Building a Comprehensive Trading Platform for the Port Industry

Background

Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (ZPMC) is a famous heavy-duty equipment manufacturer and a state-owned company listed with A and B shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The major shareholder is China Communications Construction Company Limited (CCCC), which is one of the top 500 companies in the world. ZPMC has built service, operation, and investment networks around the world to provide quick, accurate, comprehensive, and integrated lean-oriented operations, investments, and full-lifespan services.

Challenge

The lack of systematic management forced the enterprise to input lots of human labour into statistical work, resulting in poor order fulfilment timeliness, difficulties in order tracking by dealers, and other issues. The long delivery period required the elimination of data barriers with ERP and other systems during the monitoring of order fulfilment.

Approach

Integrate the supplier operation platform, trading mall, and back-end management system to build a prototype of the B2B2B platform. Eliminate the data barriers between the SAP Commerce Cloud and SAP ERP to enable the seamless integration of business data flows in both systems and implement the business workflow. Enable suppliers to manage their own closed-loop processes of product sales, product orders, order receiving, order fulfilment, invoicing, and financial verification on the platform.

Key results

Created a prototype of the B2B2B platform, which enabled the future empowerment of other enterprises to set up their own malls on the platform.

The services required by the enterprise to develop an e-commerce business (supplier operational platform, trading mall, and back-end management system) were provided.

The development speed of the offline business was effectively promoted with the informatisation of the online business, reducing costs and improving the efficiency of the enterprise.

Benefits

By building the Terminexus B2B2B trading platform and integrating supplier resources, build a business operation platform, trading mall, and Terminexus management background, reduce costs and increase efficiency, empower existing businesses, and create a comprehensive trading platform for the port industry. Build a global platform for the port machinery spare parts supply based on informatisation and IoT to create a new model for the service management of spare parts and reduce the costs of storage and logistics at ports.
