The daily chemical and beauty industry belongs to the typical fast-moving consumer goods sector. In recent years, the increasing demand for personalized products from consumers and the normalization of online e-commerce shopping festivals have driven rapid growth in the daily chemical and beauty market.
This growth brings both new opportunities and challenges to supply chain management in the industry.
Challenges in the Industrial Chain
High Variety of SKUs:
Daily chemical and beauty products undergo rapid updates and iterations, leading to challenges in managing a wide range of SKUs, as well as additional items like batch numbers, dates, and specifications. This complexity can result in poor inventory management and accuracy, leading to losses due to expired stock.
Warehouse Operations Challenges:
a) Seasonal, marketing, and brand-related factors influence demand and often rely on manual operations for bundling. During peak promotional periods, outbound operations can surge manyfold, leading to issues like overstocking, mismatches, and damages.
b) Increasing demands for fast shipping require continuous improvement in operational efficiency in warehousing and logistics.
c) Handling returns is often disorganized, with frequent issues like leaks and damages, resulting in low efficiency and potential errors in reverse logistics.
Surge in Orders during Shopping Festivals:
Promotions, live streaming on e-commerce platforms, and celebrity endorsements can lead to explosive growth in orders during promotional periods, requiring flexible and intelligent warehouse automation solutions to handle the fluctuations in order volumes.
