Fine IP-product control, deep fan engagement, and direct-plus-franchise coordination — turn every hit-product moment into a sustainable brand asset.
IP collaborations and new-product launches can drive significant traffic to stores, but many customers purchase once and leave. Without connected customer data, brands may struggle to distinguish dedicated collectors from occasional buyers or understand individual preferences across IPs, characters, and product series. As a result, each new product launch can become another one-off acquisition campaign rather than part of a longer-term fan relationship.
Blind boxes, trading cards, and collectible products often involve hierarchical packaging structures such as:carton → case → pack → individual item Procurement and warehouse operations may manage products in PDQ or other outer units, while stores sell individual units. If these units and unpacking processes are not handled systematically, store inventory and ERP inventory can easily become misaligned.
Trendy toy brands may operate direct-owned stores, franchise stores, pop-up shops, unmanned vending machines, and other sales formats at the same time. When sales and inventory data remain fragmented across channels, headquarters has limited visibility into channel performance, promotions, product allocation, and inventory status. As the channel network expands, maintaining consistent retail policies and operational control becomes increasingly difficult.
Complete retail capabilities covering IP merchandise management, blind-box inventory, fan membership, promotions, and coordinated operations across multiple retail channels.
Identify and consolidate members across multiple touchpoints — POS, mini-program, WeCom guide tools, and unmanned vending machines — auto-tagging by purchase frequency, IP preference, and collection depth. Trigger personalized pushes and exclusive benefits around new-product launches and IP collaboration events, moving fans from one-time purchases toward long-term collection.
Organize master data across multiple dimensions — IP series, rarity, copyright year, material — supporting "carton → case → pack → single" unpacking and bundle sales. HQ partitions logical warehouses by channel; online and offline orders instantly report sales data back, keeping inventory visible across channels and preventing both overselling and overstock.
Conversion ratios between PDQ (display-ready outer unit) and inner selling unit are maintained once in the product master data. When forward warehouses receive goods in PDQ, the system auto-generates conversion orders and synchronizes them back to ERP; store-side sales, returns, and requisitions all operate in inner units, with the POS layer fully transparent to clerks. Cross-store transfers and stock-takes auto-align units, eliminating fractional inventory.
Supports common playbooks — buy-X-get-Y, threshold discounts, percentage-off, add-on purchases, multi-item tiered pricing — auto-executing at POS and mini-program after unified back-office configuration. For new IP collaboration launches, HQ rapidly creates products and configures promotion rules; franchise POS terminals sync and activate automatically.
One shared foundation supports scaling from a single store to hundreds. HQ centrally sets price floors, promotion frameworks, and member benefits. Unmanned card-draw machines connect via API for inventory control and automated replenishment triggers. Under multi-level permissions, direct and franchise operations are compared separately, giving HQ real-time visibility into omni-channel performance.
Provides inventory-in/out analysis by IP series, rarity, and copyright year, covering store sales, unpacking data, member consumption structure, and RFM tiering reports. Synced to PC and mobile within minutes, enabling HQ to view and compare direct vs. franchise performance by store dimension.
Connect headquarters and distributors across direct-to-store supply, dropshipping, and franchise distribution models. Distributors can place orders through WeChat or a PC, while the system applies pricing, promotions, and rebates according to configured rules and connects order approval, stock allocation, account management, and reconciliation.

A trendy toy and IP retail system is a specialized retail platform designed for collectible toys, blind boxes, trading cards, IP concept stores, and related retail formats. Compared with a generic POS system, it needs to support additional scenarios such as multidimensional IP product management, hierarchical blind-box inventory, outer-unit and inner-unit conversion, collector-oriented membership operations, and connected unmanned retail devices. It should also support coordinated management across direct-operated and franchise stores.
A generic POS system primarily focuses on checkout and standard store transactions. Trendy toy and IP retail can involve additional operational complexity, including:IP and rarity-based product attributes,Blind-box unpacking structures,PDQ and individual-unit conversion,Limited-edition product allocation,High-traffic IP collaboration launches,Collector and fan segmentation,Mixed direct and franchise operations A retail system designed around these scenarios can reduce the amount of manual work required to manage products, inventory, campaigns, and customer relationships.
Product master data can be organized by dimensions such as IP series, character, rarity, copyright year, and material. For blind boxes and trading cards, the system supports hierarchical inventory structures such as:carton → case → pack → individual item Headquarters can also create logical inventory locations for different channels, helping brands maintain clearer inventory visibility across online and offline operations. The final structure can be configured according to the brand’s actual packaging, sales, and inventory-management model.
The system organizes product master data across multiple dimensions — IP series, rarity, copyright year — applying fine-grained control to the "carton-case-pack-single" structure of blind boxes and cards. HQ can partition logical warehouses by channel; once online orders are generated, sales data is reported back instantly, ensuring inventory visibility across all channels.
Yes. Pekon Smart Retail System supports integration with unmanned card-draw machines. Core capabilities include: real-time visibility into device inventory and sales dynamics, and automated replenishment triggers based on stock levels. Interface capabilities cover inventory sync, product master data delivery, and sales data return; deeper customization can be achieved through the in-house King Kong PaaS platform's API orchestration.
The promotion engine supports common playbooks — buy-X-get-Y, threshold discounts, percentage-off, fixed-price, add-on purchases, multi-item tiered pricing — auto-executing at POS and mini-program frontends after unified back-office configuration. When a new IP collaboration launches, HQ can rapidly create products and configure promotion rules and store scope in the back office; franchise POS terminals sync and execute automatically. Complex campaigns (such as first-release reservations) require implementation configuration based on the brand's operational rules.
For the trendy-toy industry's dual-unit reality (PDQ outer units coexisting with inner selling units), the system supports dual-unit configuration — the conversion ratio (e.g., 1 PDQ = 10 inner units) is maintained once in the product master data. When forward warehouses receive goods in PDQ, the system auto-converts them into inner-unit inventory and synchronizes with ERP; store sales, returns, and requisitions all operate in inner units, with the POS layer fully transparent to clerks. Documents for cross-store transfers and stock-takes maintain unit consistency, fundamentally eliminating the "fractional PDQ" inventory hazard.
Yes. Pekon provides a WeChat mini-program membership operations platform where consumers can view points, browse new-product news, join purchase-limit pre-sales, use in-store scan-to-buy, and check in at offline events. Combined with the CRM's OneID and tag engine, brands can auto-tag by purchase frequency, IP preference, and collection depth — pushing entry-level IP products to light fans, and opening first-release reservation benefits to deep collectors.
One system supports all channels. HQ centrally sets price floors, promotion frameworks, and limited-edition product allocation quotas; stores operate autonomously within authorized bounds, with POS auto-executing HQ rules. HQ views real-time data per store, comparing direct and franchise performance separately. Replenishment and transfer strategies can be flexibly configured on the system framework based on the brand's actual operational rules.
First, using a generic retail system as a "stopgap" — generic POS cannot manage IP rarity or carton-case-pack-single unpacking logic, leading to inventory record mismatches. Second, prioritizing POS over membership — neglecting collector-behavior identification and first-release reservation capabilities, causing IP fan assets to leak away. Third, underestimating dual-unit (PDQ/inner) conversion complexity — relying on manual ledgers invites fractional inventory and financial reconciliation headaches.
