With the continuous development of industry and manufacturing, hardware has gradually played an increasingly important role in various fields, bearing the burden of product quality and experience, especially in the field of home hardware, more "5% cost, decided 85 % experience". Therefore, many home brands that focus on quality and user experience are looking for hardware solutions and even collecting excellent hardware brands on a global scale.
However, at present, domestic hardware products are still far from the developed countries in terms of design and quality; if they want to go abroad for special ordering, they will spend a lot of manpower and material resources to inspect, compare and follow orders... On the road to finding quality hardware solutions, it is not always easy. To sum up, home furnishing companies mainly encounter three types of problems on this road: simple problems, dilemmas, and difficult problems.
Solve simple problems: find high quality and design hardware products
The so-called simple question does not mean a simple question, but it represents an answer that has a clear direction and a reassuring answer. If it is solved, it can directly declare the victory. For home furnishing companies, finding the best quality and design-oriented hardware products is the purest problem they ultimately need to solve.
High quality, which represents high quality, determines the quality of household products; design, while ensuring the realization of the functions of household products, is more beautiful. The combination of quality and design can be called "good hardware."
According to statistics, there are hundreds of home hardware brands in the Chinese market, but there are few companies that can truly achieve both quality and design. In particular, domestic hardware products can enter the ranks of high-end products. Therefore, for a domestic household enterprise with long-term ambitions, the simple problem that needs to be solved is to quickly find a product supplier that can represent quality and design at the lowest cost.
Solve the dilemma: Is it an imported brand or a domestic brand?
In addition to some simple questions with clear answers, home companies are inevitably encountering dilemmas on the road to finding excellent hardware suppliers. There is no single correct direction for these problems. This is a dilemma and must be chosen in both directions.
“Do you choose a domestic brand or a foreign brand?” It is a difficult problem in front of many companies. If you choose a domestic brand, his advantages are obvious. First, the cost is lower. Secondly, the product inspection is more convenient. In addition, there are controllable cooperation and convenient transportation and transportation. The disadvantage is that the quality, design and grade of the product are better. low.
Although the choice of import can obtain better product guarantee and brand endorsement, it also means a higher price: in addition to the obvious money, it also needs to pay the labor cost, communication cost and other potential risks of international trade. .
More importantly, at present, more than 90% of high-end homes are equipped with foreign hardware. Therefore, some large domestic home furnishing enterprises have to use a large number of foreign hardware to adapt to the fierce market competition in the high-end home field.
Solve difficult problems: buy more "smart" hardware accessories in one stop
We all know that hardware has a very rich category, including daily hardware, construction hardware, tool hardware, home improvement hardware and so on. However, traditional home hardware products are relatively simple. Even if they are better brands, they tend to focus on only a few categories; while more companies only provide matching and accessories to other manufacturing companies. The dependence is relatively heavy and the response to market demand is relatively slow.
This leads to the fact that when the finished products purchase hardware accessories, they need to spend more manpower and material resources to do mark
