How DuPont Leverages "One Item, One Code" Technology to Achieve Full-Chain Digital Transformation

Digital Solutions for the Daily Necessities Industry

I. Core Industry Pain Points

1. Rampant Counterfeiting & Substandard Products: Damages brand image and threatens consumer safety.

2. Uncontrolled Channel Management: Frequent instances of expense embezzlement, fraudulent reconciliation, and regional diversion of goods.

3. Inefficient Marketing Execution: Difficulty in implementing strategies, lack of enthusiasm from stores and sales associates.

4. Severe Data Silos: Disconnected data across production, warehousing, circulation, and sales, making collaboration difficult.

II. Defender Digital Platform Solution

Centered on "one item, one code" technology, we build a digital management platform covering the entire link from "production - warehousing - sales - marketing," achieving four core values:

1. Quality Traceability & Anti-Counterfeiting:

   Through production line coding, each product is given a unique identity, combined with multiple encryption technologies to enable precise detection of counterfeit and substandard products.

   Consumers can scan codes to instantly verify authenticity and trace the product's entire lifecycle (from raw materials to after-sales service), building a transparent and trustworthy consumer service system.

2. Channel Control & Anti-Diversion:

   Based on scanned data and automatic comparison with distribution ranges, it provides real-time alerts for diversion, grasping terminal inventory and flow.

   Full-process digital control over warehousing, distributors, and stores supports precise production, supply, and sales planning.

3. Marketing Ecosystem Construction:

   Combines scenario-based marketing tactics (e.g., dealer rebates, sales associate incentives, consumer interaction) to stimulate channel promotion efforts.

   Optimizes strategies through data feedback, forming a positive cycle where "wholesalers are willing to stock, sales associates are willing to promote, and consumers are willing to buy."

4. System Data Integration:

   Connects with internal enterprise systems, breaking down data silos across production, warehousing, circulation, and sales, achieving efficient data flow and decision support.
