Project Background
The client is a Foshan-based tile company with complex channels—50+ retail stores covered by regional agents, plus 200+ projects (real-estate fit-outs, hotels, hospitals, government offices). Retail buys by pattern and batch, while projects are made to order.
Project quoting used to be done manually at HQ, taking 2-3 days per order—slow and often mis-priced at a loss; multiple warehouses (origin, regional-agent, on-site) made inventory hard to unify; transport damage was difficult to trace; and the accounts-receivable cycle was long.
Core Challenges
- Project quoting is complex and highly specialized; manual pricing is slow and error-prone.
- Retail store and project order logic differ, making unified management hard.
- Multiple warehouses (origin / regional-agent / on-site) make inventory hard to unify.
- Transport damage is hard to trace and the claims process is long.
- Final payments on projects come in slowly, tying up significant capital.
