National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center: Panorama of Socialized Digital Supply Chain in 2021

Recently, the National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center released a research report titled "A Panorama of Socialized Digital Supply Chains". The report points out that under the combined effects of emerging digital technologies, platforms and solutions, supply chains are no longer confined to the scope of simple corporate business, but are accelerating their evolution towards digitalization, socialization and ecology.

Part.01 Core Viewpoint

1. Stabilize the supply chain. The socialized digital supply chain plays an increasingly important role in ensuring the supply of key materials, smooth transportation, efficient allocation and on-time delivery, which is related to the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain and the overall situation of "dual circulation".

2. Intelligence. The socialized digital supply chain has end-to-end data integration and visualization functions. It can dynamically perceive, process in real time, and intelligently predict the operation of multi-subject, multi-scenario, and full-link supply chains based on intelligent algorithms, effectively improving the efficiency of supply chain operations and the accuracy of supply and demand matching.

3. Platform. The industrial e-commerce platform has become a pioneer and enabler in the layout of socialized digital supply chain infrastructure, driving the coordinated linkage of multiple entities upstream and downstream of the supply chain to form a socialized supply chain ecosystem that is crisscrossed, each with its own responsibilities and close collaboration.

4. Resilience. The higher the degree of digitalization and socialization of the supply chain, the more resilient it is. It can quickly sense and coordinate related resources when a single node or a single chain is broken or damaged, meet emergency needs for raw materials and final products, and ensure the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain.

5. Empowerment. Socialized digital supply chain starts from the procurement and sales links, drives production through sales, and helps enterprises transform their operating models from multiple dimensions and scenarios such as business, organization, resources, and factors, optimize business processes, improve quality and efficiency, and cultivate core capabilities to adapt to changes and sustainable development.

6. Clusters. Relying on industrial e-commerce platforms, local industrial clusters are competing to promote the digital transformation of the supply chain, build regional characteristic industrial clusters that are "gathered and excellent", and drive the modernization of the industrial chain.

Part.02 Concept and characteristics of socialized digital supply chain

The report defined the conceptual connotation of socialized digital supply chain for the first time, and believed that socialized digital supply chain is a new type of "online + offline" and "physical + digital" infrastructure and production and circulation organizational form.

The report summarizes the six elements of socialized digital supply chain from the perspectives of technology and business, namely digital technology, platform hub, intelligent algorithm, multiple entities, elastic network and cloud business. Compared with the traditional supply chain, the socialized digital supply chain embodies six characteristics: digitalization, visualization, socialization, elasticity, full-scenario and inclusiveness.

The report believes that accelerating the development of socialized digital supply chains is not only a "new cornerstone" for building new digital circulation infrastructure and empowering small and medium-sized enterprises, but also a "first move" that concerns the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain and the overall situation of the "dual circulation".

Part.03 Current Development Status of Socialized Digital Supply Chain

From a practical point of view, the digital transformation of the supply chain generally starts from marketing, procurement and other transaction links, and gradually expands to all links of the supply chain. More and more digital technologies have found application scenarios in the supply chain, and my country is in the initial stage as a whole. Industrial e-commerce platforms are not only pioneers in promoting the development of digital supply chains, but also enablers for the digital transformation of traditional industries. Some regions have taken the lead in trialing and have achieved remarkable results in cultivating the digital supply chain ecosystem. A large number of vertical e-commerce platforms focusing on serving regional characteristic industries have emerged.

Part.04 Application scenarios of socialized digital supply chain

The report combines typical practices of platforms such as 1688 to present in detail eight specific scenarios and use cases of socialized digital supply chains.

1) Transparent and intensive procurement effectively reduces corporate costs

2) The C2M model based on flexible production makes on-demand customization possible

3) Omni-channel digital marketing creates broad market space

4) Smart logistics comprehensively improves supply chain efficiency

5) Supply chain finance solves the problem of financing difficulties and high financing costs for small and medium-sized enterprises

6) Cross-border e-commerce empowers enterprises to improve their global operational capabilities

7) Empowering characteristic industrial clusters to strengthen the collaborative capabilities of the industrial chain

8) Build an upstream channel for agricultural products to drive county economic development

The report believes that the socialized digital supply chain is driving the digitization of related links to go deeper. However, compared with the digitization of procurement and sales, the resistance to data sharing and coordination between upstream and downstream entities in the supply chain is greater, more difficult, and progress is slower. It is necessary to work together from the supply side, application side, factor resources, ecological system, and development environment to break through bottlenecks.
