ERP solution

Against the backdrop of “Internet+” models such as B2B and C2B, sales at the front end of the enterprise are moving online and becoming social, while the supply chain and logistics at the back end are becoming platform-based and data-driven. Enterprises need to raise the level of information management in their own systems to keep business running smoothly. ERP products, meanwhile, help link to external “Internet+” platforms to advance business, and being extensible they help enterprises complete their digital transformation.

• Adopting advanced technology to keep pace with how enterprises develop in the new era: meeting or creating customers' individual needs in depth, strengthening employee initiative, aggregating resources from many sides, and building a data-driven, real-time operating model
• A transaction-centered intelligent finance system: business needs move from inside the enterprise out to the industry-chain and society level, ultimately achieving close connections between enterprises and integrated, intelligent transactions
• A new, flat, platform-based supply chain management model: enterprises need to connect employees, customers and consumers, suppliers, channels, and partners up and down the industry chain
• Driving industry change on the back of entirely new internet technology: build a genuine internet-based “social business nervous system” that reaches transaction terminals with data and responds in real time, enabling new models such as the community economy, sharing economy, and platform economy, and driving change across the enterprise internet industry

The JB ERP technology framework combines a flexible architecture with rich functional strengths. Through the data interfaces exposed by real-time system operations, it lets enterprises integrate their functional systems quickly and at low cost.

The JB ERP technology framework makes full use of JIABEI's own technical strengths, organically combining a mature technology platform with good scalability and maintainability, a mature product application framework, and a security management framework, which gives the JB ERP product the following features and advantages:

Integrated technology platform

JB ERP draws on both proven, mature development practice and cutting-edge technology. Taking account of the special business-processing nature of ERP software, it keeps advanced technology from drifting away from ERP business characteristics, so JB ERP is rooted in both mature stability and leading technology, each bringing out the best in the other.

JB ERP handles core business processing with a traditional C/S structure; the JB ERP Work Center messaging system uses a standard three/N-tier structure; and the JB ERP e-commerce system uses the popular browser–web server model. The main structure is stable, robust, fast, convenient, and highly scalable. The JB ERP e-commerce system helps enterprises raise the efficiency of handling business away from the office, enables direct transactions between enterprises, and builds a customer-centered market strategy; the system adopts IBM's overall web solution. JB ERP is built on large databases such as MS SQL Server and Sybase, integrating the technical strengths of many sides with the particular nature of ERP business, which safeguards the system's advanced nature, stability, and scalability.

Alert service technology

The JB ERP system uses push technology to make automatic alerts possible for enterprises. JB ERP identifies the steps in a company's circulation process where errors may occur and sets warning thresholds in advance; when a threshold set by the user is reached, it automatically sends the relevant alert to the relevant users. Users can define their own thresholds and expand, change, or delete them.

Enterprises can put the JB ERP alert service to flexible use. For example: a report warning that a batch of materials is expiring, a reorder-point warning report, a customer credit-limit alert, a reminder of an employee's birthday, and so on. With the JB ERP alert service in place, users no longer have to keep watching for system anomalies and can concentrate on everyday problems.

Workflow service technology

JB ERP's distinctive transaction server technology lets enterprises define their workflow processes to match how business actually moves — for example, customizing approval flows or defining how messages are broadcast. The transaction server keeps every step flowing automatically. Take document approval as an example: after an operator submits an approval request, the transaction server delivers it automatically to the first approver; once that approver finishes the review, the system automatically sends the request on to the next approver, and so on until the approval process ends. At the same time, the outcome of every action is notified to both the requester and the approvers.

Real-time monitoring technology

JB ERP's real-time monitoring gives system administrators a complete picture of the enterprise's online users, monitoring in real time their usage status, current operations, the content they access, and the resources they consume. Together with the JB ERP email and messaging system, it makes system management more real-time and more transparent.

Comprehensive logging technology

The JB ERP system provides comprehensive logging. From user login records down to every specific operation detail — modifications to the BOM, changes to documents, approval history, updates to material data, and so on — everything is kept in detailed log records, a capable assistant for managing such a large piece of ERP software.

Optimized performance configuration technology

ERP software is a large system with many users, so allocating resources sensibly and managing the system matter all the more. Beyond hardware, JB ERP provides configuration technology that helps enterprises configure and manage large management software such as MRPII/ERP: limiting the number of online users; setting users' working time windows; locking out ordinary users during system emergencies so important transactions are submitted first; and sending warning messages to the users concerned. All of this improves how smoothly, safely, and stably the enterprise's ERP system runs.

A distinctive language platform

JB ERP takes full account of where its users are located and the language habits they bring. Users can choose the language they know best in the system, and the interface and prompts switch to that language at the same time; introducing multiple languages has no effect on system performance.

This distinctive language capability effectively supports running multilingual versions of JB ERP on a single database, cutting the computer resources, time, and money spent on training, implementation, and support for a new system.

Multi-application data exchange package

An enterprise may run several applications to meet its business needs. Besides providing a standard database interface, JB ERP offers tools for establishing mapping relationships between applications and comes with a set of data conversion and exchange tools, reducing duplicate data entry as far as possible so that data can be shared across different systems.

Factory data collection package

JB ERP can connect to automation equipment in plants and warehouses to improve the accuracy of integrated data and response times. JB ERP supports collecting data with barcode readers, wireless devices, and direct connections to automated shop-floor or warehouse equipment, making effective use of advanced data collection technology to cut unnecessary manual records, avoid redundant manual data entry, and send shop-floor and inventory data quickly to planners and plant managers.

General-purpose data conversion interface

Many kinds of information can be exported from the system, using the functions the system provides, to commonly used office software such as Office and Lotus, in formats those programs can read; exporting this information requires the appropriate permissions. Conversely, for information that has to be entered in large volumes, such as basic reference data, users can enter it in office software according to an agreed format and then import it into the system — in Excel, for instance, which everyone is familiar with.

Customization technology platform

The JB ERP system has an extensible business framework and standard external interfaces. It gives users customization interfaces they can design and develop themselves, so that they can use the templates the system provides to build business function modules with their own characteristics.

ERP for the mobile phone retail industry: built on the design idea of integrated business, financial, and customer management, it lets you manage a whole mobile phone retail business end to end. The store business management system serves three purposes: it supports store operations with hardware and system software, giving them a repeatable standard when they expand as a chain; it provides the information backbone for headquarters to guide and manage store operations; and it gives store managers and company departments the key data they need for decisions

JB ERP: JB ERP suits large group companies, and particularly groups with a headquarters and several branch companies or factories across Hong Kong (China), Taiwan (China), and the mainland. It supports multiple languages (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English), multiple currencies, and many industries — for example, ERP for handbag manufacturing, toys and plastics, watch manufacturing, electronics and electrical products, the printing industry, trade and distribution, mobile phone retail chains, and general retailing.

ERP for the knitwear industry: JIABEI apparel ERP is ERP software aimed at the knitted garment industry, created specifically around its characteristics. The system covers sample-order management, order management, purchasing management, yarn warehouse management, production management, finished-goods warehouse management, and query and analysis functions.
