Third, enhance offline service capabilities and enhance user experience

According to the final ruling of the U.S. Department of Commerce in June this year, Chinese manufacturers will be subject to anti-dumping duties of 14.35% to 87.99% and anti-subsidy duties of 20.73% to 100.77%. After 10 years of rapid development, China's tire industry is falling into an unprecedented trough. Under the “Internet” thinking, the establishment of a one-stop service platform for the whole industry chain or supply chain system of tire companies may be a way to resolve excess capacity.

Reducing the waste of social resources and improving social efficiency is an inevitable trend in the development of the Internet and is also the main reason for the rapid development of the e-commerce industry.

Just as the Michelin Group has signed an agreement with TIE Kinetix to expand its online planning programs for its distributors and retailers in order to leverage the company’s demand generation solution so that distributors can provide the highest quality user experience on their websites, Its sales conversion is maximized.

Unlike tires and other goods, it is not a product that arrives at home. Tires are large and heavy and require professionals to install them through specialized equipment. Therefore, regardless of the purchase route, consumers must return to the tire shop to receive services. Only by making fine offline services and improving user experience, can we go further in the e-commerce road.
