没有评论大分销商仍然主导供应链吗?是的,但我们不应该将更多的注意力放在许多中介机构,包括批发商、创建与零售商的关系的人是谁?印尼去年新成立,Baskit似乎这样认为。它的雄心是为他们提供工具,以数字化库存管理和服务,帮助他们获得更好的价格。和他们的策略似乎是偿还因为它刚刚宣布它已经筹集了330万美元作为其第一轮融资的一部分,仅三个月后的初始筹款150万美元。但为什么越来越多的投资的数字化供应链?根据Baskit Yann Schuermans创始人,供应链是至关重要的对每个主要经济体的经济在东南亚,占GDP的40%到50%。我们应该得出这样的结论:他们的现代化和数字化是不可避免的吗?Baskit目前适用于50岁以上的批发商,主要是在西爪哇。Schuermans指出,供应链在新兴市场是高度分散的,尤其是在印尼,一个复杂的地理与成千上万的岛屿。 As a result, a supply chain is not as simple as it seems. Is it true that intermediaries are necessary because supply chains start with a manufacturer and distributors, then smaller distributors and wholesalers who sell to retailers? “Baskit seeks to make intermediaries more attractive to upstream organizations, including large manufacturers and brand owners. » Wholesalers often do not have brand exclusivity, acting more like traders by buying products that they can sell at higher prices. Rather than seeking to eliminate the role of middlemen from supply chains, Baskit offers them multiple levels of tools to grow their businesses. This includes software that helps them digitize their operations and bring their inventory online. But what sets Baskit apart from other supply chain startups? Far from just focusing on creating ERP software for the enterprise side of supply chains, like large distributors who make tens of millions of dollars in sales a month, Baskit is gearing its software toward helping intermediaries. The latter can thus organize their warehouses and their inventory, obtain visibility on prices, missing goods or items that are aging. Their inventory is then connected to an ordering system, allowing customers to purchase goods online through a catalog. Does it have other competitive advantages? Baskit also offers customer service that helps wholesalers find better products and prices from manufacturers. And it goes even further by offering financing services to intermediaries, who often struggle to obtain working capital from traditional financial institutions. It does this through its software’s data on a company’s turnover and how much money is coming in and going out. It currently works with several P2P lenders and some traditional banks, one of which is on its capitalization table. Is this the key to business success? Baskit’s plan is to expand into more cities, with the goal of reaching double-digit penetration of the wholesaler base in each, which sounds optimistic. However, if this goal is achieved, it will make it an indispensable player in supply chains. It is interesting to note that very few suppliers, very few wholesalers, can cover all the needs of the retailers they serve.
