This week, DaShenLin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dashenlin"), a leading enterprise in pharmaceutical retail, officially signed a contract with AlphaFlow Technologies. The company will adopt the AI-driven AlphaFlow Full-Process Platform, starting with the chain multi-store franchise establishment process as a pilot. This initiative aims to build a full-lifecycle digital process platform encompassing process governance, execution, automation, integration, and optimization.
Founded in 1999, Dashenlin has grown over more than twenty years with pharmacy chain operations at its core. It has established an extensive market network nationwide, covering 21 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities including Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Henan, Hebei, and Fujian.
Efficiency Innovation: Intelligent Processes Support Franchise Expansion in the "Ten-Thousand Store Era"
As of September 2025, Dashenlin's total number of stores has reached 17,385, ranking first in the pharmacy retail industry in terms of both sales volume and store count. Under the large-scale competitive landscape of the "Ten-Thousand Store Era," building an efficient franchise establishment system has become a core support for increasing market share within individual provinces. Facing management challenges brought by rapid expansion, Dashenlin focuses on three key issues:
With tens of thousands of stores nationwide, how to break down information silos between departments and regions, integrating decentralized establishment tasks into standardized, visual, and efficient collaborative processes through a unified digital platform?
From product allocation accounting to inventory digestion, how to establish a fully transparent franchise mechanism to enhance franchisee trust and significantly shorten the signing cycle?
How to implement real-time control over key indicators such as establishment progress, compliant operations, and staffing of franchise stores nationwide, achieving early warning and proactive management?
By systematically addressing these core issues, Dashenlin is committed to transforming its franchise establishment process into an efficient, trustworthy, and controllable competitive advantage, laying a more solid operational foundation for the brand during continuous expansion.
To better solve the aforementioned management challenges during its ten-thousand-store expansion, Dashenlin, leveraging the AlphaFlow Full-Process Platform, will advance the digital governance and intelligent upgrade of its business processes in three stages, building a complete management closed loop.
With the AlphaFlow EBPA Process Planning and Design Platform, Dashenlin will "manage" the processes that have already been "clarified." It will model and structurally present process assets scattered across various regulations, management systems, and IT systems, building a bridge between core business scenarios and digitalization at the group level.
In the second stage, Dashenlin will use the AlphaFlow BPA platform to build a unified platform for process execution automation and integration. This will connect processes and data between originally independent business systems such as the digital store decoration system and MOM, covering the execution and monitoring of end-to-end processes across all business lines. This makes the entire process of operations management measurable, traceable, and predictable, thereby constructing a core competitive edge for market competition.
Finally, leveraging the analytical mining and visualization capabilities of the AlphaFlow BPI Process Mining Platform, Dashenlin will precisely identify bottlenecks and redundant steps through gap analysis between AS-IS and TO-BE states. This will help uncover issues in end-to-end process execution, providing support for continuous process optimization and achieving data-driven lean process management.
Currently, process management is no longer an optional choice for enterprise development but a compulsory course for chain enterprises to maintain market leadership. With the implementation of this project, future cooperation between Dashenlin and AlphaFlow Technologies is expected to extend from franchise establishment to broader business areas such as supply chain management, inventory optimization, and customer service, driving enterprise-wide efficiency enhancement through process intelligence.
