There are so many giants, why should we independently develop POS store cashier system?

One , Foregoing ：

I am full-time engaged in the Internet industry 15 year , In the early , Mainly for all kinds of enterprises and institutions to do service outsourcing business .

2012 Year begins , President Xi came to the stage , With the help of national entrepreneurship , Innovative Internet + Big wave , We began to explore the field of e-commerce system customization development . Lei jun says , The wind is coming , Pigs can take off even standing at the wind outlet . Very lucky , from 2012 Year to 2016 year , Although the company is a guerrilla style operation , But due to the good air outlet , We also really made a small profit . meanwhile , Our small team , The development of large-scale e-commerce systems has also accumulated a lot of practical experience and skills .

Two , A little story ：

2015 At the end of the year , Our long-term service to a major customer （ The listed company ）, You need a set to get online + offline o2o System , The store is expected to have 100 about . The system the customer needs is relatively large , Involving the mall system + Distribution system + Many stores pos Management system . Distribution system and mall system are clear , Basically not a problem . But the store pos We haven't done management system before , No experience .

Due to the special business logic of customers , Can't use saas Service store management system . The initial idea was that we should develop a set by ourselves , Later, after a careful analysis , The plan the team came up with was that it was best to buy a set of cashier system source code , Then it is most safe to carry out secondary development on this basis . After discussing with the customer , The customer also expressed his approval of our plan , Then it was carried out according to the scheme .

Next is the development of mall system and distribution system , Go to the market to find the source code of the appropriate cashier system . What's amazing is , A full 2 Months , The whole team searched the whole Internet , I can't find the company that sells the source code of the cashier system .（ Strictly speaking ： No cash register system manufacturer that can sell the source code can be found ）.

The customer is in a hurry to go online at this time , What should I do ？

Finally, discuss with the customer , In a company in Shanghai （ The name is kept secret for the time being ） Found a cashier system manufacturer that can provide private cloud deployment , Then do appropriate customized development , And then connect with our existing mall system api Interface . The customer reluctantly accepted this plan .

3、 ... and , Solutions provided by Shanghai company ：

The code of the cashier system took 58 ten thousand , We pay for it ourselves 2 Buy more than 10000 2 Alibaba cloud servers （ The server authority is in their hands ）, Did a few api Interface + A few small customized functions are paid 7 More than ten thousand , Count down , In the first year, the total amount paid to this company in Shanghai 67 More than ten thousand .（ The so-called private cloud deployment , Namely ： He said he provided the source code , But we buy our own servers , I can't get the server permission , Code maintenance is also in their hands ）. We started from 2 Every year from the beginning of the year 20 About 10000 maintenance costs （ Number of stores ：700 element / year / shop , Number of cashier accounts ：500 element / year / individual , Alibaba cloud has to pay our own expenses every year ）.

later ： from 2016 Year to 2020 end of the year , The customer's project also failed to go offline . But the fee paid to this company in Shanghai alone is probably 150 All around . In fact, we didn't get any rebate fee .（ as a result of ： We didn't pay the customer more , Because it exceeds the customer's budget .）

Four , later

2018 Years later , The development market of e-commerce system has plummeted . The market is in a mess , Many friends and businessmen are also sad , We also want to have a new way out . The cashier system has always been in my mind .2019 In the second half of the year, we took another look on the Internet , Domestic slightly famous store cashier system manufacturers generally do saas service , No one sells the source code of the cashier system . Occasionally, several manufacturers sell source code online , Take it over and look at it. It's all garbage , It's impossible to see + It doesn't work .

Final , We think twice about it , I decided to make a set of store cashier management system that belongs to my own intellectual property . after 2020 A whole year of research and development , The system is finally online . The customer's feedback was quite good .

Someone may want to ask ： The cashier system has been built for so many years , So many big manufacturers are doing , Why do you have a chance ？

According to the current situation ：

First of all , The concept of new retail is in full swing

second , Enterprise digitalization , National top-level generous needle

Third ,ToB Class saas Service in the future 10 China will certainly make great achievements in

Fourth , There is no monopoly in the cashier system market in China

The fifth , The pattern of China's cash register system is particularly chaotic , The market is particularly fragmented , The market cake is big enough

The sixth , If the metauniverse can become , There must be intersection with our business

We believe that , As long as you make products with your heart , Service with heart , It will be recognized by customers and the market . Weak water three thousand , We only take a ladle . We don't want to be big , Just feed a small team , Feed every small family in the small team , No, it's good , Isn't that success ？

Last , Put a flag：saas It's too hard , We are encouraged to be a larger domestic outlet cashier system source code output manufacturer ！
