[0002] Chain supermarkets are a common form of chain operation in the retail industry. They exist to provide people with a variety of goods, and their establishment provides a lot of convenience for people's daily life. When consumers choose supermarkets for consumption, they usually consider whether the variety of goods is complete, whether the price is reasonable, the quality of goods and the credibility of the supermarket. The solution to these problems is inseparable from the level of informatization of chain supermarkets, and is closely related to whether the chain supermarket has an efficient distribution center. Small profits but quick turnover is one of the main business characteristics of supermarkets. Low-price sales can achieve large-scale operation of supermarkets, and can achieve and speed up turnover, so that supermarkets can form a virtuous cycle of "low price, popularization, chain, mass production, low cost and high efficiency". However, with the increasing development of the retail industry, chain supermarkets have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain, appearing in all streets and alleys, and market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, so a simple price war can only damage the interests of merchants more.
