Application Status Of Garment Enterprises Informatization

"Clothing, food and shelter", as the four basic needs of the survival of the people, the apparel industry ranks first. It can be seen that it is very close to people's daily life, so it has always been known as the "never declining industry" and has broad prospects for development.

As a "world factory", China has opened up the silk road more than 2000 years ago, and has been praised as the "clothing kingdom" by the world.

Today, our country has more than 50 thousand garment enterprises, annual output of tens of billions of clothing, grasp the global apparel industry total about 60% of the market share, is the "clothing first power".

However, it is fair to say that China's garment manufacturing industry, which has survived the financial crisis, is facing a very awkward situation.

Nowadays, domestic and international market competition is increasingly fierce. The pressure of RMB appreciation has posed a major threat to the garment industry, which accounts for a large proportion of exports.

Recently, the relevant ministries and associations led the association to test the RMB exchange rate pressure on labor-intensive industries. The results show that if the RMB appreciates in the short term 3-5%, the profits of manufacturing enterprises such as clothing, household appliances, automobiles and mobile phones will drop by about 30%, and many SMEs with low bargaining power will face losses.

And the pressure of labor shortage, rising raw materials and rising wages will also gradually encroach on the profits of the traditional manufacturing industry.

At the same time, it is very worrying that with the expansion of the scale of garment enterprises, the original manual management system has been increasingly unable to adapt to the development of enterprises. The operation and management of enterprises are troubled by the inefficiency caused by a large number of manual processing and pmission of information.

At present, the garment industry in China is experiencing the pformation pains from quality competition to cost competition, forcing enterprises to turn to the market response speed and the overall improvement of technological innovation ability, and further urge the garment enterprises to make every effort to improve and keep pace with the times in the management mode and the application of information technology, which will decide the success or failure of the garment enterprises in the future.

Application status and problems of garment enterprises informatization

However, it is impolite to say that because of the misunderstanding of information technology in domestic garment enterprises, there are many bottlenecks in information input, and there are many bottlenecks in talent, technology and so on. Therefore, the application rate of clothing enterprises in China is still low, and the results are very general.

1, less input in information technology.

IDC survey shows that in terms of information input, according to the proportion of information input and sales revenue of domestic garment enterprises, 85% of enterprises are below 1%, 10% of enterprises reach 1%-2%, and only 5% of enterprises reach more than 2%.

The information input of foreign garment enterprises generally reaches more than 3% of sales revenue, leading enterprises even reach 5%-10%, effectively improving their international competitiveness.

2, the application is still relatively elementary.

In terms of information application level, domestic clothing enterprises are still relatively elementary, mostly concentrated in the financial system, OA and wage accounting system. A few good clothing enterprises also use the invoicing system, CRM and e-commerce, but the utilization rate of the fully integrated information software like ERP is very low, less than 10%, automatic control system accounts for only 12%, and textile dedicated CAD is less than 18%.

At present, it is difficult for most garment enterprises with dozens or hundreds of franchised stores or franchisees to make accurate distribution plans for their franchised stores and franchisees. It is also difficult to gather, forecast and analyze the sales situation of franchised stores and franchisees so as to delay business opportunities.

3, the phenomenon of information isolated island is still obvious.

Some good clothing enterprises even integrate many different information systems, but they do not integrate information well. There are "isolated islands of information". There is an access bottleneck in every system module, that is, whether enterprises such as ERP, CRM or OA adopt the same product, it is difficult to integrate naturally, and it is difficult to integrate with the future development strategy of enterprises.

This aggravates the difficulty of IT system construction and management, and is difficult to effectively improve the management level of enterprises.

4. The system solution is specialized and poorly differentiated

There are more and more applications in the clothing industry, but at present, most of the program providers are holding high the banner of "generalization" and seldom go to the grass-roots level to experience the actual needs of clothing enterprises. They have no time to seriously analyze their strong differences and try to "eat fresh food under the sun". The products are endowed with the function and value of "size eating and omnipotence". They try to solve all the troubles and troubles of the clothing industry on ERP and CRM with a software, a technical framework and an idea. The result is "not being expert but not deep," which is difficult to achieve. At present, ERP, CRM

For example, in the multidimensional table display, material coding, BOM processing, order processing and so on, clothing enterprises still have the demand of differentiation, individuation, and specialization. But many developers still like to apply the ideas and schemes used in the beverage industry, machinery and electronics industry to the garment industry, resulting in acclimatization.

In addition, ERP and CRM software developed by some developers for large garment enterprises are sold to small and medium-sized enterprises after the so-called "enrichment".

And so on and so forth.
