Chemical supply chain integration into cloud era

In recent years, technological inventions have brought profound changes to the world. In 1925, televisions were available, computers in 1939, integrated circuits in 1958, optical fibers in 1960, Internet in 1969, and mobile in 1973. Telephone, PC in 1978, WWW network in 1991, 3G standard in 2000. From the PC invention to the popularity of Internet broadband, mobile networks have entered our lives. It only takes more than 30 years - online has become a basic way of life.

Important changes brought about by the development of the Internet The development of the Internet has brought about major changes. On the one hand, with the rapid growth of the Internet-related market, by the end of August 2010, the global Internet terminal has exceeded 5 billion units; in 2010, the global Internet users exceeded 2 billion. -- Nearly one third of the world's population use the Internet; in 2010, the global B2B e-commerce market reached US$26 trillion, and the Chinese market reached 4.2 trillion ***, and maintained a growth rate of more than 30%. On the other hand, the performance related to the Internet has increased and the cost has decreased. Since 1982, CPU performance has increased by 3,500 times, memory prices have fallen by 45,000 times, and hard disk prices have fallen by 3.6 million times. The network transmission capacity has increased 1,000 times in 10 years.

Concepts, Values ​​and Methods of Supply Chain Integration Platform The Internet has entered a period of great integration of resources: the arrival of the cloud era, cloud computing will connect all resources, form a variety of online services, and can be accessed at any time, on demand. This new cloud service is different from the information service of the past, mainly reflected in the different results of the service, different conveniences, and changes in the payment model at the same time.

At present, there are many challenges in the chemical supply chain. First, globalization is unavoidable. We are “commercialized”, that is, we are competing with suppliers and service providers all over the world. Second, the refinement of the production division leads to a large number of intermediate transactions. That is, the advent of the integration of transactions, the need for stronger supply chain resources and management capabilities; Finally, the Internet has broken the time and geographical constraints, the international communication becomes simple, a day becomes 72 hours.

The future competition is not the competition between enterprises and enterprises, but the competition between supply chains. The supply chain integration platform is a great business tool born in the cloud era. Without integration, we will face shortage of resources and it is difficult to optimize; Many, not synergies; many links, the risk is difficult to control these issues, and bring a huge waste.

The chemical industry cloud platform provides the final service formed by virtual plus real resources instead of getting a piece of information. Product manufacturers, purchasers, or logistics and financial service providers can all work together for a win-win situation. The platform has strict qualification control for participants and guarantees good credit for participants.

Win-win and share, and reduce the total cost for customers, share the benefits with customers, in its chemical industry cloud service platform, through procurement, distribution outsourcing, overall logistics solutions, supply chain financial services to reduce total cost for customers, through integration Resources are aggregated into zeros to reduce overall costs; by gathering orders and stabilizing revenues, customers are profitable in the long term; standardized tools are provided to increase efficiency and ultimately achieve win-win results.
