Huida Digitizes Operations with Infor LN for Business Efficiency
CHONGQING, CHINA - Media OutReach - 28 October 2021-Infor, the industry cloud company, today announced that
Huida Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd. (Huida), has rolled out Infor LN, an ERP solution
purpose-built for manufacturers, allowing enterprise users to gain the
visibility they need to quickly respond to customer, supplier, and regulatory
needs—with zero software customization. The move has enabled comprehensive
standardization of business processes for Huida and its subsidiaries so far,
helping the company reduce total cost of ownership (ToC) as well as improve
decision-making.
After the go-live, Huida achieves standardized data
unification, and reduces financial period closing time by 50% while
significantly improving production order evaluation times and warehousing financial
processing.
The announcement took place at a media visit to Huida's
operations in Chongqing, where Huida, Infor and the Chongqing CIO Association hosted
an exclusive event titled "Getting to Know Huida" to share the
company's digital transformation experience.
With two core production bases in Tangshan and
Chongqing, Huida mainly produces sanitary ware, ceramic tiles and total
sanitary ware, including bathtubs, shower rooms and bathroom cabinets, while
ceramic tiles mainly comprise interior wall tiles and floor tiles. Huida's
marketing network spans more than 100 countries and regions around the world,
with a total of 2,323 stores in China, including 1,900 stores for
"Huida" brand sanitary ware and 423 stores for "Huida"
brand tiles.
Prior to the Infor LN go-live, Huida faced a slew of
challenges, including disparate management strategies of the multiple companies
that comprise the larger group that led to information silos. This caused inefficiencies, increased costs
and poor resource utilization, and made them unable to keep up with Huida's
pace of development and future business expansion needs.
Go-Live Business Outcomes
Huida is already deriving tremendous business benefits
from the Infor LN roll-out that includes:
Standardization of end-to-end businesses processes across multiple
subsidiaries, updating former management models and thus improving the flow of
information between former disparate entities
Provision of accurate feedback and data to allow the Group to streamline
management operations
"Infor has more cost-effective advantages and its
overall cost of ownership is minimized," said Chen Yabing, General Manager of
Huida Information Center. "In the initial stages of project implementation,
cost is a key factor for enterprises to consider. The Infor interface is also
user-friendly. After streamlining the entire business process, the degree of
information flow within the company has improved, with quick information processing,
and more accurate feedback. Huida built our ERP system into the core of the
information system of the entire group, through which the upstream and
downstream supply chain is connected, so that the management of the enterprise is
more accurate and comprehensive."
Growing into the future with Infor
Moving forward, Huida plans to leverage Infor LN to
continue to streamline outdated operational models that have slowed them down due
to old management tools. The company plans to build out an ERP system that will
ultimately see it through its business transformation, both now and well into
the future.
"We are happy to be able to provide solutions that
empower companies and groups like Huida to optimize costs and operations," said
Becky Xie, vice president & managing director, Infor Greater China &
Korea. "I am confident that, beyond the short-term results which have already
been achieved, Infor LN will see Huida through even greater long-term success
moving forward. This is the Infor advantage that our deep industry experience
and practical know-how brings to the table."
