EDITOR’S NOTE 編輯的話

The Golden Triangle of Transformation: Technology, Capital and…

「轉型三寶」: 科技、資金、還有…

According to Gartner, 91% of businesses are engaged in some form of digital initiative, and 87% of senior business leaders consider digital transformation as a priority. The critical elements to succeed in digital transformation lies on the golden triangle: technology, capital and culture. Companies can always access advanced technologies in Hong Kong easily, but the key lies in how well the solution can address their needs. For example, a traditional brand expanded to online channels and resulted in a 10% increase in sales; A food company has implemented smart technologies in its manufacturing site to monitor production process, enhance productivity and enable remote management. Understand what the business needs first before diving in the digitalisation trend is important. Some companies especially the SMEs, may encounter challenges like cash flow problems or insufficient budget when implementing digital transformation. They may need to obtain capitals in 2 ways - apply for Government funding or obtain financing from banks. Government funding like Technology Vouchers (TVP) supports HK enterprises to use solutions to improve productivity and transform business processes; Reindustrialisation Funding Scheme subsidises manufacturers to set up new smart production lines in Hong Kong. To facilitate SMEs’ loan application, digitalised financing prevails as well: a company specialised in Southeast Asian food has obtained financing in 2 weeks via the digital trade finance solution offered by GS1 HK & bank, turning trade data into capital. After all, culture determines digital transformation success. According to a study*, 87% of respondents agreed that culture created bigger barriers to digital transformation than technology. As digital transformation requires company members at every level to come along the journey, companies shall purposefully focus on “people aspects”. For example, to nurture their employees to prepare for changes and upskill themselves to become future-ready. In this issue, DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited shared about the partnership with GS1 HK on the offer of “on-demand digital trade financing solution”, which empowers SMEs to enjoy faster access to funding using their invoice data. In addition, Chewy International Foods has also shared their effort in transforming business with digitalisation and automation to capture new opportunities amid turbulent times, whereas EatGoodSpain proactively tapped into the trend of digitalisation.

根據Gartner的調查,91%的企業正參與不同形式的數碼 項目,87%的企業高層更將數碼轉型視為重中之重。企業 要成功數碼轉型,就需靠「三寶」- 科技、資金、企業文化。

香港企業要接觸科技絕非難事,但關鍵是如何找到切合 自身需要的科技。例如有傳統老字號轉攻網上渠道,令 生意升逾1成;有食品企業就於廠房內應用智能科技監 察生產流程,提升生產力的同時,進行遙距管理;因此, 在推行數碼化時,最重要是找到業務痛點、對症下藥。 有些公司尤其是中小企在推行數碼轉型時往往面對缺 乏流動資金或資金不足等問題,因而需要從以下2個方 法獲得資金:申請政府資助及從銀行獲得融資。當中科 技券(TVP)可支援本地企業投資科技,提高生產力或將 業務流程升級,另外「再工業化資助」讓生產商可設立新 的智能生產線。為方便中小企借貸周轉,銀行融資亦已 數碼化,有經營東南亞食品的公司就透過GS1 HK與銀 行攜手推出的數碼貿易融資服務,於2星期內獲得信用 額,成功將自身貿易數據轉化為資金。

然而,數碼轉型成功與否終究在於企業文化。有調查*發 現,87%受訪者認為相比起科技,企業文化更阻礙他們推 行數碼轉型。由於數碼轉型需要整間公司都接受轉變, 企業更需從員工著手,例如是鼓勵他們願意提升自身技 能配合轉型。 今期Business Connect就有星展銀行香港講述他們與 本會合作推出的「按需數碼貿易融資服務」 ,讓中小企可 透過自身的貿易數據更快獲得融資。另外,超力國際食 品致力革新將運作數碼化及智能化,迅速轉危為機;食 好西班牙就積極配合數碼化大趨勢。 歡迎閱讀更多精彩內容。

Turning Data into Working Capital through Digital Trade Financing to Fuel a Sustainable Finance Ecosystem 「數碼貿易融資」 將貿易數據轉化成 營運資金 建可持續金融生態 Alex Cheung

While small-and-medium-enterprises (SMEs) show signs of growth as local consumption bounces back, their cash flow remains tight because of the extended payment terms for clients. To improve liquidity, some owners take money out of their own pockets or acquire high-interest loans. Having to handle hundreds of invoices and receipts every month, SMEs, especially in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and food & beverage (F&B) sectors, often cannot afford to spare manpower to apply for trade financing from banks – a process which is usually time-consuming and tedious. For this reason, DBS Hong Kong identified GS1 HK as a strategic ecosystem partner to collaborate on an on-demand digital trade finance solution. By making use of financial technology innovations, this solution redefines the trade financing journey for SMEs with DBS availing financing through a streamlined credit assessment process. SMEs no longer need to submit extensive documentation to banks, and can access working capital with just one click via the bank’s corporate electronic banking platform, DBS IDEAL, and enjoy same-day disbursal.

Clearing obstacles for SMEs’ financing Aimed to facilitate SMEs’ loan journeys, the partnership is built on DBS’ digital infrastructure including its predictive analytics capabilities, which is integrated with GS1 HK’s B2B e-commerce platform ezTRADE. The ezTRADE SME users can authorise DBS to make use of the trusted historical data on the platform to make credit assessment. Once the trade finance line is approved, using ezTRADE’s dynamic trade data, DBS will be able to calculate the SME’s current outstanding invoice amount and determine the amount available for financing, which is refreshed daily. SMEs no longer need to submit hundreds of invoices per month to the bank based on their daily business operations; this digital trade financing solution delivers a hassle-free and paperless solution by relieving SMEs from repetitive documents submission. What’s more, this trade financing solution offers flexibility to SMEs by allowing them to only draw on the financing amount that they need, thereby reducing the need to bear unnecessary interest unlike a longer term loan. Usually, it is not common for FMCG / F&B SMEs to seek invoice financing because both the banks and SMEs would find it time-consuming to handle the tons of invoices involved. Alex Cheung, Managing Director and Head of Institutional Banking Group of DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, said, “With the help of financial technology, we can streamline the processes, understand the scale and growth potential of clients and offer them with a suitable trade finance solution. More importantly, SMEs can access working capital for daily operations simply by using trade data, which greatly reduces costs.” A few companies requested for the service when it was launched.

The digital trade finance service helps SMEs open up new funding sources and ensure ongoing cash flow for business.

Tip Sheet for your e-Commerce Business 電商新手 懶人包 e-Commerce has become a battlefield for companies of all sizes in

recent years. Newbies may encounter the following issues when developing their e-commerce businesses:

近年電商市場迅速發展,成為各大中小品牌必爭之

地。電商新手在開展電商平台生意時,可能會遇下 問題:

Products Cannot be Listed 產品未必能上架

Brands may experience issues like “product already exists” or “details do not match” when listing products on e-commerce platforms, which are mostly related to barcodes. Amazon has announced that product listings without valid barcodes (i.e. GTINs not issued by GS1) will be removed. For Google, different products using the same barcodes with the same variant attributes will be disapproved, thus cannot be listed on Google Shopping.

品牌可能會遇到產品因各種問題例如是「產品已存在」或「無法識別產品資訊」而未能上架,而這些問題均與產品條碼相關。 Amazon指出,如產品使用無效的條碼(即不是由GS1提供),就會因「無效識別」而被移除。此外,Google也規定若�件不同產品擁有 相同識別碼(包括GS1條碼)及產品資料,將會因資訊不明而未能享用Google Shopping的免費產品資訊刊登功能。

Lack of Online Visibility 產品曝光率低

According to survey report, 63% of shopping journeys begin online*, highlighting the importance of online visibility. The secret sauce to online product discovery is barcodes. Barcodes can help Google clearly identify products by better understanding online content, thereby providing better search results to consumers and increasing products’ online exposure.

有報告顯示,63%的購物旅程均源於線上*,品牌的網上曝光率非常重要。條碼為提升網上曝光率的秘密武器,因獨一無二的產品條碼 (GTIN)可助Google透過準確識別而更了解您的產品,繼而為消費者提供更精準的搜尋結果,提升產品網上曝光率。

How to Obtain Barcodes for e-commerce? GS1 HK is the only officially licensed organisation in Hong Kong to issue GS1 barcodes.

The public had rushed to stock up rice in the early days of the pandemic, in fear of shortage. As rice is the main staple for Hongkongers, the Government stipulates all registered rice merchants to maintain rice stock at a level sufficient for consumption by the local population for 15 days. Chewy International Foods, one of the key local rice suppliers for more than half a century, is committed to keeping a “safety stock” and had not experienced shortage throughout the pandemic, according to Diana Mok, Managing Director of the company.

Apart from utilising our existing stock, we also persuaded our customers to try alternatives with similar taste but from different origin. In that way we have managed to keep a stable supply throughout. A fast-food restaurant chain customer was using our supply of American rice, and hence affected by the production stand-still at that region. Fortunately, we had stocked up 30,000 packs, which is equivalent to a stock level of another three months in our warehouse, otherwise the restaurant chain would 9

Innovation DNA Chewy is currently operating 6 warehouses stashing rice and dry goods like udon noodles, including 2 cold storages spanning a footprint of 20,000 sq. ft. for frozen foods which are surging in sales. A few years ago, the company installed machineries such as rice color sorters, rice polishing machines and paddy destoners in 2 of its plants, and added robotic arms to automate some of the processes in packaging and goods transport with funding from the

“Digitalisation has also helped our operation to cope with the pandemic. Even when some employees had been infected, we could still remotely perform all our workflow, from procurement to delivery, the same way as we do at the office. Thanks to the well-established online ordering system that empowered our clients to place order anytime, anywhere, we did not miss a single order during the pandemic.” Chewy was the first member of GS1 Hong Kong in 1989, and was among the first few to adopt GS1 HK’s ezTRADE platform to digitalise transaction records. There is clearly an “innovation genes” in Chewy’s company DNA. “In the old days our products were exported to overseas supermarket, we used barcodes on both the inner and outer box of the packaging for product identification to facilitate overseas trading with global merchants.

Corporate Dynamics

New Products & New Initiative – NFT as Grain Vouchers Chewy’s B2B business has been badly hit under the pandemic by strict social distancing measures in the catering facilities and fluctuating shipments. Therefore, the company has pivoted quickly to B2C market with frozen, instant and healthy food product lines, such as quinoa, red rice, brown rice, and chia seeds. To celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, it has launched limited edition of redeemable NFTs (non-fungible token) serving as grain vouchers. The NFT is of art value and practical use - owners of the NFT are eligible to redeem 100kg of rice in a 10-year period. With an average consumption of 37.2kg of rice per person per year, such amount of rice is enough to feed the owners for 3 years and immune of future rice craze - if any.

Good Relationships with Partners and Employees Lead to Good Business Returning from a business trip in Japan on the date of interview, Diana would be on the road again to Thailand for another meeting with Thai rice merchants after 7 days of quarantine. “Even though we are doing business on daily basis for 2 years, it is still crucial to meet suppliers face-to-face to keep closer ties, so I resumed travelling as soon as the quarantine requirements of those countries are lifted.”

many more milestones in the future.”

Seeing that the pandemic has dealt a blow to different industries, Diana hopes Hong Kong border could be opened soon so international trade can be resumed to normal, aligning with the quarantine-free measures in the international markets. Over time, she expects labour shortage to be a major issue as the industry still relies on manpower to carry out processes like quality check, which is irreplaceable by automation or robotics. In order to further promote re-industrialisation in Hong Kong and attract more investments, the HKSAR Government should provide support not only on capital, but also look into importation of labour and talent issue. 2年多的疫情嚴重打擊各行業,Diana期望香港儘快與國際接軌,取消抵港隔離安排,讓跨

Corporate Dynamics

Promote Western European Culture with Freshly Imported Spanish Food

西班牙直送 以「味」力宣傳西歐文化 Leo Chan

Co-founder of EatGoodSpain

陳志滔

EatGoodSpain 聯合創辦人

Prominent Hong Kong food critic Chua Lam once named Ibérico ham as “one of the must-try food before you die.” Famous for the dynamic energy and heated spirit, the Spanish culture also enchanted EatGoodSpain’s Co-founder Leo Chan, after he paid a visit to the western European nation. “My friend owns a farm in the south of Spain, so I got to taste a lot of local produces fresh from the farm. My friends and I were all in awe of the great taste and price, inspiring us to start importing Spanish food to Hong Kong.” With his experience in trading and fluent spoken Spanish, Leo connected with more Spanish suppliers through his friends, and established EatGoodSpain (EGS) brand in 2016.

Ibérico Ham Different from Parma Ham Knowing that there were just a handful of Spanish food suppliers in Hong Kong, Leo seized the chance and started his B2B business targeting restaurants and bars, benefiting from direct shipments from his business partners’ farm, as well as cheaper rental cost with an upper-floor shop. “Customers would suspect the origin of our Ibérico ham as it’s half the price of those from supermarket chain store, which in fact those products involved listing fee, shop rental cost and other operating expenses.” There are times that customers would inquire about Parma ham. Leo explained that the more-salty Italian Parma ham is normally matured for 12 to 18 months, while Spanish Ibérico ham, with a longer maturation period of 24 to 48 months, has a much darker colour, more even distribution of fat and a rich flavour. “We have been instilling knowledge on Spanish products to our business clients, so they would spread the words to their customers.”

知名本地食家蔡瀾列舉人生必吃的食品,其中之一 是西班牙的黑毛豬火腿。西班牙的熱情和魅力令人

著迷,食好西班牙(EatGoodSpain,簡稱EGS)

聯合創辦人陳志滔(Leo)就因為一次與朋友的西 班牙深度遊,與這個西歐大國結下不解緣。 「朋友在

後便誕下將西班牙美食引入香港的念頭。」本身從 事進出口貿易的Leo懂西班文,透過朋友認識更多 當地供應商,便與友人於2016年創辦EGS品牌。

西班牙意大利 火腿大不同

香港的西班牙食品供應商寥寥可數,Leo覷見商

機,便乘當地朋友關係、原產地直送、樓上舖租金 便宜的優勢開業,首先打開餐廳酒吧等B2B巿場。

「開店初期,有顧客留意到我們的西班牙火腿與

food products such as Paté Ibérico, olive, and canned seafood. Some of the products must be repackaged before putting on the shelves at frozen food stores, so GS1 barcodes are necessary. Learning that GS1 barcode is the product listing requirement for e-commerce platforms like Amazon, HKTVMall and Taobao, and also the key for listing on Google Shopping for free, Leo is glad that barcodes evolved with time, helping businesses open up new market and increase product exposure. To capitalise on business opportunities in festive seasons, EGS would launch products like Chinese Turnip Cakes with Ibérico Ham, and partnered with chain retailers for distribution at its 8 stores. The company used paper vouchers for redemption before, yet found that

善用科技 推廣美味

除火腿外,EGS有賣黑毛豬肝醬、橄欖、海鮮罐頭 等10多款傳統西班牙食品,有些來貨需要重新包 裝才推出巿面,自然亦要GS1產品條碼才能在凍

Corporate Dynamics

Keeping Business Afloat is Harder than Starting One Before the pandemic outbreak, EGS supplied to close to 100 catering outlets and bars in Hong Kong, accounting for 70% of its business with millions in revenue. However, the closure of restaurants and bars during COVID-19 had caused their B2B sales to plummet by almost 90%. Leo thus quickly pivoted to the B2C market, “We were able to recover a large part of our business thanks to the higher profit margin from the consumer market, contrary to the low-margin B2B business.” EGS leverages different sales channels to promote its products. On top of its own web store, it also partners with HKTVmall and other delivery platforms such as pandamart and pop-up store opportunities. Its pasta, salad and condiment products are also listed on Deliveroo Kitchen to further increase market exposure. EGS has previously organised food tasting events, cooking classes, catering services, and cultural trainings for companies, and provided group purchase discounts for their employees. With the economy slowly recovering, Leo is looking forward to resuming these activities. As most Chinese attach great importance to food, EGS hopes to build its brand around Spanish food and continue to introduce more unique Spanish items that help promote the foreign culture to the locals.

開業難 守業更難

直至疫情前,EGS會供貨予全港逾100間餐廳和

酒吧,佔7成生意額、每年貢獻7位數字收入。食肆

酒吧關閉令公司B2B銷量大跌9成,Leo唯有即時

轉型擴大B2C巿場, 「B2B巿場是薄利多銷,每件

貨的利潤不多,而消費巿場的利潤可多一倍,所以 在積極轉型期間都算收復大部份失地。」

現時公司會儘可能爭取各式渠道銷售,由自家網

店、HKTVMall、pandamart外賣平台、快閃巿集, 以至在Deliveroo外賣舖放置意粉、沙律、配料等

產品寄賣,務求增加巿場嚗光。公司過往會為不同

機構舉辦試食會、菜式製作班、美食到會、文化培

訓等,並為大企業提供團購優惠,現時巿道回穩, Leo正積極籌劃復辦活動。

民以食為天,EGS先以西班牙食品打響名堂,未來

會陸續引入更多西班牙特色產品,冀將西班牙文 化發揚光大。

面對逆境,Leo苦笑稱政府抗疫基金資助當然是 is concerned that other subsidies such as the Technology Voucher 「有好過無」 ,但其他如科技券等資助卻要等1年至 Programme could not help the small business in need because the 年半才真正「落袋」 ,慨嘆遠水不能救近火,中小企 Leo welcomed the Anti-epidemic Fund from the Government, but he

funding takes a long time for approval. With the Government’s

“place-specific flight suspension mechanism” still in force on the date of the interview, Leo expressed that the product import cost of his products have surged 50% to nearly a double. Therefore, he hoped the travel ban and flight schedule can go back to normal as soon as possible, so business owners can better manage the costs and benefit from it.

15

唯有自強。訪問當日,特區政府維持「航班熔斷機

制」等措施,Leo稱其時產品入口運費飆升5成至1

倍,最期望政府能儘快將航運復常、讓成本回調, 才能利好生意。

The Key to a Golden Gate of Trade – Product Barcodes 打通黃金貿易大門的鑰匙 ‒ 產品條碼

DHL Global Forwarding predicted that port congestion is going to

ease in 2023, but global supply chains are not expected to go back to 2019 level. Steven Beck, Head of Trade and Supply Chain Finance at the Asian Development Bank (ADB) believes that greater use of barcodes can improve global supply chain operation.

Look around you. How many barcodes are within your reach? Three? Four? The ubiquitous barcodes (GTIN) are not only the must-have elements for online and physical retail, but also identification standards used in supply chains to increase transparency, making trade more efficient, sustainable and inclusive for industries. The adoption of GS1 Standards can also fix problems within supply chains, resulting in less red tape and hassle for smaller companies at borders. However, only 25% of Asia and Pacific economies have either adopted the GS1 standards at their borders or are actively considering adoption. International organisations acknowledge the power of global standards in supply chain digitalisation:

多個國際機構認同全球標準是數碼化供應鏈的 基礎:

Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) agreed that “the use of standardized codes will enable information about traded goods to be easily understood and shared by all parties”, therefore they encouraged APEC economies to promote wider use of global data standards. Benefits of global standards in cross-border trade were also proven in various APEC GDS (Global Data Standards) projects managed by GS1 HK, for example, the adoption of GDS on critical sea freight data exchange between port operators in the APEC region including Shanghai, Xiamen, Hong Kong China, Singapore, and Australia have helped to enhance visibility, integrity and transparency of e-Ports. 亞太經濟合作組織(APEC)達成共識,同意「使用標準化編碼可讓各方更容易理解和分享貨物貿易資訊」 ,故鼓勵APEC成員國 應用全球標準。

多個由GS1 HK主導的APEC GDS(全球數據標準)項目亦引證了全球標準對跨境貿易帶來的效益,例如是於APEC區內港口 營運者如上海、廈門、中國香港、新加坡、澳洲的航運關鍵數據交換上應用全球數據標準(GDS),提升了電子港口的可視化、一 致性和透明度。

In China, the time to declare an import of goods has reduced from 20 minutes to only 10 seconds 中國在使用「憑碼申報」後,進口貨物報關時長 從20分鐘縮短到10秒 China Customs are leveraging barcodes to enable standardised and effective customs declaration. As GS1 China’s product database is connected with China customs via GTIN, enterprises can complete customs declaration with GTIN, then China Customs can use “intelligent auto-fill” function to obtain product information within a second to facilitate customs clearance. GS1 China can also query GS1 HK’s BarcodePlus platform to obtain product information whenever applicable, therefore HK companies can also enjoy faster and more convenient customs declaration with barcodes when importing products to China.

企業也可以享用便捷的「憑碼申報」申報功能,將產 品進口中國。

From Jan 1st, 2022, China Customs will require GTIN (barcodes) as a mandatory field for the import of 6 types of products, including infant food, wheaten food, biscuit, beer, imported wines & liquors, cosmetics etc. Merchants exporting such products to China must adopt barcodes on products. 由2022年1月1日起,中國海關對6類進口產品報關增設條碼(GTIN)為必填欄目。若商家希望將嬰 幼兒食品、麵食、餅乾、啤酒、洋酒、化妝品等商品進口中國,就需於產品上應用條碼,便利申報。 For HK companies who have already adopted barcodes on products, product data shall be uploaded to GS1 HK BarcodePlus platform to enable GTIN (barcodes) for customs clearance & ensure data accuracy.

WTO & WEF Encourage Adoption of Global Standards & Technologies in Trade To facilitate global trade digitalisation and ease supply chain bottlenecks, the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Economic Forum (WEF) launched a new report "The promise of TradeTech: Policy approaches to harness trade digitalization", which include recommendations to make global trade more efficient, inclusive and sustainable via global standards and technologies.

物流不可或缺。中國更因應疫情防控,強化了冷鏈 物流要求及規範,令冷鏈管理需求更強勁。

further drives the demand for cold chain management.

Besides agricultural products and processed foods, cold chain is used in high-valued medical supplies, vaccines and special commodities like wine and industrial spare parts, covering upstream to downstream supply chain from production, loading and transportation, processing and distribution, and last-mile delivery, etc. 除了農產品、加工食品,冷鏈亦適用於高價值醫療物品、疫苗和特殊商品(如葡萄 酒、工業用的精密零件)等;範圍涵蓋由生產、裝卸運輸、加工分銷、以至送到消費者 等上下游的供應鏈環節。

They are easy to implement for all kinds of budget. 不複雜,香港已有非常先進的冷鏈管理系統,例如透過放在物流單位的無線射頻 識別(RFID)標籤、全球定位系統(GPS)、感應器及雲端追溯平台等,實時監察貨 品在不同位置的溫度及濕度,並與貿易夥伴分享;不難實踐亦豐儉由人。

cold chain opportunity 3. Isthriving in Hong Kong?

As online shopping for foods like fruits and frozen foods prevails, coupled with the rising demands for vaccine and special pharmaceutical products, the cold chain business is escalating. According to China Cold Chain Logistics Development Report 2020, the average wastage of fresh produce in China was reported at 10%, whereas it’s reported at below 5% in Europe and the US. Hong Kong cold chain industry and practitioner are in a unique position to support Mainland China with their experience and higher service quality. 網購新鮮食品發展蓬勃,水果、冷藏食品等消費有增無減,而疫苗及特別醫療 品等的需求亦與日俱增,增加冷鏈商機。據《2020年中國冷鏈物流行業發展報告》 指,目前中國生鮮產品的平均損耗率是10%以上,但歐美國家的損耗率控制在5% 之下,代表內地冷鏈運輸行業質量有待提升,而香港冷鏈物流業界大可憑藉經驗 和服務質素打入內地市場。
