Framework and concept of e-commerce Kit

E-commerce kit is a management software based on the ERPII concept in the e-commerce era. It mainly emphasizes the collaborative business capability of enterprises in the entire industrial chain and is based on logistics, the integration of logistics, information flow, capital flow, and business flow is a distinctive feature of e-commerce suites. At present, the mainstream E-Commerce sets are represented by oracle11i in foreign countries, and brocade's open9000 in China.
This article uses mainstream e-commerce kits at home and abroad as an example to describe the framework and design concept of e-commerce kits.

I. Product framework

1. What is e-commerce kit?

E-commerce kits are activities designed to enhance the competitive advantage of the entire value chain and evaluate various business processes using activity management technologies to eliminate duplicates (I .e. no value-added). They emphasize internal collaboration and external collaboration; based on logistics management, the function covers ERP, CRM, SCM, DRP and other enterprise information applications, and supports collaborative commerce between enterprises. Through standardized Consulting, implementation, and services, enterprises can quickly deploy their industry routing solutions in stages. based on open and integrated platforms, it can flexibly meet the individual needs of users and the changing requirements of enterprise businesses.
For Chinese enterprises that need management innovation, E-Business kit is not only a software product, but introduces an advanced management idea for enterprises and introduces a set of mature management modes, management methods and means.

2. E-commerce kit Application Framework

E-commerce kit sets up a strategic framework for enterprise informatization. Under the guidance of this framework, enterprises can quickly build an information platform based on their actual needs, at the same time, it can be flexibly, dynamically, and effectively managed, and the electronic business transaction processing capability can be achieved, so that enterprises can continue to maintain the IT investment competitiveness, create your own unique competitive advantages with professional and close-fitting services. In this flexible and flexible framework, e-commerce kit suppliers provide specific application solutions in the supply market, consumer market, capital market, and knowledge market, it reflects the application at different levels, such as operation layer, management layer, and decision layer, and truly realizes the integration of logistics, capital flow, information flow, and business flow. It realizes integrated management of enterprises, and makes all links of Enterprise Production, Supply, sales, people, finance, and things a closely linked organic whole, it also guarantees the further implementation of collaborative commerce at the industrial chain level.
Main Application Framework features of E-commerce kit:

◆ Fully integrated and fully functional application solutions
◆ Elastic, flexible, and scalable
◆ Open system, integrating third-party applications
◆ Oriented to e-commerce and industry-level collaborative commerce based on the Value Chain
◆ Standardized services and quick implementation

Ii. Design Philosophy

The core concepts of E-commerce kit include: technical platform, function suite, and application co-assimilation.

Taking Boke e-commerce kit open9000 as an example, the product concept is described as follows:

1. Technology platformization

Architecture platform technology is a trend in enterprise-level application software development technology. brocade's open9000 platform is based on software component technology, fully integrated and open system architecture (component application framework) of "General object-oriented kernel + client interface" is currently the leading technology and the largest large-scale enterprise management platform in China. Component application framework, which is usually applicable to specific application fields. It indicates the software architecture required for Component Reuse and describes how components are assembled into application systems and how they interact with each other, the framework not only reflects the common functions and basic support services in the application field, but also represents a larger and higher level of design reuse mode. In addition, it is flexible and scalable, allows customers to access components of specific functions on variable insertion points based on specific application needs for customization. "General object-oriented kernel" is a component warehouse in a group-based structure for data processing. It contains various basic business content and business logic rules in enterprise management. Based on the kernel, different components are extracted and combined based on the characteristics and requirements of enterprises in different industries.

Boke e-commerce kit is based on this software engineering idea, implemented based on this platform technology, and quickly incubated a variety of industry version solutions.

Advantages of platform technology:

◆ Enterprises can conveniently, quickly, and smoothly add new functions. New components can work reliably together with original components.

◆ It can be reconfigured flexibly and dynamically. Replacing a component with a new version without considering adaptation to other components.

◆ Allow different software development suppliers to provide software for a given task. Enterprises are free to choose products when implementing their solutions.

◆ Enterprises can easily and flexibly integrate and use components specially designed for enterprises with the entire system to meet special requirements of enterprises.

◆ Component-based solutions provide convenience for further convenient extension of system functions, because the interfaces of custom components can also be used by special components of users.
2. Feature bundle

For ERP software, integration is the first. Due to the late start of management software in China and lack of foresight in product development planning, the integration of different products was not taken into account, and the acquisition method was used to increase functions, as a result, the user forms an isolated information islands during use, and cannot play the role of information integration. At the same time, users may have to maintain the same basic data separately, and the data needs to be input repeatedly, which leads to ineffective labor. In addition, in order to obtain the desired data, I had to do a lot of secondary development work, which not only increases the difficulty of project implementation, but also greatly exceeds the budget. These have all set a trap for enterprise informatization.
Boke is the first software vendor in China to advocate the concept of suites. Boke e-commerce kit fully integrates large enterprise applications based on the Boke open9000 platform, its eleven major functional components cover the company's front-end and back-end office systems. Different functional modules can be interconnected and provide seamless real-time business intelligence.

3. Application co-assimilation

Enterprise Operation Efficiency is increasingly dependent on the collaboration between different departments and different applications, rather than the level of a single department or application. Due to the emergence of e-commerce, people began to shift from focusing solely on the transaction node to focusing on the entire business process, which will expand collaboration between enterprises in the entire supply chain. Within an enterprise, there are business collaboration among various departments, collaboration between different business indicators and objectives, and collaboration between various resource constraints. For example, collaborative production management can optimize Production Scheduling Based on existing resources such as manpower, material resources, and equipment capabilities, so as to achieve on-schedule delivery. Business Collaboration among enterprises becomes more important and more difficult to implement. In the Supply Chain, enterprises usually need to have three levels of plans to meet the needs of customers and the market: Demand Plan, supply plan, and meet the demand plan, implement these three plans to match demand and supply, and provide support at the corresponding implementation level.
Only by collaboration between different levels and different businesses can enterprises improve their product and service innovation capabilities, optimize internal business processes, and rationally allocate resources in the enterprise and supply chain, it can better achieve parallel operation of enterprises and improve the overall rapid response capability of enterprises and supply chains.
