In the era of new retail, a single sales function can no longer meet market demands. Building a complete retail ecosystem closed loop has become the key to the sustainable development of enterprises. With a profound insight into industry trends, Zhigou Technology, taking vending machines as the core carrier, integrates upstream and downstream resources to create a full-chain new retail ecosystem covering "production - sales - service - data". It provides partners with one-stop solutions from front-end equipment to back-end operations, allowing every partner to deeply integrate into the ecosystem and share development dividends.
Ecosystem Integration, Breaking Retail Boundaries
Zhigou Technology's new retail ecosystem is not a simple superposition of resources, but realizes the organic linkage of various links through technological empowerment, breaking the time and space boundaries and category restrictions of traditional retail.
On the supply chain side, we have established strategic alliances with more than 200 high-quality suppliers, covering multiple categories such as food and beverages, daily necessities, fresh fruits and vegetables, and digital accessories. By building an intelligent supply chain management platform, the whole process of digital management of commodity procurement, warehousing and distribution is realized. Partners can directly connect with suppliers through the platform, enjoy bulk purchase discounts and one-click replenishment services, greatly reducing procurement costs and inventory pressure. At the same time, the platform will intelligently predict commodity demand based on sales data and deploy goods in advance to ensure that popular commodities are never out of stock.
On the consumer side, Zhigou Technology seamlessly connects vending machines with online malls to build a consumption scenario of "offline experience + online repurchase". After purchasing goods from vending machines, consumers can scan codes to follow and enter online malls to enjoy more category choices and exclusive discounts. Orders from online malls can be delivered to home or picked up at nearby vending machines, realizing the free switching between online and offline consumption. This "online-offline integration" model not only improves consumers' shopping experience, but also expands sales channels for partners and increases customer stickiness.
In addition, we have also reached cooperation with shared economy and local life service platforms, using vending machines as lending and returning points for shared power banks, umbrellas, books and other items, as well as takeaway self-pickup points. Through resource intercommunication, it provides consumers with diversified services, and at the same time brings more traffic to vending machines, realizing the maximization of the value of "one location with multiple functions".
Empowerment Upgrade, Making Operations Simpler and More Efficient
Zhigou Technology knows that the success of partners is the success of the enterprise. Therefore, it constantly upgrades the empowerment system, providing all-round support for partners from technology, operation, marketing and other dimensions, making operations simple and efficient.
Intelligent Operation System Empowerment: The independently developed "Zhigou Cloud" operation system is the "intelligent brain" of partners. The system has functions such as real-time data monitoring, intelligent inventory management, and precise marketing push. Partners can log in to the system through mobile phones or computers to check the sales data, inventory status, equipment failures and other information of each device. The system will automatically generate sales reports and operation suggestions, such as "the sales volume of a certain commodity has decreased by 50% in the past 7 days, it is recommended to replace it" and "there is a peak sales volume of coffee at the office building location from 3 to 5 p.m., it is recommended to stock up in advance", so that operation decisions are based on evidence. At the same time, the system supports remote control of equipment, such as adjusting commodity prices and setting promotional activities, without on-site operation, saving a lot of labor costs.
Marketing Resource Sharing Empowerment: Zhigou Technology has established a professional marketing team to provide partners with annual marketing plan support. Whether it is holiday promotions, new product promotions or brand linkage activities, the marketing team will plan in advance and provide services such as material design and activity execution. For example, in summer, the "Cool Summer" theme activity is launched, and vending machines are matched with coupons for buying drinks and getting ice cream for free; in the school opening season, joint stationery brands carry out the "New Semester Equipment Package" promotion. Partners can directly reuse these mature marketing plans, or make personalized adjustments according to local market demands, easily improving sales performance.
Financial Service Support Empowerment: To solve the capital problems of partners, Zhigou Technology has cooperated with a number of financial institutions to launch flexible financial service plans. Partners can enjoy services such as equipment installment payment and operating capital loans. The project can be started with a down payment of at least 30%, effectively reducing the threshold for entrepreneurship. For partners with excellent operating performance, they can also obtain unsecured credit loan lines for expanding the scale of operation.
Case Testimony, Successful Models under Ecological Empowerment
In Zhigou Technology's new retail ecosystem, many partners have achieved rapid development and become successful models in the industry.
Community Operator Mr. Wang: He placed 3 fresh food vending machines of Zhigou Technology in the community. By accessing the intelligent supply chain platform, he directly connected with local farms and fresh food suppliers, realizing the direct delivery of fresh products from the field to the community. With the "offline sales + online reservation" model, residents can book fresh vegetables for the next day through the online mall in the evening and pick them up at the vending machine. After half a year of operation, the monthly sales volume of a single device exceeded 50,000 yuan, and the repurchase rate reached 65%, far exceeding the operating efficiency of traditional community convenience stores.
Campus Entrepreneur Student Li: He operates 5 campus intelligent vending machines of Zhigou Technology in the university. By using the combination of "learning reward area" and online mall, he attracts students to participate. Students can get points issued by the system after class attendance and passing grades, and exchange goods or online mall coupons in vending machines. This model is not only supported by the school, but also improves students' consumption enthusiasm. The average monthly profit of the equipment reaches 28,000 yuan, enabling Student Li to achieve both academic and entrepreneurial success.
Regional Agent Mr. Zhang: As an agent of Zhigou Technology in East China, by integrating local resources, he has laid out 20 comprehensive commodity vending machines in business districts, transportation hubs and other places. With the data analysis function of the Zhigou Cloud system, he accurately adjusts the commodity structure of each location and carries out joint promotions with local catering brands. At the same time, he obtains additional income through advertising investment promotion, with an annual net profit exceeding 1 million yuan, successfully transforming from traditional retail to new retail operators.
Future Outlook, Going to the New Blue Ocean with Partners
With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous upgrading of consumer demand, the vending machine industry will usher in a broader development space. Zhigou Technology plans to further improve the ecosystem, expand overseas markets, and cover the ecological network to 50 countries and regions around the world within the next three years.
In terms of technological research and development, we will increase investment in artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of Things and other technologies, and launch more intelligent and personalized vending machine products, such as unmanned vending cabinets with AI visual recognition and intelligent terminals that can automatically recommend products according to users' preferences.
In terms of ecological construction, we will introduce more cross-border partners, such as enterprises in the fields of health care and culture and entertainment, enrich the content of ecological services, and provide consumers with more convenient and diversified life experiences. At the same time, an ecological partner support plan will be established to provide key support in terms of funds, technology and resources for high-quality partners to jointly explore emerging markets.
Zhigou Technology's new retail ecosystem closed loop has taken shape. We sincerely invite people with lofty ideals to join our ecosystem and become an important part of the ecosystem. Here, you will get not only a vending machine, but also a complete business ecosystem covering resources, technology and services. Let us work together to ride the waves in the new retail blue ocean and create a better future together!
