What Are the Benefits of Using the Internet of Things (IoT)

• Profit Model Transformation

  

  

  1. A shift from the traditional “hardware sales + training fees” to a more sustainable model of “device deposit + commission share + ongoing consumables repurchase.”

     1.Device Deposit Model: By charging a deposit for device use (for example, shared rental devices), you can lower the entry barrier for first-time users, secure long-term usage, and generate stable cash flow or financial returns through the deposit pool.
  2. 2.Transaction Commission Sharing: Earn service commissions in device usage scenarios (such as taking a 20% share of each service package when leasing a beauty device), or generate revenue through data value-added services (for example, providing device usage analysis reports).
  3. 3.Ongoing Profit from Consumables: Build stable income through recurring consumables purchases (such as skincare gels for beauty devices). Combine this with a subscription system (monthly delivery) to strengthen user stickiness.

• Full Device Lifecycle Tracking

  

  

  1. 1.Production and Supply Chain Management: Each device is bound to a unique ID (NFC/QR code) that users can scan to verify authenticity and prevent counterfeiting.
  2. 2.Usage Phase:

     A: Usage is tracked for frequency and duration (for example, light source aging data of a rejuvenation device), providing timely reminders for consumables or filter replacement.

     B: Personalized care plans or supporting skincare products can be recommended based on user skin data (collected through smart skin detectors) to encourage repeat purchases.

  3. 3.After-sales Service and Recycling:

     A: Remote diagnosis allows automatic log uploads when a device shows abnormal behavior, so technical support teams can quickly troubleshoot (such as addressing unstable energy output).

     B: Trade-in programs can evaluate a device’s residual value based on usage time and condition, encouraging upgrades and forming a closed-loop sales cycle.

• Online Collection of User Feedback

  

  

  1. Built-in feedback portals and cloud-based data analysis enable efficient user insight collection:

     1.Instant Satisfaction Ratings: Automatically push satisfaction ratings (1–5 stars) after each device use, and gather open-ended suggestions to respond to customer needs quickly.
  2. 2.Multi-Dimensional Data Analysis: Cross-analyze feedback with related data, such as device model and usage time, to identify common faults.
  3. 3.Closed-Loop Issue Resolution: 3.Emergency complaints automatically generate online work orders and are manually followed up within 48 hours, while frequent suggestions help drive continuous product improvements.

• Improve Customer Loyalty

  

  

  1. In the IoT beauty device sector, intermediaries (such as regional agents and beauty salon channels) play a key role in sales and service delivery. IoT technology combined with refined operations helps build strong, long-term partnerships:

     1.Empowering Intermediaries with Tools and Data:

     A: A digital management dashboard gives partners real-time data on device activations, consumable sales, and repurchase rates, supporting. precise operations through an exclusive app or web portal.

     B: Smart replenishment systems use historical sales data and inventory sensors to automatically generate restock suggestions, avoiding stockouts or excess inventory.

     C: Transparent commission settlements ensure that each device activation triggers an immediate commission payment to the intermediary, building trust.

  2. 2.Profit Binding:

     A: Intermediaries earn a higher share from selling consumables such as gel — for example, 30% on consumables compared to 10% on the device — which encourages long-term collaboration. precise operations through an exclusive app or web portal.

     B: Exclusive regional access to anonymized user data (such as consumption preferences) helps partners carry out precise local marketing.

  3. 3.Building Exit Barriers:

     A: Geo-fencing and remote lock controls prevent unauthorized cross-region device use, protecting agent interests. precise operations through an exclusive app or web portal.

     B: Only authorized intermediaries can provide services such as device calibration or warranty repairs, making it difficult for users to switch channels once they are familiar with the service process.

• Advantages in After-sales Maintenance and Diagnosis

  

  

  1. Switching from “passive repair” to proactive service, while empowering intermediaries, helps build a strong competitive moat:

     1.Remote Intelligent Diagnosis and Improved Efficiency:

     A: Devices are monitored in real time, with automated fault alerts reducing manual troubleshooting by up to 80%. precise operations through an exclusive app or web portal.

     B: Users can perform self-service repairs with remote technical guidance, resolving 70% of issues online.

  2. 2.Predictive Maintenance and Cost Reduction:

     A: Device data analysis provides early warnings for consumables replacement (such as RF head aging). precise operations through an exclusive app or web portal.

     B: Reduce unexpected breakdowns, lower after-sales costs by 30%, and extend device lifespan by 20%.

  3. 3.Closed-loop Service and Stronger User Stickiness:

     A: Transparent repair reporting, processing, and evaluation increase user recommendation scores (NPS) by 40%.

     B: E-warranties and automatic delivery of consumables promote repeat purchases and strengthen brand loyalty.
