3、Before the Competition

Our team needed to help companies gain business opportunities using artificial intelligence based on pain points in their lives within a day. In the morning, we carried out the first task - empathy writing - to sort out the target customers and unmet needs for the specific situation of SMEs, and analyze the long-term development space and business value. What are the challenges and pain points facing our business? What are our business opportunities? What are his target customers? Are there any unmet needs now? Does he have long-term development space and business value?

4、 the competition officially started

      After Dr. Yan Qiming's detailed introduction, the participating teams started to think and discuss in a tight schedule. Our team's topic is to help manufacturing enterprises solve the pain points of finance and sales, with the development of electronic invoicing, most of the companies don't open paper invoices, however, our domestic financial accounts will still ask for invoices to be printed, and this time, we will encounter a variety of problems in printing invoices. This time we will encounter a variety of printing invoice problems. For example, we live in the hotel on business invoices, we encountered the front desk is an older aunt, will not develop invoices, said later to you, we are in a hurry because of the trip, we have no choice but to add microblogging, waiting for aunts to slowly send to the company, which not only wastes time and also requires more expenses, the two sides do not have a good sense of experience. There is also a gas station invoicing is also very slow, gas station refueling traffic, vehicles need to flow quickly, sometimes invoicing a lot of people need time to slowly queue up invoices, and at the same time outside the car horns screaming all the time, to give people a sense of experience is not very good. In addition to go to the supermarket shopping, hospital reimbursement invoicing, financial companies need to print electronic invoices, these are the existence of printing invoices in our lives the inconvenience and pain points.

5、 Competition in progress

      The afternoon is referred to as the "closed-door meeting", we need to discuss solutions to the pain points listed in the morning, and our mentor will also give us some cases for reference. Based on the pain points in the morning, we need to show the solution through the canvas, including the specific business value, costing, and feasibility of the program! Finally, a member of our team was assigned to explain and present the solution on the canvas. The presentation was unique - a closed-door session where each team performed live and the mentor asked questions and we answered them. For example, the mentor asked: Why should I buy your product as a hotel? At this time, our team members from the customer experience and labor saving point of view, detailed to the judges to do the elaboration.
