1. Project background
1.1 Enterprise background
Founded in 1992, Petrochemical is an enterprise engaged in the wholesale and retail of refined oil products and the sales of petrochemical-related products for a long time. Main business: diesel and gasoline for vehicles and ships, lubricating oil, industrial fuel oil, traffic road asphalt and other chemical products. The company now has more than 120 wholly-owned and joint venture gas stations, 3 oil depots, and a total oil storage capacity of 50,000 cubic meters (recently expanded to a capacity of 100,000 cubic meters). The annual sales volume of refined oil is approximately 450,000 tons, accounting for The sales volume in Yunnan Province is about 15%, and the retail of gas stations (small supermarkets in gas stations) is growing at a rate of 10% every year. With the continuous development of enterprises, the informatization construction of gas station terminals has been gradually put on the agenda. How to manage distribution channels more effectively, improve oil supply and early warning capabilities, optimize business processes, and improve work efficiency are the key issues that petrochemicals have always paid attention to and improved.
1.2 Petrochemical retail terminal management status
Petrochemical’s information management is divided into three parts: headquarters, retail terminals (gas stations/small supermarkets) and oil depots. Among them:
Retail terminal: responsible for the sales of refined oil and petrochemical products
–Gas station: mainly sells refined gasoline and diesel, generally including
Motor gasoline: 90#, 93#, 97#
Diesel: 10#, 5#, 0#, -10#, -20#, -30#
–Small supermarket in petrol station: mainly sells petrochemical products such as lubricants of various brands
The data that the retail terminal needs to report are:
1. Sales account of refined oil
2. Monthly report of cost of sales oil
Headquarters: Responsible for the unified operation of capital flow and oil products, as well as the construction of data centers
The data to be transmitted are: form a distribution plan based on the daily reported sales account of refined oil, and notify the oil depot to arrange the oil tank
Unified distribution of vehicles.
Oil depot: responsible for oil storage and supply
The data to be reported are:
Refined oil purchase, sales and inventory details: including oil quantity model, beginning inventory, current purchase, current delivery, and ending inventory
The current status of information processing among the three main bodies of gas stations, headquarters and oil depots are:
Information Collection:
Gas stations with network environment: use business systems for data entry and processing;
Information release: Various types of fuel price adjustments, promotional information, fuel supply information, headquarters announcements, etc., are issued step by step by telephone, fax, etc. As petrol stations and depots are located in different locations in the province, the company has difficulty in acquiring sales and inventory information, and the information interaction is not smooth. It lacks a set of effective information acquisition, analysis, release, and management methods, and it is unable to achieve real-time, real-time, Effective management and support. The development of the affected business and the flexible use of capital flows.
Petrochemical mainly hopes to use mobile terminals to understand sales and inventory information in real time, as well as the purchase, sales and inventory information of oil depots, so as to better guide sales and deployment of supplies.
2. Petrochemical’s demand for wireless applications
2.1 Information transmission characteristics of petrochemical companies
Petrochemical is mainly sold in the form of a network of petrol stations distributed throughout the province and even the whole country. The information transmission between petrol stations, headquarters, and oil depots is mainly concentrated in sales data and inventory data. The main features are:
? Huge sales network, manual management of the entire terminal sales process, low efficiency
? Sales and inventory information feedback is not timely and accurate, and the personnel cost is huge
? Oil product prices are adjusted from time to time, and new products are continuously introduced
? Oil shortage often occurs in the sales terminal
? Inventory is difficult to obtain timely coordination and accurate early warning, resulting in huge inventory costs for enterprises
? Faced with fierce competition and lack of basis for decision-making
? The network environment of the petrol station is unstable
2.3 Petrochemical’s demand for sales terminal management
? Complete the basic wireless data transmission needs between gas stations, oil depots, and headquarters, including:
1. Daily report on sales and inventory information of various types of diesel and gasoline at petrol stations;
2. Daily report on sales and inventory information of petrol station small supermarket products;
3. Daily report of oil depot’s purchase, sales and inventory information
4. Information issued by the headquarters such as price adjustments
? Allow gas stations to access the Internet wirelessly, but data security must be ensured
? Provide a multi-endpoint access system to ensure the normal operation of business processes
? Control communication costs without increasing labor costs
? Does not affect the safety of the petrol station, and does not bring any safety hazards
? Simple operation, provide business training and long-term after-sales support
3 Overall project design
3.1 Overall design ideas
We believe that the construction of the petrochemical wireless terminal data transmission system includes two aspects:
1. Through the establishment of an effective wireless data collection platform, the terminal equipment of the gas station, headquarters, and oil depot is managed, so that the data can be safely and reliably transmitted on the platform.
? Ensure that the sales and inventory data of petrol stations and depots are fed back to the headquarters management platform in a timely and accurate manner.
? Ensure that the company headquarters manage the business data of the petrol stations and depots under its jurisdiction.
? Ensure the company’s effective communication with petrol stations and depots.
2. The application for oil product purchase, sales and inventory management is run on this platform to provide data reference for oil product supply chain management. On the basis of accumulated application experience, through continuous accumulation and gradual development, a petrochemical business data management platform oriented to future business needs will be built to provide necessary support for petrochemical sales management and business development.
3.2 The system achieves its goals
The goal of this system is to provide complete terminal management of sales and inventory through data transmission between the terminal and the platform. The content includes the following real-time tracking at the front desk and analysis and processing in the background:
? Single product sales details (sales volume, sales volume) of a single product at a single oil station on the same day
? Inventory of single product at the single oil station on the day (liters)
? The sales details of the small supermarket of the single oil station (product name, specification, quantity, amount) of the day
? Out-of-stock/order reports (model, specification, quantity) of single-unit gas stations and small supermarkets
? Performance of oil product promoters and salesmen (marketing staff/supervisors) at individual oil stations
? Other flexible applications: market research, promotional effects, etc.
? Receive wireless information: price adjustments, training content, sales materials, promotional activities, market activity reports
? Query: Headquarters leaders can query real-time operating dynamics (fixed-period total sales volume of single-unit petrol stations, fixed-period inventory of single-unit petrol stations, etc.) through PDA
? Wireless information platform
Notification of price adjustments, training content, sales materials, communication platform market surveys for promotional activities, market activity reports, etc.
? Fixed query field database
Summary data of total sales volume and total sales for query
3.3 Design principles
The petrochemical wireless data collection system is based on our rich experience in mobile commerce business and understanding of petrochemical retail terminals, combined with petrochemical business development needs and market competition, and we propose a solution for petrochemical management needs.
The wireless data collection system we designed and developed not only has the basic functions for sales business, such as: submitting sales data, submitting order/out-of-stock data, receiving notifications, etc., but also has great advantages in data analysis and business support. The realization of back-end summary analysis and commodity logistics management can fully meet the petrochemical’s current needs for retail terminal management. The business function of the system not only includes the user’s needs this time, but also includes our characteristic functions in the implementation of enterprise mobile commerce construction in the past.
The principles and objectives of the petrochemical sales management system design mainly include the following aspects:
? The design follows the principle of separation of wireless data transmission and management analysis report environment. The data and the application system are relatively independent, making it easy to use the data for other applications in the future.
? The design follows the principle of data concentration. Centralize the data of all oil stations and oil depots to the data center of the headquarters, support multiple expansions, facilitate the increase of outlets caused by the expansion of enterprise scale, support authority and group management management, and improve management efficiency.
? The design follows the interface normative principle. In order to ensure the flexibility of system expansion and good interoperability between systems, ensure the implementation of each interface, the standardization of interface protocols, and interface content, so that the internal and external connections of the system are clear and understandable.
3.4 System construction meets requirements
? Ease of use, so that the business personnel of petrol stations and depots can use and operate conveniently, and simplify as much as possible to avoid complicated operations and affect the use of business personnel. The management background interface is clear, the functions are differentiated, the existence of redundant functions is reduced, and the data management and export are realized by one-click.
? Stability, information upload and release are stable to avoid the loss of information and data.
? Security, to ensure the safety of business information, to avoid the leakage of data and business secrets.
? Adaptability, to ensure that it can meet the needs of future management, and the system can expand its functions.
? Timely service, to ensure timely response, to be able to solve problems in time, to provide timely door-to-door service, and to provide system upgrade services.
3.5 Target system realization function
According to the overall vision, Petrochemical’s unlimited data collection project is divided into three implementation stages:
The first stage: develop and test the system according to requirements.
The second stage: Distribute our Business Opportunity Terminal to all petrol stations for training and use, one for each station; set up the data management platform on the petrochemical server, or we provide server hosting.
The third stage: optional connection with the existing system, maintenance and expansion development.
3.5.1 System Architecture
We suggest using RFID mobile terminal as a terminal communication tool, using GPRS, and establishing a wireless gas station data collection system through the Internet.
The system will be sent to the sales management data center by the staff all over each petrol station through our business opportunity through the sales data/inventory data/personnel management/promotional information detailed table, the data center conducts data centralized statistical analysis. Based on the data collected in real time, the data center understands the sales dynamics and inventory dynamics of oil products, completes business management and oil product distribution, and can connect to the original management system.
The system uses the handheld wireless device as the terminal software carrier, and realizes the real-time connection with the back-end management server by means of the GPRS wireless network. The staff of the petrol station uses the terminal software to input and upload all kinds of information through our Business Opportunity Link, and query and manage them. The company management personnel access the back-end management terminal through the Internet through the Web mode to realize the management and analysis of various information uploaded by the terminal. At the same time, they can also issue various information and sales management instructions to the terminal. Due to the real-timeization of the entire system, intermediate links are reduced, management efficiency is greatly improved, and the ability to respond to market changes has been accelerated.
