Is it so easy for traditional manufacturing enterprises to transform cross-border e-commerce

Can traditional manufacturing enterprises and sales enterprises transform cross-border e-commerce to divide this big cake? Where are the difficulties and pain points of transformation? Every transformation can not be changed at will, not only the change of channels, but also the design of operational ideas and the change of personnel structure. Let's take a closer look.

Team transformation

Traditional manufacturing enterprises basically lack online retail experience. The strategic transformation is first faced with team transformation, and it is necessary to form a cross-border e-commerce team.

Inventory risk

The traditional way of manufacturing enterprises is to process orders and materials without excessive inventory backlog. After the transformation of cross-border e-commerce, orders are sporadic and do not have scale, but enterprises are required to deliver goods in time within two days after receiving orders. Here comes the question again:

The first is inventory risk. After the transformation of cross-border e-commerce, it is necessary to maintain a certain inventory for sale. The risk of inventory lies in the backlog of products and funds when it is slow-moving, and the shortage of inventory when it is best-selling, which affects performance income, shipment, customer experience and even leads to limited or even closed stores.

Changes in business philosophy and business model

Increase production capacity, improve quality control ability and improve manufacturing equipment. I can take any order you come. This is the development road of general manufacturing enterprises.

I have been engaged in foreign trade for many years, and summed up a little point: B2B manufacturing enterprises play with products and quality, while B2C retail enterprises play with market and operation. Then, if manufacturing enterprises want to transform well, they must understand the market and understand the operation.
