"DingTalk Projects has provided us with a future-oriented, efficient, and transparent way of working—where every inspiration can be precisely implemented, and every innovation can be firmly supported."

— Qin Xiaoyong, Vice President of Wole Technology

For more than three decades, Wole Technology has quietly worked in the field of smart body fat scale technology, demonstrating the true value of an "invisible champion" through its hard-core expertise.

This low-profile yet highly capable company boasts a 50,000-square-meter production base, nine independent R&D laboratories, and 16 smart fully assembled production lines. Countless "hit products" have been born here, including the Huawei Smart Jump Rope S2 series, the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Body Scale S200, and the S400 and S800 body fat scale series. Its products are exported to over 200 countries worldwide, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Today, the number of users on Wole Technology's health management platform, the Fitdays app, has reached 25 million.

Let's take a look at their experience!

01

From "Manual Radar" to Intelligent Collaboration

The birth of a new product often requires close collaboration among more than a dozen departments, including product, R&D, production, quality, and sales. In the past, communication methods relying on emails and group chats often led to missed tasks and opaque progress, with chaotic document versions being the norm. In December 2023, the introduction of DingTalk Projects became a turning point.

"At first, we were actually a bit nervous about using DingTalk Projects," admits the R&D leader at Wole Technology. "The R&D team was used to a free-form discussion style, and suddenly having to follow a process for tasks and fill in work hours made everyone feel uncomfortable. But after three months of adjustment, the changes were truly visible."

Wole Technology's new products involve hundreds of task nodes from design to testing. In the past, these tasks were scattered in the minds of individual engineers or fragmented in DingTalk group chats, forcing project managers to act as "manual radars" tracking progress one by one. Now, through DingTalk Projects' task boards and Gantt charts, each task is broken down into the smallest granularity, making it clear who is responsible for what, when the deadline is, and how dependencies are structured.

DingTalk Projects' agile response feature allows for timely updates and status tracking, while the requirement pool function makes it easy to categorize and prioritize requirements, giving the R&D team a clear view of all needs.

Even smarter is the automated alert mechanism. "The system automatically reminds the person in charge when a task is overdue and simultaneously notifies the PM and department head. This proactive alert exposes problems earlier, reducing the occurrence of similar issues by 80%," the leader adds.

Document management has also undergone a revolution. In the past, changing a design drawing would result in V1, V2, V3 versions flying around like snowflakes, and firmware test reports were often missing. Now, through DingTalk Projects' document library, documents at each stage are automatically categorized and stored, and test reports are intelligently linked to task nodes—R&D personnel can only close a task after uploading the latest report, which has greatly improved both document filing rates and accuracy.

Health consumer products iterate extremely quickly, with user needs changing every six months. After adopting DingTalk Projects, the company's new product launch success rate has soared to 100%. In the past, launching a new product required countless meetings; now, through DingTalk Projects' standardized templates, everything from business evaluation to mass production execution has been digitized.

The Lubricant That Breaks Down Departmental Walls

If R&D is the precision gear, then cross-departmental collaboration is the lubricant that keeps the entire machine running. DingTalk Projects has built an invisible bridge of collaboration at Wole Technology, breaking down departmental walls.

The procurement department was the first to feel the change. In the past, the procurement department relied entirely on emails for prototype quotes and sample arrangements, a slow process that easily led to lost orders. Now, they create "sample tasks" in DingTalk Projects, directly linking quote sheets and mold drawings. Once procurement staff receive the task, they can download the materials with a single click and arrange external work. "At first, we thought the process was too cumbersome, but later we realized that all operations can be recorded and traced, and if there's a problem, we can trace the source. It's really convenient," says the procurement manager.

The project document management scenario has also brought unexpected benefits. DingTalk Projects' built-in document feature allows product documents, design drafts, and meeting records to be stored in a categorized manner, making them easy to retrieve and reuse. Standardized templates better structure knowledge such as design specifications and technical parameters, ensuring information consistency during cross-departmental collaboration.

Take time tracking, for example. Wole Technology has also leveraged DingTalk Projects to design a clever "binding mechanism": R&D personnel must log their work hours before marking a task as complete. This seemingly simple rule has directly increased the accuracy of time data to 90%, and it also allows the contributions of top talent to be quantified and presented.

For the company's management, DingTalk Projects' statistical reports clearly and intuitively display the information they care about, instantly showing resource allocation, risk distribution, and cost variances for each project. On one occasion, Wole discovered that the frequency of design changes for a certain product was unusually high. Through data analysis, they found a loophole in the CMF (color, material, finish) approval process. After optimization, R&D waste was reduced by 10%, equivalent to saving costs in the millions.
