Mr. Zhai opened the door of the office, locked the door by the opposite hand, and threw his briefcase to the big shift. The whole man fell into the big chair and kept rubbing his brow with his hands, one face of frustration and distress. The United Arab Emirates headquarters had insufficient knowledge of the Chinese market, resulting in a long approval time and the list was stolen by other companies. During an accidental meeting, I heard my friends talking about SaaS (software as a service). So Mr. Zhai found Kingdee Youshang, a domestic Saas-based brand company. After purchasing related services, the situation has been completely improved.
Cross-country communication barriers are inevitable when tickets are lost
Mr. Zhai is the manager of Derby Technology Co., Ltd. in China. headquartered in UAE, the company is engaged in cross-border business. Derby is mainly engaged in the export of mobile phone business. With the arrival of the economic crisis, the original well-developed company business is now facing a severe test. Bad Market News constantly spread, increasing pressure on Mr Zhai. However, all this has not led Mr. Zhai to retreat, and he is still actively exploring his business every day.
God is indeed fair, and the effort is always rewarding. After continuous efforts, he finally waited for a large order. If this order was made, it can not only change the current situation of the company, but also play a major role in future development.
Because the ticket requires a large amount of capital investment, the multinational branch cannot allocate it on its own. Mr. Zhai only reported to the headquarters by phone, fax, or email, hoping to receive support from the headquarters.
This sudden financial storm has put the global economy in the dark. In order to survive the economic crisis, Derby's UAE headquarters controlled the company's development scale and increasingly strict approval for the company's business development and capital use. In the end, the headquarters did not have enough knowledge about the China branch market, resulting in a long approval time. The ticket was stolen by other companies.
During the economic crisis, companies engaged in transnational business are facing greater risks than general companies. Because different regions are affected by different economic crises, the development of transnational branches is controlled by the headquarters, and the Headquarters cannot grasp the operation of transnational branches in a timely manner, the lack of timely decision-making on the response measures made by multinational branches based on local conditions makes it possible for multinational branches to miss the best opportunity for development. This is unavoidable for the heads of most multinational branches. This time I lost a large ticket, and it was inevitable.
In frustration, education requires efficient management.
In fact, for a long time, Mr. Zhai was not satisfied with the company's business management problems. The communication between the Chinese division of Derby and its headquarters has been conducted by telephone, fax, email, and other means, as the business volume increases, this communication method is obviously unable to meet the demand. Often, a phone call is over, and the feedback from the Headquarters cannot be received in a timely manner, resulting in service delay. At the same time, this communication technique makes it impossible for the headquarters to fully grasp the situation of China's branches, and it is impossible to make accurate judgments based on the specific situation of the region where the China branch is located when making decisions.
In addition, Derby has been using Excel for data statistics and analysis. This kind of work method has a large business volume and is prone to errors. Especially when the business is heavy, it is often impossible to complete the input and statistics in a timely manner, which greatly affects the work efficiency.
Mr Zhai understands the principle that to develop a company, the current situation must be changed. Transnational and cross-regional management must find a more convenient and convenient way to manage the company, it is best to achieve Information Synchronization management. As a result, Mr. Zhai began to look for people to consult and understand.
The online management service makes him feel like spring is coming.
At an accidental meeting, I heard my friends talking about SAAS. At first, I thought they were talking about the SARS virus. Later I realized that it was an internet-based software product. Listen, Mr Zhai found that this product may be helpful for solving the company's problems. After returning home, he searched the internet and finally found Kingdee Youshang (www.youshang.com), an early Saas-branded enterprise in China. This is a website dedicated to providing online management services.
Kingdee Youshang network provides online management services for small and medium-sized enterprises. enterprises can manage accounting, invoicing, customer management, and ordering online through Youshang network. Mr Zhai is excited by this discovery because these tools are used online, whether in China, in the UAE, or anywhere in the world, and can be used wherever there is a network. The Alibaba Cloud headquarters no longer needs to wait for data reports from Chinese branches, so that they can directly view the operation of Chinese branches through the network, greatly facilitating communication between multinational branches and headquarters, the Headquarters can also make accurate and effective decisions in a timely and accurate manner based on the operating conditions of multinational branches. This is what Mr. Zhai is in urgent need.
After a period of trial, Mr. Zhai found that these online management tools are very simple, easy to learn and use. In particular, online invoicing can easily integrate purchase, sale, inventory, and payable management to help enterprises deal with daily business management matters and costs, gross profit accounting, and coordinate the business flow process of the purchase and sale orders, what's more rare is low costs. Mr. Zhai decided to use these tools to manage the company's business.
If the trial period is not full, he will not hesitate to purchase the online purchase/sale service for 6 users of Kingdee Youshang. Currently, the UAE headquarters and Shenzhen Branch use three users each: one system administrator user in the Shenzhen Branch, two purchasers, one system administrator user in the UAE headquarters, and two salesman users, collaborative operations are highly efficient, and orders will no longer be lost due to communication issues.
The 21st century is the Internet century. enterprise operation and management are increasingly inseparable from the Internet. The Internet has changed the form of enterprise operation and management, bringing great changes to enterprise operation and management. The most direct effect of this change is that it makes business operation and management independent of borders and distance, and completely solves the helplessness in the communication process.
