In the context of the complex and ever-changing international trade environment, Shandong Dadi Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Installation Co., Ltd. has built core competitiveness that is different from traditional foreign trade companies through in-depth innovation in supply chain management. This company with a registered capital of 30 million yuan has formed a unique competitive advantage in the fields of hardware and building materials, mechanical equipment, etc. by focusing on “full-chain service + digital operation”.
Full-chain service: a closed-loop ecosystem from raw materials to terminals
Shandong Dadi Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Installation Co., Ltd.’s business covers the entire process from raw material procurement to terminal product sales. In the field of steel trade, the company has established direct supply relationships with Rizhao Steel, Laigang and other companies to reduce costs through large-scale procurement; at the same time, relying on the storage resources of its affiliated company Shandong Dazong Commerce, it realizes the regional distribution of steel and chemical products. For small and medium-sized customers, the company has launched a “one-stop procurement” service, combining more than 20 categories of goods such as building ceramics and lighting fixtures into standardized packages, and through centralized customs declaration and LCL transportation, it reduces customers’ procurement costs by 15%-20%.
Digital empowerment: intelligent upgrade of supply chain
The company invested 5 million yuan to build a supply chain management platform, which has realized the full process of order, inventory and logistics digitalization. Through AI algorithms to predict market demand and dynamically adjust procurement plans, inventory turnover rate has increased by 30%; the introduction of Internet of Things technology to monitor warehouse goods in real time has reduced the cargo damage rate to below 0.3%. In addition, the platform is connected to the electronic port systems of Qingdao Port and Rizhao Port to realize the full online operation of customs declaration and tax refund, and the average customs clearance time is shortened to 12 hours.
Regional layout: Rooted in Shandong, radiating across the country
The 50,000-square-meter modern storage center built by the company in Yanzhou, Jining, forms a linkage with the logistics nodes in Jinan and Qingdao. In 2024, through the “road-rail-water” multimodal transport, engineering machinery parts will be shipped directly from Yanzhou Land Port to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, reducing transportation costs by 22%. At the same time, in response to domestic customer needs, the company has set up distribution centers in Linyi, Weifang and other places to sell Shandong’s specialty products (such as Weifang power equipment and Zibo ceramics) to the world through cross-border e-commerce channels, driving the export of enterprises in the province to exceed 200 million yuan per year.
Collaborative innovation: building a supply chain community
Shandong Dadi Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Installation Co., Ltd. has formed a supply chain alliance with Qingdao Port International Logistics and Sinotrans Shandong Company to share logistics resources and market information. In response to the financing difficulties of small and medium-sized enterprises, the company has launched a “supply chain finance” product in conjunction with banks to provide financing support to customers by pledging accounts receivable, with a total loan of 120 million yuan in 2024. In addition, the company regularly holds industry forums, inviting suppliers and customers to jointly discuss supply chain optimization solutions, forming a “win-win cooperation” ecosystem.
In the future, Shandong Dadi Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Installation Co., Ltd. plans to extend its supply chain services to new energy, high-end equipment and other fields, and explore the establishment of overseas supply chain centers. Through continuous model innovation and technology upgrades, this young foreign trade company is transforming from a “trade middleman” to a “supply chain service provider”, injecting new impetus into the high-quality development of Shandong’s foreign trade.
