With the continuous expansion of business scale, many building materials chain enterprises are actively adopting digital management tools and systems in order to realize digital transformation and enhance the competitiveness of the industry. These tools include Kingdee, UFIDA, Pan Micro, Blue Whale, etc., covering a number of key areas such as chain store sales and financial management. At the same time, facing the growing demand for cross-regional operations, many enterprises are also urgently looking for a set of secure and efficient IT solutions to solve the data access and system management challenges in business scenarios scattered in different stores and factories.

For example, Chongqing Dachuan Hongchuang Industrial Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive building materials enterprise integrating R & D, manufacturing and chain store sales. The company has the "Dachuan Gate" brand founded in 1988, launched more than 10 varieties, more than 30 series of door and window products, and won more than 10 invention patents. At present, Okawa Hongchuang has a number of large-scale production bases and hundreds of franchise institutions in more than 30 cities across the country. In the process of enterprise development and operation, encountered the following challenges:

Challenge 1: How to ensure secure remote access to store sales and financial data?

After the introduction of the chain store sales and financial management system, in order to ensure the safety of chain store sales and financial data, the company deployed the store sales and financial system involving business operations in the company's intranet environment, making it impossible for outsiders to directly access and obtain these sensitive data. In this way, although it effectively avoids the information leakage caused by unauthorized access and the high risk of cyber attacks, it also limits the remote access and collaborative office of chain stores and factories everywhere.

Challenge 2: Traditional VPN solutions are expensive, complex to deploy, and difficult to afford with limited budgets

Although the traditional VPN scheme can realize secure remote access to the intranet system, the dedicated VPN network router/gateway is expensive, with one device costing thousands of yuan, and the whole scheme may be as high as tens of thousands of yuan. In addition, the complicated deployment process and high requirements on the network environment (for example, the high-cost operator dedicated line, fixed public network IP, etc.) are difficult to bear within the limited budget.

Challenge 3:IT operation and maintenance team is limited in size, and it is difficult to carry out a large number of on-site operation and maintenance efficiently.

At the same time, the enterprise IT operation and maintenance team is small in scale and limited in number of personnel. A large number of chain stores and factories scattered around the country need to be managed. Problems encountered in traditional VPN solutions often require IT personnel to solve on site. Under the condition of limited number of personnel, it is difficult to efficiently support the daily operation and maintenance needs of building materials chain stores and factories around the country, which is easy to affect business operations.
