01. Pain point: Too many disconnected office tools, leading to low collaboration efficiency
Manufacturers typically use multiple office applications at the same time: business management systems, internal IM tools, enterprise cloud drives, Office suites, and ERP systems. Employees must switch back and forth between these tools during their daily work, which creates a steep learning curve. Solution: Use DingTalk Docs to combine efficiency with security DingTalk Docs includes documents, spreadsheets, mind maps, team spaces, and other applications. It meets the needs of enterprises for efficient multi-user collaboration and permission control, balancing both efficiency and security.- Multi-device support: view and edit on computers, phones, and tablets.

- Multiple users from different locations and departments can collaborate on a document at the same time for greater efficiency.
- Share documents to chats with a single link for fast collaboration.
- Insert 50+ types of elements in a single document, enabling immersive creation without switching tools.
- Comprehensive enterprise permission management protects company assets.
- Tightly integrated with DingTalk: no separate download required, and accessible directly from DingTalk for efficient collaboration.
02. Pain point: Weak data security control puts company assets at risk
In traditional manufacturing workflows, data assets are easily forwarded externally and security is often hard to guarantee. Many companies have not yet built awareness of data asset security. A large amount of critical and confidential information is scattered on individual employee devices without any risk control. Employees can take or destroy these important materials at any time, which can easily lead to leaks or losses of internal files and significant damage to the enterprise. Solution: All-around security control to protect enterprise assets DingTalk Docs is committed to providing professional and secure document services for enterprises, with comprehensive permission control and security settings. It safeguards the creation, circulation, and accumulation of document data across the three stages of collaboration: before, during, and after.- Before sharing: flexible permission settings
- During collaboration: complete editing history The full activity and editing history is preserved during document editing, making changes fully traceable and ensuring accountability for document content.
- After sharing: traceability of actions
03. Pain point: Complex business processes, difficult collaboration, and diverse document use cases
Manufacturing is a relatively traditional industry with highly complex operations. Beyond basic functions such as administration, HR, and marketing, it also involves many traditional offline scenarios such as factory assembly lines, workshop operations, and inventory and procurement management. Solution: Cover a wide range of collaboration scenarios to meet diverse document needs👨🏫 Talent development
Employees seek opportunities to grow. Most manufacturers set up reading corners in the office, but books alone are not enough. Continuous training combined with business insights is needed to comprehensively improve employee capabilities. If a company’s content assets are scattered and unorganized, training materials and valuable resources are not effectively preserved, which is a significant loss. HR leaders can use a DingTalk Docs team space to build an “online library” for the company, bringing together all kinds of training materials and business insights for employees to access and learn from anytime, anywhere. Even if they miss in-person training, employees can study online whenever they want. Comments can also be used to discuss articles and paragraphs within the space, bringing ideas together in the cloud.📖 Production management
Production in manufacturing often requires multiple shifts, relying on admins to arrange schedules. With DingTalk Docs, a single spreadsheet gets the job done quickly. Admins no longer need to ask each employee individually or consolidate multiple Excel files. Employees can fill in their availability on the same DingTalk spreadsheet, and admins can plan and schedule centrally once everyone has finished.🏭 Quality inspection and progress management
Quality inspection ensures product quality and is crucial in manufacturing. It often involves frequent cross-regional and cross-departmental work, with high-frequency data collection and analysis needs. DingTalk Docs makes cross-regional and cross-departmental data collection and analysis effortless. In traditional manufacturing, workshop report data had to be collected on-site every day, which was inefficient and resulted in delayed data. With DingTalk Docs, simply post a QR code for the spreadsheet in the workshop to enable millisecond-level data collection for far greater efficiency. You can also use DingTalk Docs to create production plans, collaborate with multiple parties to track progress, identify issues in a timely manner, resolve scheduling problems, and keep production running efficiently. 💰 Inventory and supply chain management DingTalk Docs offers 400+ professional formulas and supports collaborative editing by 500+ users. Order management, inventory management, sales progress tracking, and more can be handled efficiently in a single spreadsheet. 👨💻 Procurement management Procurement management involves frequent external price inquiries and communications, requires control and traceability across the procurement process, and centralizes management of large volumes of procurement items and supplier information. Many enterprises still rely heavily on manual processes. With DingTalk Docs, multiple people can collaborate in real time and track procurement together. This ensures timely data updates while preserving all procurement process information.04. Pain point: Production materials are scattered with little accumulation
Traditional office software lacks multi-user collaboration, multi-device synchronization, and cloud storage capabilities. This results in fragmented production and operational materials, with duplicate, missing, or overlooked content. Without a unified content asset management platform, departmental materials become disorganized, hard to find, and easy to lose, creating information silos and gaps. For example, the same issues may keep appearing across different customer stories, supplier ratings may fail to improve, workshop employees may work overtime yet PMC daily plans remain unfinished, and non-urgent inventory may pile up in warehouses. Effectively managing production experience so that knowledge accumulates and circulates is a critical challenge for most enterprises. Solution: Manage production materials effectively and let knowledge accumulation drive growth Team space is the professional and efficient enterprise knowledge management platform within DingTalk Docs. Use it to build an enterprise knowledge base and enable internal document collaboration. It is easy to operate: after an admin adds users, content can be shared with multiple people and synchronized in real time, allowing team members to record all collaborative output.- Supports content creation in multiple formats, including documents, spreadsheets, and mind maps.
- Existing local documents can be imported into a team space with one click for unified management.
- A table of contents tree structure displays content, making it easier to continuously update, iterate, present, and read.
- Comprehensive permission and security management protects enterprise knowledge assets.
