In recent times, an innovative platform known as DeepSeek has made significant strides in the artificial intelligence sector, showcasing its remarkable competitive edge. With an impressive response speed for reasoning, lower deployment costs, and features tailored to suit the Chinese market, DeepSeek is not just another AI technology; it is transforming the enthusiasm for AI applications within the business community. Consequently, it has breathed new life into the industry, opening doors to unprecedented opportunities.

At the forefront of this technological transformation is Zhaogang.com, a company that began emphasizing the development of AI assistant products as early as 2023. Keeping a keen eye on industry trends, Zhaogang.com has successfully integrated the DeepSeek large model into its services. This leap has enabled the steel industry to benefit from comprehensive AI-driven solutions throughout its supply chain, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.

Transformations in business transactions have been notable, especially in the B2B landscape characterized by lengthy transaction cycles, numerous links in the supply chain, and the critical role of service-based interactions. Traditional communication tools like WeChat and QQ have served as essential channels for business interactions. However, these platforms struggled with the structuralization of data, a challenge that has plagued the industry for years. With its inherent advantages in natural language processing, specifically its prowess in understanding Chinese, DeepSeek has enabled Zhaogang’s AI assistant to streamline efficiency across various stages of a transaction—before, during, and after.

In the pre-transaction phase, Zhaogang’s AI procurement assistant leverages DeepSeek’s robust deep learning capabilities. The platform aggregates data to create forecasts on steel pricing trends, equipping users with valuable insights that can guide their decision-making process. This capability empowers businesses to seize optimal trading opportunities when they arise.

Furthermore, addressing a persistent pain point in the industry—the convoluted and time-consuming process of supplier price compilation—Zhaogang.com harnesses DeepSeek’s AI capabilities to achieve intelligent analysis and automated price processing. The system can seamlessly organize complex pricing information into a standardized product database, which not only supports a one-click sourcing and comparison function but also accelerates procurement efficiency. This innovative solution is estimated to save each employee around one hour a day on price compilation tasks, allowing them to focus more intently on their core business functions.

During the transaction phase, the AI trading assistant becomes instrumental in enhancing efficiency. Thanks to DeepSeek’s advanced algorithms, Zhaogang.com has revolutionized traditional trading models. For instance, consider a large construction company that urgently requires a specific type of specialty steel. If several suppliers have the necessary stock, the platform swiftly captures this information, enabling smart matching between suppliers and the demand side. By automatically responding to supplier quotations, the system can accomplish what previously would have taken human operators hours, if not days, within mere minutes. Such efficiency not only streamlines the transaction process but also provides a significantly enhanced experience in the steel trading realm.

After transactions are completed, Zhaogang.com’s AI order-tracking assistant takes over, along with additional AI-driven data analysis tools like “Fat Cat Assistant.” The AI order-tracking assistant integrates every aspect of post-sale processes, from legal contracts to shipment notifications, logistics tracking, payment receipts, and invoicing. This comprehensive automation fosters effective collaboration among six key departments—legal, warehousing, logistics, finance, settlement, and accounting—thereby ensuring improved operational efficiency and service quality. Leveraging DeepSeek, Zhaogang.com has refined internal processes and delivered more convenient, transparent, and reliable services to clients, embodying their commitment to empowering business through technology and driving service upgrades through intelligent solutions.

The AI data assistant, utilizing DeepSeek's powerful analytical capabilities, provides users with specialized trading analysis reports, shedding light on market demands and facilitating the formulation of scientifically-backed business strategies. Meanwhile, the Fat Cat Assistant acts as an enterprise knowledge base, trained with the DeepSeek large model, allowing employees to consult a seasoned "master" at any time, thus enabling new recruits to quickly equate the expertise of those with 3 to 5 years of industry experience.

Looking ahead, the ascent of DeepSeek signals the vast potential of artificial intelligence technology. Zhaogang.com, grounded in over a decade of industry insights and innovation, has amassed a wealth of data—over millions of entries—that is critical for relevant model training and fine-tuning, establishing a robust barrier to entry in the competitive landscape. Reports indicate that Zhaogang.com has invested over 1 billion RMB in research and development, amassing nearly 400 software copyrights and patents throughout its history, thereby confirming its position as a leader in the sector.

In the future, Zhaogang.com is poised to further embrace AI technology, committed to facilitating the digital transformation of the steel industry. Through innovative products and services, the company aims not only to deliver higher-value solutions to customers but also to steer the industry into a new era of intelligent development. As DeepSeek continues to enable such transitions, stakeholders within the industry can anticipate a landscape rich with opportunities for growth, efficiency, and advancement.
