Although manufacturers try their best to improve service quality, users always have to issue an invoice to prove the time of purchase for each repair, so users must carefully keep the invoices and dare not lose them within a few years; A heavy burden. When a home appliance breaks down, it is always necessary to wait for the maintenance personnel to arrive at the scene to check the fault. The maintenance personnel must prepare various spare parts every time they go out, and the time of the user and the maintenance personnel are often not coordinated. Waiting for maintenance personnel. The maintenance personnel do not know the daily maintenance workload and intensity, and cannot reasonably arrange the maintenance time. Many maintenance personnel cannot coordinate the workload well. Often, some people are very tired and others are more leisurely, which reduces work efficiency and waste. manpower. On the other hand, the manufacturer cannot grasp the common failure rate of the product and the real cause of the failure. It cannot know exactly which parts are prone to problems, which batch of products has more problems, and there is no specific data for future design improvement. Reference, and the manufacturer cannot know the real needs and preferences of users, cannot count in time how many users are buying the company's products for the second or third time, and cannot timely count the user group information that likes the brand's products, such as the age group of users , regional and so on.
