At the 2017 shareholders’ meeting, Yanjing Zheng, chairman of Fast Retailing Group (Uniqlo parent company), proposed the “Yumi plan”. Since then, digitization has become the key word of Uniqlo, a clothing retailer.

Behind this plan is Yani’s insight into the three major pain points:

  1. It is unavoidable to “make cars behind closed doors” after production and sales, guessing models, and dominating the manufacturing model

  2. Inventory issues, high costs

  3. The online and offline channels are relatively independent, double the cost, wasted data, and a bad experience

    Obviously, technology blessing and digitalization are considered by UNIQLO as an effective antidote to the above-mentioned crux. Therefore, in the past few years, Uniqlo has successively cooperated with consulting company Accenture, technology giant Google, and logistics company Daifuku Co, and has continuously moved towards clothing technology companies.

    You can hardly ignore the “magic effects” of these actions. After all, in recent years, global clothing and fashion giants have been in a downturn, and Uniqlo has stood out:

    The Group’s financial report for fiscal year 2019 shows that, driven by the strong promotion of the Chinese market, profits have hit record highs for the third consecutive year. Sales increased by 7.5% year-on-year to 2.29 trillion yen.

    In fact, under the influence of “leaders”, more and more local clothing companies are also experiencing and practicing the magic of “digitalization”. With the application of technology, the overall efficiency of the clothing industry has been greatly improved. The “industrial Internet”, a seemingly large and empty concept word, is becoming clear in the clothing industry.

    In this evolutionary process, if you have experience, understanding, lessons, and doubts, it is definitely worth sitting down and chatting. Maybe this spark of inadvertent collision can become the next great business. Tiger Sniff wants to make a round for you on Pro Member Day.

    Next Friday, the afternoon of January 10th, we will host the first phase of Pro Member Day in Beijing.

    What I want to discuss with you in this issue is the combination of digitalization and the clothing industry.

    What is Pro Member Day?

    At the end of last year, Tiger Sniff Pro members made a new round of revisions and upgrades. We completely opened up the online paid content section and launched a new secondary market section, all of which are integrated into the 888 yuan / year black card. I tried to use the detailed cases of star companies with rich details, use dehydration research reports, and use the output of front-line experts in the industry to synchronize the trend and pulse of the innovative economy for members and friends more effectively and efficiently.

    But we do n’t want to use these online content to link each other into “net friends”. In fact, the lively discussion about the industry in the weekly membership group makes us further realize that among Pro members ’users, those The smart people who have the strongest need for company value and business trend judgment are looking forward to jumping out of their circles, doing some real industry exchanges, business discussions, and getting to know the big cows in the segmented fields.
