Thousands of supermarket products, invoice code matching too cumbersome? Kailing Technology's intelligent solution makes efficient invoicing simpler

"The newly listed imported snacks need a special VAT invoice—which 18-digit tax classification code exactly corresponds to them?" "Promotional activities cause invoicing volume to surge, and three finance staff work around the clock yet still do overtime checking codes." "Last month, we were warned by the tax bureau due to code mismatches, and it took half a month of tax supplements and fines."… In the supermarket and trade industry, these invoicing code troubles have long become the daily routine of finance staff. When massive SKUs meet a complex and ever-changing tax code system, the traditional manual matching model is already powerless, and the intelligent invoicing solution launched by Kailing Technology is using technological innovation to solve this industry pain point.

I. Direct pain point: How difficult is the coding dilemma of invoicing for supermarkets?

As the core hub of commodity circulation, supermarkets' operational characteristics determine the complexity of invoicing work. From fresh produce to digital appliances, from daily necessities to imported goods, the number of SKUs often reaches thousands or even tens of thousands, and each product needs to be matched with a unique 18-digit tax classification code, just like issuing a "tax ID card" for each product. Under the traditional model, this matching work relies entirely on manual completion, and the multiple problems it creates leave enterprises overwhelmed.

The wide variety of products leading to extremely low matching efficiency is the primary challenge.Faced with massive cross-category products, finance personnel need to manually query the tax bureau's code library one by one. When encountering new categories or products with similar names, they often need to repeatedly check and confirm, like "fishing a needle out of an ocean of information." A finance head of a chain supermarket once revealed that matching codes for just a batch of 200 new products required two finance personnel to spend an entire day completing it.

High-frequency trading and human error further aggravate the predicament.The centralized invoicing demand brought by scattered transactions at the retail end makes an already tight manual operation pace even worse. More dangerous is that subtle differences in 18-digit codes may correspond to completely different tax rates. Manual operations inevitably lead to visual errors and slips, which not only cause invoices to be voided and reissued, but may also trigger tax risks such as tax supplements and fines due to incorrect tax rate application, bringing unnecessary losses to enterprises.

The dynamic updating of the coding library makes it even harder for enterprises to guard against.Tax authorities regularly update the tax classification code library according to policy adjustments. If enterprises fail to synchronize in time, the use of old codes will directly lead to non-compliant invoicing. Moreover, the commodity management systems and invoicing systems of some supermarkets are disconnected, requiring repeated information entry, which both increases workload and easily causes data inconsistencies, making invoicing complexity "worse."

II. Intelligent breakthrough: Kailing solution reconstructs the entire invoicing process

In response to the core pain points of invoicing in supermarkets and shopping malls, Kailing Technology uses AI intelligent technology as its core to create a one-stop solution covering "data collection - intelligent coding - ultra-fast invoicing - full-chain management," completely changing the traditional model that relies on manual work and turning code matching from "tedious and laborious" into "precise and efficient."

The intelligent coding function has become the key to breaking the deadlock.The Kailing Technology LingShuiTong invoice platform has a built-in powerful AI algorithm engine. Simply enter the product name when invoicing, and the system can automatically and accurately match the corresponding tax classification code and applicable tax rate, with accuracy exceeding 99.9%. This function completely ends the inefficient mode of manually flipping through coding manuals and querying across platforms. Whether it is a single product or a product list of hundreds of lines, one-click batch intelligent matching can be achieved, compressing work that originally took several days into seconds.

Seamless multi-system integration reduces data redundancy from the source.The solution can achieve deep integration with supermarket ERP, OMS, and other business systems. Order, product, settlement, and other information is automatically synchronized to the invoicing pool without manual data transfer, fundamentally solving the problem of system data fragmentation. With high-precision AI OCR recognition technology, the system can also automatically extract key invoice fields such as buyer name, tax number, and amount, instantly generating compliant invoice information, further reducing manual intervention.

Full-process automated operations push invoicing efficiency to a new height.The core invoicing process can be completed in as fast as 3 seconds. According to actual testing, after adopting Kailing Technology's solution, the overall invoicing efficiency of enterprises can be increased by more than 80%, completely breaking free from the constraints of "slow invoicing."

In terms of compliance and security assurance, the solution also performs excellently. The sysThe system synchronizes the latest coding library of the State Taxation Administration in real time to ensure coding always complies with policy requirements and avoids tax risks from the source. At the same time, encryption technology is used across the entire data transmission and storage chain, strictly following industry compliance standards to build a solid security line for sensitive financial data of supermarkets.

III. Proven results: from "overtime as the norm" to "effortless invoicing"

A certain regional chain supermarket with 20 stores had long been plagued by invoicing challenges. The supermarket's daily invoicing volume reaches 5,000 transactions, with over 20,000 product SKUs. Under the traditional model, 3 finance personnel were dedicated to code matching and invoicing work, spending over 4 hours daily, with an invoice error rate as high as 8%. After introducing Kailing Technology's intelligent solution, this situation was completely transformed:

The coding matching step achieves "zero manual work." During batch invoicing, coding verification work has been shortened from 2 hours in the past to 1 minute; invoicing efficiency has greatly improved, requiring only 1 finance staff member for review and confirmation, with average daily invoicing time less than 30 minutes; the invoice error rate has dropped below 0.1%, completely eliminating tax risks caused by coding issues. The supermarket's finance director said: "Now the finance team no longer has to stay up late for invoicing and can devote more energy to core work such as cost control."

Similar transformations are also taking place in many supermarket enterprises. Kailing Technology's intelligent solutions are not only suitable for large chain supermarkets, but can also flexibly adapt to the operating scale of small and medium-sized supermarkets, enabling rapid implementation through lightweight deployment, so that enterprises of different sizes can enjoy the convenience brought by intelligent business-finance-tax.

As digital transformation accelerates today, improving invoicing efficiency is no longer simply about "cost reduction" but has become an important part of how supermarkets optimize customer experience and enhance operational competitiveness. Kailing Technology, guided by the pain points of the supermarket industry, uses core technologies such as intelligent coding and automated processes to break the cumbersome dilemma of code matching, achieving exponential improvement in invoicing efficiency while building a solid line of defense for tax compliance.
