On October 20, 2025, in the ancient capital of Xi'an, on a land where history and modernity converge, an intellectual feast concerning the future destiny of China's home furnishing industry quietly began.

The Digital Exploration study tour, jointly hosted by Soonfor Software and Nanyang Dike, brought together industry leaders, strategic decision-makers, and digital pioneers from across the country. Through the four dimensions of seeking the way, hands-on practice, empowerment, and long-term vision, it launched a high-end closed-door learning journey that integrated strategic insight, practical verification, and ecosystem co-building.

This was not only a corporate visit, but also a profound reflection on organizational evolution, technological reconstruction, and value reshaping. It went beyond the traditional form of a study tour and built an advanced dialogue platform for resonant thinking, mutual verification of knowledge and action, and joint ecosystem progress.

PART 01 Seeking the Way

Brewing Digitalization over Tea, Opening New Thinking with Intelligence

The event opened in the highly Eastern philosophical format of brewing digitalization over tea. Home furnishing entrepreneurs sat together and engaged in deep reflection amid the fragrance of tea.

Why is it so difficult for most enterprises to succeed in digital transformation at one attempt?

As the industry continues to face intense internal competition, where is the breakthrough point for home furnishing enterprises?

How many gaps truly lie between top-level design and effective execution?

...

These are exactly the questions many entrepreneurs are thinking about.

In a relaxed yet profound atmosphere, Hao Yan, vice president of Nanyang Dike, delivered the opening speech. She emphasized that digitalization is not a multiple-choice question, but a compulsory question tied to survival. She pointed out that today's competition has been elevated from products and channels to a comprehensive contest of system capabilities and organizational agility.

Professor Zhang Aiguo, chairman of Soonfor Software and an authoritative expert in home furnishing digitalization, delivered a themed sharing session titled Top-Level Thinking for Digital Transformation. From a strategic perspective, he analyzed the underlying logic of transformation and pointed out that enterprises must first develop a digital-intelligence mindset before they can build real digital competitiveness.

This top-level industry dialogue turned digitalization from a cold technical issue into a strategic consensus concerning enterprise survival and development. Entrepreneurs listened attentively, took notes with focus, and created a strong learning atmosphere.

PART 02 Hands-on Practice

Entering the Benchmark, Making Intelligent Manufacturing Visible

What is learned from books always feels shallow, and true understanding requires hands-on practice.

The participants entered the intelligent manufacturing base of Nanyang Dike, a modern benchmark factory deeply integrating Eastern craftsmanship with Industry 4.0. There were no flashy display walls here, only truly flowing data streams, real-time electronic dashboards, and precise, traceable digital marks behind every process. Here, the entrepreneurs began a digital exploration journey of zero-distance perception of intelligent manufacturing, something they could truly see and touch.

In the clean and orderly modern workshop, everyone observed on site the full digital closed loop from customer order intake, intelligent order splitting, and flexible scheduling to automatic edge banding, intelligent sorting, and logistics tracking. The entrepreneurs stopped in front of the MES system terminal, personally scanned codes to trace the full life cycle of a piece of wood, and experienced the beauty of coordination in which one command drives thousands of devices.

This immersive visit not only demonstrated the hard-core strength of Nanyang Dike as a digital benchmark enterprise in the home furnishing industry, but also explained in a vivid and tangible way that digitalization is not an unattainable concept, but a systematic transformation rooted in the front line, serving business, and capable of being replicated and implemented. Many participants sighed with emotion, saying that intelligent manufacturing could be this practical and that this was exactly the kind of transformation model they wanted to see.

In the Nanyang Dike showroom, the entrepreneurs saw the beauty of Nanyang Dike's products and felt the craftsmanship and charm of Chinese-style furniture. Carefully selected materials and designs that integrate traditional aesthetics with modern functionality revealed Eastern life philosophy everywhere.

PART 03 Empowerment

Decoding the Path and Delivering Real Results

Inspiration from ideas needs methodological support, and the realization of vision depends on replicable paths.

Teacher Ma from Soonfor Software shared the topic Zero-Cost Implementation of Nanyang Dike's Digital Transformation in a clear and accessible way, explaining Nanyang Dike's innovative practices and successful experience in digital transformation. Covering key links such as strategic planning, system architecture, process optimization, and implementation paths, the sharing revealed how enterprises can comprehensively improve operational efficiency and transform business models with almost no additional cost, providing a highly valuable reference model for the digital development of home furnishing enterprises.

Hao Yan, vice president of Nanyang Dike, shared the topic Nanyang Dike's Road to Digitalization and Intelligence, presenting the company's strategic layout, practical experience, and staged achievements in digital transformation and intelligent upgrading. She introduced how Nanyang Dike has connected design, production, supply chain, marketing, and service to build an efficient collaborative digital system, while improving efficiency and quality through intelligent manufacturing. She also shared the challenges and responses encountered during transformation, showing the company's vision and practice in promoting high-quality industry development and providing useful reference for the home furnishing industry.

Teacher Ge Xin from Soonfor Software shared the Digital Marketing Growth Model: Jiuwei Cloud Sales, systematically explaining the complete path from traffic acquisition and private-domain operations to precise conversion, building a replicable and sustainable terminal growth closed loop and effectively helping stores improve performance.

The sharing of the three speakers advanced step by step, forming a complete methodological chain from strategic design and organizational change to business growth, and provided the enterprises present with a highly practical transformation roadmap.

PART 03 Long-Term Vision

A Harvest of Wisdom, Opening a New Journey Together

As night fell again, a private cocktail gathering themed Harvest quietly began. The floral arrangements on site were inspired by golden autumn rice ears, symbolizing the settling of ideas and the harvest of wisdom.

Wu Fuxiang, president of Nanyang Dike, shared the company's view of digital development face to face. He said that digitalization is not about spending money to install systems, but about thoroughly reconstructing the organization, processes, and customer relationships. Every step they have taken is intended to leave footprints the industry can learn from. He frankly stated that true transformation is about turning every employee from a passive executor into an active creator, and every customer from a transaction object into a co-creator of value.

As a long-term promoter of digital transformation in the home furnishing industry, Soonfor Software has partnered with Nanyang Dike to create a new model of immersive study tour plus benchmark practice plus methodological output, which is becoming a new paradigm for driving industrial change. As Professor Zhang Aiguo's Exploration Review course came to an end, this event concluded successfully. But this was not the end, it was the starting point of an industry awakening.

From the inspiration of top-level thinking, to on-site witnessing of the benchmark factory, and then to the systematic empowerment of transformation methods, this digital exploration journey completed a full closed loop of cognitive upgrading, practical verification, methodological output, and ecosystem co-building. It was more than a study tour, it was an industry-level reconstruction of understanding.

Digital transformation is an expedition without an end point, but every gathering of wisdom lights a beacon for the industry to move forward. We look forward to the next gathering and to jointly writing an even more brilliant new digital chapter for the home furnishing industry.
