Frequently Asked Questions

Q: We are a medium-sized cosmetics factory specializing in skincare products like masks and serums. Our current problems are: Production formulas are recorded on paper, which is insecure and inconvenient to search; Material ratios during production rely on manual estimation, leading to a wastage rate as high as 12%; and e-commerce orders need to be manually imported into the production system, often causing delays where "orders are placed but not scheduled for production." How can this be resolved?

A: Targeting your pain points in formula management, production waste, and order coordination, Gallop World IT's customized ERP solution can precisely address these issues. Firstly, we will deploy Cosmetics production and manufacturing software for you. Its "Formula Management Module" supports encrypted storage of formula data with tiered access permissions, preventing leaks, while enabling quick keyword searches, replacing paper records. Combined with the precise material ratio function of the Cosmetics production process ERP, the system automatically calculates raw material requirements based on production order quantities (e.g., "10,000 masks require 500kg of serum") and monitors material consumption in real-time, controlling the wastage rate below 5%. Secondly, by using the ERP system for cosmetics industry to connect Cosmetics e-commerce order management with the production system, orders from e-commerce platforms are automatically synced to the production ERP upon payment, generating production task orders assigned to relevant lines without manual import,completely solving the order delay issue. Furthermore, the Cosmetics wholesale and retail ERP can interface with downstream distributor orders, enabling unified production scheduling for both "e-commerce + offline" orders. The Cosmetics production process ERP also tracks production progress in real-time, allowing you to update customers on delivery dates, comprehensively enhancing production and order management efficiency.

Q: We are a chain of cosmetics stores with 6 locations, selling makeup, skincare, and personal care products. Our issues are: Inventory is scattered across stores, so headquarters cannot track hot-selling item stock in real-time (e.g., a lipstick is out of stock in Store 1 but available in Store 3), leading to lost sales; Member consumption data is isolated per store, preventing unified points redemption and targeted marketing; and purchase orders with upstream suppliers are communicated via WeChat, making delivery progress opaque. How should this be solved?

A: The challenges your cosmetics store chain faces—"inventory coordination, member management, and procurement synchronization"—can be efficiently resolved by Gallop World IT's ERP solution. Firstly, we will set up a Cosmetics wholesale and retail ERP for you, consolidating inventory data from all 6 stores. Through the ERP system for cosmetics industry, this data synchronizes in real-time. Headquarters can view the stock status of each store from the backend. When a customer inquires about an out-of-stock item, store staff can quickly check inventory in other stores, facilitating "cross-store transfers" or "online order for store pick-up," thereby improving conversion rates. Secondly, the member management module within the ERP system for cosmetics industry integrates member consumption data from all stores (e.g., "customer's preferred makeup brands, monthly purchase frequency"), automatically accumulates points supporting cross-store redemption, and pushes targeted marketing campaigns based on preferences (e.g., "sending discount coupons for gentle skincare products to customers with sensitive skin"). Furthermore, the Cosmetics wholesale and retail ERP includes a "Procurement Collaboration Module." You can directly place purchase orders with upstream suppliers through the system. Upon shipment, suppliers upload logistics information, and the ERP system for cosmetics industry automatically syncs the delivery progress, eliminating the need for repeated WeChat communication. Combined with Cosmetics e-commerce order management capabilities, you can also expand into an online store, achieving unified inventory allocation for "offline stores + online store," comprehensively optimizing inventory, member, and procurement management.

Q: We are a cosmetics e-commerce brand focusing on niche, efficacy-driven skincare products. Our problems are: E-commerce orders (from Taobao, Douyin) need to be downloaded from each platform's backend and manually entered into the shipping system, taking 2 hours daily and often leading to address entry errors; We cannot accurately analyze sales data per product (e.g., "sales volume of a specific serum in the last 30 days"), causing poor stock preparation—hot items run out while slow-moving items pile up; and there's a lack of linkage between production and inventory. How can this be fixed?

A: We recommend adopting Gallop World IT's dedicated ERP solution for cosmetics e-commerce, focusing on the core needs of "efficient order processing, data-driven stock preparation, and production-sales linkage." Firstly, we will use the Cosmetics e-commerce order management module to integrate orders from multiple platforms like Taobao and Douyin, automatically syncing them to the ERP system for cosmetics industry. It supports one-click printing of shipping labels and automatically validates address information (e.g., "incorrect phone number length, missing province/city in address"), preventing entry errors and reducing daily order processing time to within 30 minutes. Secondly, the ERP system for cosmetics industry automatically compiles sales data for each product, generating reports on "sales rankings, repurchase rates, inventory alerts." This helps you accurately identify best-sellers and slow-movers. Combined with the production planning function of the Cosmetics production and manufacturing software, it automatically generates stock preparation suggestions (e.g., "Serum X sold 800 bottles in 30 days, recommend preparing 500 bottles"), avoiding both stockouts and overstock. Furthermore, the Cosmetics production process ERP can interface with your contract manufacturers. When e-commerce inventory falls below the alert threshold, the system automatically triggers production and stock replenishment reminders, achieving "sales - inventory - production" linkage. The Cosmetics wholesale and retail ERP can support future expansion into offline wholesale business, enabling unified management of multi-channel operations, comprehensively addressing your informatization pain points and facilitating the e-commerce brand's rapid growth.
