Regarding the core pain points of foreign professional buyers (brands, e-commerce platforms, wholesalers) (long customization cycle, slow replenishment, severe homogeneity), the company uses practical data to showcase its service advantages:

- Efficiency Data: Complete product demand analysis + original design + feasibility verification within 3 days (industry average: 7-10 days), deliver custom samples within 5-10 days (industry average: 15-20 days);

- Case Support: In 2024, customized a portable tire repair machine for the European Beta brand (suitable for small repair shops), from demand communication to sample delivery took only 7 days, shortening 50% compared to the customer's expectation. Subsequently, this product achieved monthly sales of over 800 units in the European market.

- Batch Production Cycle: 20-45 days for large-scale production (lifting machines, tire removal machines and other mechanical products take 40-45 days, while toolboxes and other hardware products take 20-25 days), which is 25%-67% shorter than the industry average cycle (60 days);

- Emergency Order Fulfillment Capability: Supports 10-50 emergency orders, with production and delivery completed within 7 days (in 2024, handled 12 Amazon seller emergency orders, with an average delivery time of 6.2 days).

- Pricing Data: For elevators with the same configuration (such as 2-ton capacity, CE certification), the company's quoted price is 12%-18% lower than that of enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and 40%-50% lower than that of local enterprises in Europe;

- Cost Control: Relying on the supply chain of the northern industrial belt, the cost of raw materials is 8%-12% lower than that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang; Automation production reduces labor costs by 15%, and these advantages can directly translate into the price competitiveness of customers.

As the technical benchmark of the northern automotive maintenance tool industry cluster, the company not only focuses on production but also attaches great importance to technological research and development and product iteration. In 2024, the company's R&D investment accounted for 3.2% of its revenue (higher than the industry average of less than 2%), with a core R&D team led by 8 mid-to-senior engineers. The company has accumulated 25 utility model patents (including key technologies such as the optimization of press machine structure and the automation control of tire-pulling machine), and the R&D achievements have been directly transformed into the product differentiation advantages for customers.

- Cooperative customer: A North American automotive maintenance equipment brand (a subsidiary brand of Snapon)

- Customer requirements: The North American market has strict energy consumption requirements. They need to develop a 2.5-ton lifting machine that complies with ANSI standards, with a standby power consumption of ≤ 5W (industry average 12W), a 20% reduction in lifting energy consumption, and a lifting speed of ≥ 14mm/s.

- R&D process:

1. Completed the technical plan in 3 days (using permanent magnet synchronous motors to replace traditional asynchronous motors and optimizing the hydraulic circuit design);

2. Completed the prototype production in 15 days, passing load tests and energy consumption detection (standby power consumption 4.2W, lifting energy consumption reduced by 23%);

3. Completed the sample iteration in 20 days, adapting to the customer's brand appearance design.

- Cooperative results: This product achieved sales of over 18,000 units in the North American market in 2024, a 40% increase compared to the customer's original product sales. Due to the "energy-saving advantage", it received the "Green Tools" recommendation label from Amazon North America Station, and the company became the exclusive R&D cooperation supplier for this category of products by Snapon.

Overseas customers often encounter the problems of "slow cross-border after-sales response and long parts supply cycle". The company has specifically established a "global after-sales + localized parts" system. By 2024, the after-sales satisfaction rate of overseas customers reached 96%, and the average resolution time for after-sales issues was reduced by 50% compared to the industry average.

- Partner: A car maintenance tool distributor in Munich, Germany (serving over 200 local auto repair shops)

- Emergent Issue: In November 2024, 10 TYJ24-3330 presses sold by this distributor experienced a "hydraulic valve jamming" fault due to the local low-temperature environment causing seal incompatibility. The equipment needed to be restored within 48 hours (each repair shop's daily loss due to shutdown exceeded 500 euros).

- After-sales Response:

1. Within 1 hour: The after-sales engineer conducted a remote diagnosis via video and confirmed that the low-temperature adapted hydraulic valves needed to be replaced.

2. Within 6 hours: 10 sets of hydraulic valves were dispatched from the company's parts warehouse in Rotterdam, Netherlands (established in 2022, covering the European market).

3. Within 36 hours: The distributor received the parts and completed the repair, with all equipment restored to operation.

- Customer Feedback: "The after-sales response speed of Shidani is far superior to that of other Asian suppliers we have worked with. The localized parts warehouse has completely solved the problem of 'waiting for parts and halting operations'. We plan to increase our purchase volume by 22% in 2024."

In the past two years, issues such as rising raw material prices and logistics disruptions have occurred frequently worldwide. The company has built a resilient supply chain through "multi-vendor layout + safety stock + flexible logistics". In 2024, it achieved a "delivery on-time rate of 98.5% for orders", which is much higher than the industry average of 85%, ensuring that customers will not miss market opportunities due to supply chain problems.

- Background: In Q2 of 2024, global steel prices soared by 25%. Some small manufacturers delayed deliveries due to raw material shortages, but the company took on a batch order of 10,000 toolboxes for the European Beta brand (with a delivery period of 40 days).

- Response Measures:

1. Supplier Collaboration: Initiated a "joint supply mechanism" with three core steel suppliers (Hebei Shougang, Shandong Taishan Steel, Tianjin Rongcheng) to avoid single supplier shortages;

2. Inventory Buffer: Utilized 500 tons of cold-rolled steel plates (safety stock period of 30 days) for priority production to ensure order fulfillment;

3. Cost Control: Through signing a "quarterly pricing agreement" with suppliers, the impact of steel price increases was controlled within 8%, and no additional costs were passed on to customers.

- Result: The order was finally delivered 2 days ahead of schedule. The Beta brand subsequently placed an additional 20,000 orders, and the company was listed as a "priority supply chain partner".

Supply chain indicators	Company data	Industry average level	Value to customers
Number of core raw material suppliers	3-5 companies / category	1-2 stores per category	Avoiding supply disruption from a single supplier
