Analysis of Pain Points in the Shower Room Industry The biggest characteristic of the shower room industry is customization. Because each home's bathroom space is different, shower rooms need to be customized one-to-one according to specific dimensions and layouts. To ensure product quality and user experience, shower room production requires refined and specialized processes. Every step, from design and material selection to testing and assembly, is crucial. As a thriving segment of the home furnishing industry, the shower room sector involves a wide variety of materials, commonly including glass, plastic, aluminum alloy, tiles, marble, and rubber strips. It shares many management similarities with the system doors and windows industry in product customization, quality control, supply chain management, and technical processes, making it a blue ocean market growing alongside it.

To solve the safety problems caused by spontaneous glass breakage in shower rooms, Kating developed laminated glass shower rooms designed specifically for safe bathing. Kating's laminated glass shower rooms use a self-developed "composite core technology," embedding a super-strong EVA tough polymer film between two pieces of high-strength tempered glass and bonding them through heating and pressurization to form composite-core glass, which has excellent impact resistance.

Kating Shower Room Digital Project Closure At the project closure meeting, General Manager Lin of Kating said: "When the project just started, I had many worries. Along the way, four small software systems we had previously adopted all failed. There were no successful precedents in the industry, and everyone considered only doing one part rather than connecting all departments. After going live with the Soonfor system, all of our operational channels were opened up, fully connecting us from the supply side to the client side, and there is still great room for upgrades in the future. This was beyond what I expected. Why can we still achieve such strong growth when other companies are struggling? Such a reborn change is due to the contributions of the team members. During project execution, not a single person on the project team was lost. This spirit of persistence is truly admirable. We also thank the Soonfor team for their professionalism and dedication, which enabled the project to close perfectly beyond expectations. In the future, if our enterprise wants to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and survive, digitalization is definitely the trend. Without doing this, it will be hard to survive."
