  2. Design the Website and the supply chain • The nature of our website in the supply chain • We are a pure virtual EC website selling groceries • A retailer in the supply chain, we have suppliers upstream, corporate buyers & end users downstream • We hold our own inventory but we don’t have any physical store • Our mission is to provide customers with the most economical yet the widest choice of quality grocery items in a fast, cost-efficient and effective way • The nature of demand for our products • Customers decide what we carry • Grocery products are functional products • Stable, predictable demand and long life cycles • The supply chain for this functional products should be physically efficient and responsive to the market

  3. Design the Website and the supply chain • Supplier analysis • Multiple choice, manufacturers and wholesalers to get the most original price • Continuous Replenishment Inventory control with us • IOIS to share inventory data, sales data, so we can cooperate very effectively and efficiently with each other. • With CRP and IOIS we also can simplify order process and reduce order process time • Customer analysis • Corporate buyers: B2B, regular and in relatively small number, most of the profit are from them • Individual end users: B2C • Customer strategy can be different
