YodoPay – A Sunmi Partner

For the past 3,000 years mankind has predominantly used currency to make payment or exchange value. For the past several hundreds of years payments were made in cash, an exchange based on the trusted relationship between a merchant and a customer, with a trusted instrument backed by sovereign governments and without any fee being incurred. It was a recent event since the mid 20th century that bank payment products, primarily financial cards or credit and debit cards, arrived on the scene. Visa the largest payment card provider in the world was founded in 1958 several years before the first mobile phone in the mid 1970’s and twenty years before the Internet, which arrived in the late 1980’s. The majority of humanity now has a mobile phone so two questions to ponder; why are most mobile payment schemes based on a financial product (other than cash) and why is cash still so resilient ?

ApplePay, Android Pay, Ali pay and WeChat Pay are all based on a “core bank payment engine”. YodoPay alone is advocating a return to less costly, more trusted cash as the core payment engine for mobile payments. Cash has lower transactions costs, zero danger of identity theft (one of the fastest growing crimes) and cash based system tends to be less fraudulent. But wait,”how can one structure a cash based mobile payment system that is efficient, safe trusted and regulatory compliant?” The answer lies in leveraging the routine daily cash handing practices of small merchants and setting realistic balance limits on the mobile cash accounts. General worldwide Money Service Business (MSB) regulators are rightfully concerned with anonymous money transfers due to money laundering but rather than throwing out cash, a method of exchange faithfully serving mankind and still preferred by a majority of the global population, why not use modern technology to perfect cash in a digital form. When regulators set balance and velocity limits on digital cash, government (the people) are better able to control both the transaction costs and fiscal policy (the money supply).

Mr. Blue  CEO of a ERP developer company

Mr. Blue’s company is mainly engaged in developing commercial ERP solutions, the management team have more than 20 years of experience in the software industry.
He received a request from a Zhangzhou company, who produce and process for “one of the only existed Japanese traditional bamboo sword ( called Shinai) families in the world”.

The Japanese bamboo sword must be hand finished and can never be put in commercial production lines, only for better protection of traditional crafts and spirit of Japanese shinai making.
Workers of this factory are very professional artisans, with decades experience in crafting, but just like most craftsmen, they do not like and use the computer. All production schedule can only copy by hand billing.

Then comes the problems:

1. Handwritten billing is low efficiency and bad effect.
2. Information collection and files management are time-consuming and laborious.
3. The work transition cycle is long, capacity is wasted in the accumulation.
4. Complicate wage settlement, hard to record and calculate working time, pieces and overtime working
5. Process situation can’t be recorded and checked until the final warehouse registration.
6. Workers reject the use of intelligent equipment because it’s complicate and they don’t want to cost time to learn it.

How Mr. Blue solve all these problems and at the same time continue their traditional hand craft?

Solution:
Customized ERP which based on the production process + Extremely easy operate intelligent hardware with printer, scanner, etc.
Target: easy to understand, easy to operate, factory artisans can use it without any training.

Advantage:

1. Low training cost, easy to operate!
2. No handwritten billing, convenient and efficient working receipt printing!
3. Clear working receipt transition, promote capacity.
4. Check production schedule at any time, easy to manage!
5. Record data fragment at any time, reduce error rate, save both time and labour!
6. Extra workforce has been saved and management team can also be put into production!

Factory boss review: 
I’m so satisfied with this solution!
Since the deployment of Sunmi V1, we completely abandon the traditional hand billing and simplify work processes, reduce errors, improve production capacity. Workers also enhance the personal income. Most important is the convenient simple interface and operation of Sunmi V1, workers like to use it at the first day without any rejection.
