Dependent on external procurement of ice cream bars, small businesses often have to bear high cost pressure. Raw materials, processing, transport, intermediary price differentials, and other layers of superposition seriously compressed profit margins. With the introduction of the ice cream bar machine, enterprises can directly interface with the timber supplier to reduce the unit price of raw materials with the advantage of bulk purchasing. At the same time, the production process can accurately control the use of wood and reduce waste, for example, through the optimisation of platoon cutting, the wood utilization rate can be increased by 15%-20%. In the long run, not only can we recover the cost of equipment quickly, but also increase the profit per unit of product by more than 30%, creating more profitability for the enterprise.
The ice cream market's off-peak season is clear; peak season orders surge, and production efficiency determines whether the enterprise can seize the business opportunities. An ice cream stick machine with automated production process, can produce thousands of ice cream sticks per hour, compared with artificial production efficiency increased tens of times. After a small ice cream company introduced the equipment, the daily output in peak season increased from 50,000 to 150,000 sticks, not only completing customer orders on time, but also winning more long-term cooperation opportunities due to timely delivery, and steadily increasing market share.
Consumers are more and more concerned about the quality of the product, a poor quality ice cream stick may affect the consumer experience of the whole ice cream. Through standardised production, the ice cream bar machine ensures that the size error of each ice cream bar is controlled in a very small range, the surface is smooth and burr-free, and the wood density is uniform. Stable product quality can enhance consumer trust in the brand, help enterprises to establish a good reputation in the market, and lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the brand.
Market demand is increasingly diversified, personalised products are more likely to attract consumers. Ice cream stick machine supports rapid replacement of moulds, whether it is a common rectangular stick, or creative animal shapes, letter pattern stick, can be easily produced. Small businesses can use this to launch customised products to meet different customer needs, such as customised cartoon image ice cream bars for children's parks, customised for corporate events printed with the LOGO's exclusive stick, expanding the business boundaries, enhance market competitiveness.
Artificial production of ice cream bars is not only inefficient, but also face rising labour costs, staff mobility, and other issues. Ice-cream bar machine is highly automated, with only a few employees are responsible for equipment monitoring, adding raw materials and quality testing, which can reduce more than 70% of labour input. Enterprises can save manpower deployment to product development, marketing, and other core processes, to achieve efficient use of human resources, and to enhance the overall operational efficiency of the enterprise.
In a fast-paced business environment, the speed of order delivery directly affects customer satisfaction. Ice cream bar machine production cycle is short, can quickly respond to customer orders. For urgent orders, companies do not need to worry about delayed delivery due to waiting for external supply, to meet customer demand in a timely manner, enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty, for the enterprise to accumulate a good market reputation.
External procurement, in order to avoid the risk of stock-outs, enterprises often need to reserve a large amount of inventory, taking up a lot of money and storage space. After owning the ice cream bar machine, enterprises can flexibly arrange production according to the demand of the order to achieve ‘production by sales’ and reduce the risk of inventory backlog. Reduced inventory costs can be used for other production and business activities of the enterprise, improve the efficiency of capital use, so that the enterprise capital turnover becomes more flexible.
The diverse functions of the ice cream bar machine provide support for enterprise innovation. As consumers pay more attention to environmental protection and health, enterprises can use the equipment to produce biodegradable and natural material ice cream bars, following the industry trend. In addition, it can also create differentiated products by adding creative designs on the ice-cream stick, such as glow-in-the-dark elements, edible ink patterns, etc., to enhance the enterprise's innovation ability and stand out in the market competition.
Having an ice cream bar machine means that the enterprise extends to the upstream of the industrial chain, forming a complete chain from the procurement of raw materials to the production of finished products. This not only reduces the risk of unstable external supply, such as fluctuations in raw material prices, supplier cut-off, etc., but also enhances the enterprise's ability to control the production process as a whole, improves the enterprise's anti-risk ability in market fluctuations, and achieves stable development.
In order to encourage enterprises to innovate independently and improve production efficiency, governments around the world have introduced a series of support policies. Small enterprises acquiring advanced production equipment such as ice cream bar machines, may be eligible for policy subsidies
