurement and have achieved significant economic benefits. Experts indicate that companies conducting online procurement can effectively reduce costs.
Compared to traditional enterprise product procurement of previous years, today's enterprises tend to directly procure on specialized e-commerce platforms. Where there is demand, there is market, thus giving rise to a large number of comprehensive, professional, authoritative supply marketing platforms. The www.anteyb.com Meiante Instrument Network under Jinhu Meian Te Automation Instrument Co., Ltd. has done exceptionally well, establishing a unique brand of high-quality instruments and meters in the industry through service and quality. The reason lies in the fact that the instrument and meter products provided by the Meiante Instrument Network satisfy the needs of enterprise purchasers who want to procure their desired products in the shortest time possible.
Zhang Jianxiang, head of the Meiante Instrument Network Sales Center, said, "In traditional enterprise procurement, due to human factors, procurement costs increase, product quality decreases, and illegal interest relationships often lead to settling for less, choosing expensive over cheap, and preferring distant sources. These issues make the procurement process difficult to standardize, causing headaches for both supply and demand sides. The reason why supply and demand sides are often influenced by intermediate links is mainly due to insufficiently rapid, comprehensive, real, and transparent information."
A responsible person from a company that frequently procures from the Meiante Instrument Network said, "Previously, when the company was selecting products, the most troublesome obstacle was not having timely information. Good products would sell out quickly, leading to difficulties in procuring the needed products. Since procuring from the Meiante Instrument Network, these obstacles have been resolved. We no longer need to run around, and can understand the latest product releases and prices within the shortest time, place orders quickly, and receive the products promptly."
To date, very few instrument and meter manufacturers have established online sales platforms. The success of the Meiante Instrument Network has informed some peers that sticking to old ways won't work, innovation is the key! At the same time, it must be firmly believed that technology creates value, and quality builds brilliance!
