At 2 a.m., a variable-pitch system failure suddenly occurred at a wind farm in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia. The on-site manager searched through his contact list and made 21 phone calls, but this problem was pushed aside by 5 suppliers just because of an uncommon bolt model. Scenarios of this kind emerge in the wind power industry every day - "It takes a long time to purchase spare parts, it's easy to make mistakes in model matching, and no one takes small or urgent orders". The process is not only a waste of time, but also real losses in power generation.
In response to the industry's headaches that have long existed under traditional procurement pattern, such as complex spare part models, scattered supply chains, high communication costs, and long procurement cycle, WINDEY officially launched the smart matchmaking e-commerce platform "Zero Carbon GO" (iwindstore.com) recently. Focusing on the entire industrial chain of wind power, the platform takes "Full Categories, High Efficiency, Strong Guarantee" as its core competitiveness, and it is capable of simultaneously providing one-stop material procurement solutions for wind farm operators, EPC general contractors, operation maintenance service providers, and equipment manufacturers.
[Accurate Sourcing in 3 Minutes, Procurement Efficiency Up by More Than 60%]
As a vertical e-commerce platform independently run by WINDEY, "Zero Carbon GO" has a very clear positioning: what the industry needs is trust rather than redundant intermediaries. Based on WINDEY's industrial chain planning, this platform is launched, with a view to erecting a transparent and secure bridge for matchmaking of supplies and demands among small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in new energy such as wind power and PV.
Herein, matchmaking, in short, comes down to four words: saving time and money!
Take the procurement of gearbox bolts as an example:
? Traditional pattern: Purchasers need to contact 5 - 8 suppliers for price comparison, which takes 2 - 3 days and there is still a risk of mismatching;
? “Zero Carbon GO” pattern: Enter the equipment model and receive quotation plans from multiple compliant suppliers within 3 minutes, including logistics timeliness and historical reference prices. The improvement in efficiency is obvious.
As the core function of the first phase, "Zero Carbon GO" can integrate the scattered spare part model libraries into a standardized database. In addition, it gathers the resources of hundreds of premium suppliers of WINDEY to launch more than 5,000 SKUs in the first batch, which cover eight core categories such as power electronics, mechanical consumables, fastening and sealing, and tool protection. As a result, a "3-minute Accurate Sourcing Network" for all scenarios of wind power operation maintenance is established, which can help enterprises increase their procurement efficiency by at least 60%.
[Four-Dimensional Security System, Worry-Free and Secure]
Relying on WINDEY's years of industrial practices in the new energy field, the platform is committed to resolving the industry's three core problems (namely difficult technical matchmaking, high trading risks, and great financial pressure), and providing reassured services for both buyers and sellers throughout the process.
24-Hour Wind Power "Emergency Room"
- 7×24-hour butler service: Respond to the urgent request for purchase of spare parts within 30 minutes;
- Online diagnosis by technical experts: Respond for system failures within 60 minutes, and quickly resolve abnormalities;
- On-site support by technical teams: Design transformation schemes for wind turbine generator sets, and evaluate the life extension of used wind turbines;
Worry-free and secure purchase
The four-dimensional security system helps guarantee material transactions, realize a short payment period of 30 days, and make each purchase traceable, verifiable, and guaranteed.
["Wind Power Paradigm + Multi-Energy Expansion", a Promising Future]
“Zero Carbon GO" is not only a procurement tool, but also the digital foundation for WINDEY's industrial coordination and innovation. In the future, WINDEY will keep upgrading the intelligent recommendation algorithm and the industrial big data model, deeply exploit the value of wind power operation data, continuously optimize the functions of the e-commerce platform, and build a comprehensive service platform covering multiple sectors such as material sales, manpower and technical services, vehicle transportation and scheduling, and financial insurance. It will become the core hub that bolsters the new energy market.
? Horizontal expansion: In 2025, the platform will provide access to photovoltaic inverter, energy storage battery system, and power transmission and transformation equipment etc;
? Vertical exploitation: Develop the centralized procurement module for EPC project auxiliary materials as well as the carbon footprint tracking system;
? Ecological empowerment: Build the industry's Internet infrastructure through value-added services such as supply chain finance, shared warehousing, and smart logistics.
