enterprise development and market changes bring information demands

shengjida is the largest steel distribution enterprise in Northwest China, mainly engaged in plate and coil sales, At present, its marketing network has covered Shanghai, Tianjin, Beijing and many other regions, with an annual sales of 400000 tons of plates

-- shengjida is in the stage of rapid development

however, with the gradual deepening of China's accession to the WTO, the number of domestic steel mills and the rapid growth of steel plate production,

steel distribution has also shifted from the seller's market in previous years to the buyer's market - which has led to increasingly fierce competition in the industry. Therefore, how to plan the development path of the enterprise, avoid operational risks, and improve the core competitiveness of the enterprise has become the most important problem that shengjida needs to solve as soon as possible

for this reason, shengjida decided to achieve this goal with the help of information transformation, but initially encountered some setbacks: shengjida once tried to use the ERP software of a Taiwan company, but finally failed to implement it successfully because of the function of the product; Then shengjida developed a software system by itself. Although this system has solved some problems, it still has great limitations - it cannot combine finance and business, the system is not integrated, and the phenomenon of information island is serious. However, after two failures, shengjida finally clarified the demands of Informatization Transformation: clarify the planning of enterprise post responsibilities and the adjustment of performance appraisal through ERP system; Reasonably optimize enterprise resources, so that all aspects of information resources can be fully used in time, and provide reference and basis for rapid decision-making; Optimize the business management process and improve the overall management level of the enterprise. This urgent demand also made president Li of shengjida place high hopes on the future informatization transformation project and informatization P system, and specially conducted a series of research and investigation, including visiting the Informatization Transformation Project of Inner Mongolia Yiyang Automobile Sales Service Co., Ltd., which was rated as "growth enterprise model project" by SAP

through these investigations, President Li and the leadership of shengjida believe that sap is more suitable for the needs of enterprises than other systems, and the professional level and implementation ability of the consulting and implementation team of Gaowei Xincheng will help enterprises build a solid information management platform -- shengjida finally officially launched the SAP ERP system implementation project in July 2005, and hired Gaowei Xincheng as the consultant of the consulting and implementation

join hands with mySAP all in one, informatization should take "I" as the precautions of hydrostatic test, which can be divided into five parts for inventory. At present, there are two ways of enterprise informatization in the domestic steel distribution industry: one is directly implanted into the information system of steel manufacturers, and the other is implemented by enterprises themselves. Therefore, although shengjida has determined to work with SAP and covid to carry out informatization, it is still difficult to make a decision on what kind of solution to adopt

after detailed investigation and comparative analysis, shengjida realized that there are still great industrial differences between steel distribution and steel production, so the second way is more suitable for the characteristics and needs of enterprises, mainly reflected in:

■ the steel distribution industry is relatively restricted by upstream manufacturers. Of steel distribution enterprises
