What should I do when the loss and cost of fresh ingredients in distribution are difficult to calculate?

The long-standing pain point of fresh food distribution, whether it is a chain fresh food store or a large supermarket, is difficult to calculate the loss and cost clearly. Briefly say my thoughts, first of all, I want to give a chestnut:

Boss He has been selling pork in the vegetable market for several years. In addition to his own retail business, he also provides distribution services to several large supermarkets. Great efforts have been made in the collection, weighing and delivery of orders. He said that fresh products have the situation of "A enters and B exits". For example, a whole piece of pork needs to be divided into different parts, such as tenderloin, front shoulder, back shoulder and pork belly. The prices of different parts are not the same, or even very different, which makes it difficult to accurately calculate profits.

Boss He's personal case is just a problem that most traditional wholesalers will encounter. In the distribution of agricultural and sideline products, almost all sales are carried out according to orders, because unlike retail, customers wait for orders in advance to buy them. Distribution services are all prepared according to orders, so efficient and accurate order management is very important. It is the first and most important link in the whole work.

Then, as a traditional fresh wholesaler, the "pain" is not only to make a data analysis of daily order statistics, procurement planning, delivery invoicing, sorting and distribution, but also to bear the risk of fresh loss during transportation. Aiming at this series of complex work, it is difficult to complete it with Excel tools only by hand. So, how to cut losses fundamentally? Improve work efficiency? .

If traditional food wholesalers want to standardize, they must rely on computer software management, make full use of the advantages of computer informationization and the Internet, improve efficiency and reflect the application value of the Internet. At present, efficient and feasible management can consider placing orders online, and the system will summarize and plan the procurement, distribution and distribution. At this time, you need to choose a good fresh delivery software.

Of course, some traditional food distributors will ask, is it really so magical to use the fresh food system? Isn't it a tool? Isn't it necessary to rely on business accumulation and business ability to do this? Well, the preservation system is really just a tool in a sense, but do you know the difference between using system tools and traditional offline operations?

Traditional order collection will arrange a person to take orders, take notes on telephone orders and collect short messages, then record all orders in excel, and then use excel to integrate customer orders into purchase orders, and then conduct various inspections to prevent the purchase quantity from being wrong.

The traditional sorting method is to sort and weigh according to the items and quantity on each sheet, and make a check mark after each sheet is picked. For large enterprises, every order collected is sorted first, and then entered into the system according to the details on the order. Some enterprises that don't use the system will first make a fixed sorting list template, print it out on A4 paper and distribute it to all sorters.

Under the same scale, the cost of distributors using this system is lower than that of traditional distributors. According to the above method, it takes only half an hour to process the orders of 20 customers, from receipt to sorting to inspection. The release of the new version of coronary artery food distribution software is not only suitable for vegetable distribution, but also suitable for food distribution industries such as fruit distribution, meat, grain and oil, fresh, frozen dry goods and agricultural products. It not only has the function of purchase order, but also can link the whole background management system to realize the whole process of computer recording, transmission, analysis and decision support of enterprise management information.

Compared with the traditional order taking, we can use the wheat-watching fresh-keeping system to establish WeChat orders in WeChat Mall, and the background system can automatically generate orders and support EXCEL format to upload orders. In addition, it is equipped with an intelligent procurement system, which automatically summarizes by supplier. If all customers place orders on WeChat, then the daily orders are completed by customers themselves without any manual participation. You can split and integrate the order, and it is instantaneous. At the same time, wheat label sorting, access to electronic scales, real-time transmission of weight data printing, introduction of label system, scanning code gun and other operation modes. To a certain extent, the sorting assembly line will be introduced to minimize labor costs, and sorting can be carried out day and night without making mistakes, greatly simplifying the process.

Simply explain the difference from two business links. Companies that use Internet technology can support more scale and customer groups, use fresh delivery software, and have the same cost. The improvement of efficiency will greatly reduce the cost, so that fresh management is no longer a "pain".
