Your Use Case

F2C / M2C

Factory to Consumer / Manufacturer to Consumer

Your painpoints:
Factories and manufacturers aiming to expand their business and sell directly to consumers often encounter challenges in navigating an entirely new sector. The requirements for selling, especially to end consumers within the European Union, have significantly increased. This surge in requirements includes not only the development of suitable product data specific to each channel and synchronized offer data but also the unfamiliarity with return, CRM processes, last mile shipping, order package and many more.

The solution:
Qilin.Cloud supports F2C/M2C companies in entering new markets by providing appropriate, individual software solutions for all their needs. Thanks to its modularity, it is possible to find the right software solutions for any challenge at any time – and if necessary, they can be seamlessly replaced. United on the Qilin.Cloud technology platform, companies benefit from an infrastructure where concerns about scaling, maintenance, failures, and the like are eliminated.

 

D2C

Direct to Consumer

Your painpoints:
Brands seeking to deepen their vertical integration and gain margin advantages through customer proximity frequently encounter challenges in tapping into a previously uncharted domains. The requirements for sales (B2C / D2C) have significantly increased in recent years. Not only are legal regulations in direct-to-consumer sales often very different from B2B transactions, but managing customer interactions and particularly targeted marketing on channels such as marketplaces also pose significant challenges for brands.

The solution:
Qilin.Cloud supports brands wishing to offer D2C services by providing suitable, individualized software solutions for all their requirements. Thanks to its modularity, the right software solutions for any challenge can be found at any given time, and if necessary, they can be seamlessly replaced. Unified on the Qilin.Cloud technology platform, brands benefit from an infrastructure where concerns about scaling, maintenance, failures, and similar issues are eliminated.

 

B2B

Business to Business

Your painpoints:
Traditionally, companies aiming for enhanced growth or facing pivotal moments such as internationalization or digitalization encounter difficulties integrating with complex IT, infrastructure, and ERP systems. These projects often carry significant risk due to their costly and prolonged nature, alongside the necessity to address performance and security concerns. Historically, monolithic all-in-one systems like ERP have been deployed, which not only incur high lock-in costs but also impede the agility of businesses. When market changes necessitate updates to existing systems or when companies aim to expand and often internationalize, they become acutely aware of their inherent inertia and the associated costs.

The solution:
The Qilin.Cloud technology platform addresses this very issue. Once migrated to the platform (and this can be done partly), companies can not only integrate solutions that are perfectly tailored to the current needs of every department but also replace them without significant time loss or excessive costs, if necessary. The company becomes not only agile but, crucially, fast—today’s most critical KPI, because speed is essential for responding to customer demands.

 

B2C

Business to Consumer

Your painpoints:
B2C enterprises face the challenge of providing personalized shopping experiences in an environment of escalating customer expectations, frequently relying on standard software solutions such as monolithic ERP systems. However, such standard solutions often make customization complex or unattainable. The issues of scalability during peak seasons, delayed product introductions in reaction to market trends, and the difficulty of crafting seamless omnichannel experiences are widespread. Moreover, maintaining data security, adhering to regulatory compliance, and efficiently managing returns and customer service present significant obstacles, particularly as companies embark on international expansion.

The solution:
Qilin.Cloud addresses these pain points with a unique technology platform. Through its modular structure and the use of pre-made components, you not only have the opportunity to reduce complexity in your IT landscape but also to tailor it specifically to your needs – thereby offering solutions and shopping experiences customized for your customers.

This allows you to focus on your core business and achieve the necessary agility to adapt to market changes, regulatory updates, and most importantly, your customers’ desires. Stay ahead of your competition, today and in the future.
