As one of China's traditional pillar industries, the building materials industry is an important industry that drives the development of the national economy, accounting for about 20% of the gross national product, making great contributions to the rapid development of China's national economy. After nearly 20 years of rapid growth, the total output value of the construction industry has exceeded 24 trillion yuan in 2020, but the profit growth rate has declined since 2012 and fell to about 6% in 2020, and the industry's profit margin has remained at a level of around 3.5% in the past 10 years.
As one of China's traditional pillar industries, the building materials industry is an important industry that drives the development of the national economy, accounting for about 20% of the gross national product, making great contributions to the rapid development of China's national economy. After nearly 20 years of rapid growth, the total output value of the construction industry has exceeded 24 trillion yuan in 2020, but the profit growth rate has declined since 2012 and fell to about 6% in 2020, and the industry's profit margin has remained at a level of around 3.5% in the past 10 years. And because most of the construction materials enterprises are still using traditional procurement methods, some prominent problems accumulated by the traditional model of the industry for a long time still exist, mainly in the following aspects:
1. The level of information integration is low, and the collaboration link is not smooth
The history of the construction industry using information system isnot short, it can be said that from the emergence of information system, from large construction enterprises to small and medium-sized construction enterprises, have begun to popularize information software system, from finance, taxation, personnel to ERP, generalized information system software in the building materials industry popularity is still very high. However, the extensive industrial model and management system in the past led to insufficient attention to information flow in the building materials industry, only paying attention to single information storage and display, and lacking liquidity considerations and applications.
2. The purchase price is not transparent and the bargaining power is weak
The building materials industry often has a large number of procurement needs, in the procurement process must control the cost elements, but due to the asymmetry of supply and demand information exchange, the purchase price is completely opaque for the buyer, lack of understanding of the market supply price, resulting in the purchasing demander's bargaining power is very weak, in the transaction game is passive.
3. The pressure of capital occupation is large, the turnover is slow and the capital cost is high
In the context of urbanization and a large amount of infrastructure investment, building materials enterprises themselves have a large number of capital needs, for the operation of the project, and the procurement of building materials is often a large batch, a variety of rigid needs of enterprises,no materials, no personnel will lead to project stagnation, but occupy a large amount of enterprise funds into procurement, and will make the company's capital turnover pressure increase sharply, procurement brought by slow capital turnover, high capital costs and other problems, is the pain of enterprises.
4. The payment model is complex and needs to be unified
The payment mode of construction industry procurement is relatively complex, the payment scheme and payment conditions on the contract are varied, and the payment carrier has countless cash, checks, acceptance drafts, etc., and the urgent problem to be solved in the industry is the unification of payment methods. In addition, the existing online payment methods have problems such as payment limit limits and lack of credit protection, which cannot well meet the needs of construction materials enterprises.
5. Low procurement efficiency and long decision-making process
In the process of building materials procurement, somebuyers will encounter the lack of detailed procurement planning in the face of huge procurement volume, and some procurement personnel will be too complicated because the purchase list is too complicated and the phenomenon of loss of the purchase list, these situations will lead to low procurement efficiency, secondly, insufficient procurement quantity, supplier instability, etc., will cause procurement costs and material quality is difficult to control the consequences, and then affect the construction schedule, for the entire project dragged down.
