Recently, good news came from the dyeing and finishing industry: Jinjiang dyeing and finishing industry centralized procurement operation platform completed the first batch of centralized procurement of 211 tons of “300 parts conventional dispersed black ARO” products, exceeding the set target.
It is reported that 211 tons of dispersed black dye can be supplied to Xiangxing, Weisheng, Jinshan Printing and Dyeing, Shenzhou Printing and Dyeing, Weifeng Weaving, Weili Weaving, Xinhong Color, Qianyu Clothing, Xinjieli, Huanxin Textile, etc. 10 dyeing and finishing companies within the company will use it for 3 months.
As one of the first companies to complete procurement through the platform, Shenzhou Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd. has tasted the benefits. Yu Lifang, the company’s purchasing manager, said, “The centralized purchasing platform is very convenient, just like placing an order on Taobao, and it also provides unified logistics.”
Not only is it convenient, but businesses also enjoy benefits. “Several companies jointly placed an order, and the group purchase bargaining price was more favorable, with a discount of more than 10% compared to the market. The price advantage of the entire purchase is very considerable.” Yu Lifang said.
The reporter learned that there are many high-cost and low-efficiency situations between dye auxiliary manufacturers and dyeing factories, which have always been a pain point in the industry. For example, in terms of cost, dye auxiliary manufacturers have problems such as high channel sales costs, too many varieties, no centralized advantages, too many intermediate dealers, and layered price increases. This has led to unnecessary increases in dye auxiliary manufacturers. The cost is passed on to the dyeing factory; while the dyeing factory faces problems such as information asymmetry, opaque prices, scattered orders, low bargaining power, and non-standardized products, making it difficult to control costs.
“Take dispersed black dyes as an example. Dyes that look black to the naked eye are actually different. Some are more like ‘red and black’, and some are more like ‘blue and black’. On the centralized procurement operation platform, when enterprises purchase , we will provide comparison reports to help companies choose the right dyes. This is also a process for the industry to standardize quality.” said Hua Ning, head of the centralized procurement project team of Jinjiang Dyeing and Finishing Industry Association.
In addition, thanks to the intervention of third-party professional suppliers, the platform will professionally select all products in advance and check the quality from the source. For products whose performance is unknown, companies can also place small batch orders to test the waters. “This is very humane.” Yu Lifang said.
The centralized procurement platform also provides supply chain financial services to enterprises. Huaning introduced that the centralized procurement platform cooperates with supply chain finance companies to grant credit based on the size and demand of the enterprise, providing each company with an account advance of 100,000 yuan to 10 million yuan within three months.
