CLIENT CONTEXT

Shuanghui Group is a leading meat processing and food manufacturing enterprise in China.

The fresh products division spans slaughtering, cutting, processing, sales and cost/profit management.

The business is highly sensitive to raw material price fluctuation, daily procurement cost, product-part gross margin and production-structure decisions.

This is not a palm oil plantation reference; it is an agriculture-related processing and cost-profit control reference.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

The division needed previous-day true procurement cost, part-level gross margin and sales result before the next business day.

Traditional daily close relied on manual Excel consolidation and required around 40 person-days per day.

Report output was often delayed until after 17:00, affecting pricing guidance and business decisions.

Inconsistent definitions and manual adjustments created risks around data authenticity, traceability and management trust.

Raw material price volatility meant delayed or inaccurate cost data could create significant profit loss.

GUANDATA SOLUTION

Built an ERP + BI automated collection approach, with around 90% system extraction and 10% critical manual input.

Established multi-level dashboards from factory level to business division level and group level.

Unified 3,000+ metric calculation rules to standardize daily close and management reporting.

Enabled T-1 daily close automation and real-time monitoring across operating units.

Supported business-finance integration and full value-chain cost/profit analysis.
