A two-day OPC enablement system that saved ¥50K

The participant

He is a multi-brand distributor in Mengzi, Yunnan. His business supports hundreds of one-person operators—often owners of beauty, wellness, massage, and other small local shops—who sell products for the brands he represents.

The challenge

The network needed consistent marketing materials and clear performance tracking. Developers quoted ¥30,000–¥50,000, warned that the system would take months, and could not guarantee that the finished product would match the actual workflow.

What he built

During the two-day workshop, he used a Hermes Agent to turn his requirements directly into a working system without writing code or hiring a technical team.

The system supplies ready-to-use copy, visuals, and campaign scripts to every operator. Headquarters can also monitor sales and performance across the network instead of relying on group chats and manual spreadsheets.

Operational impact

The system now supports hundreds of operators across Yunnan. Because the owner built it himself, he can update functions as the business evolves without maintaining a separate development team.

Why it matters

AI did more than reduce development cost. It gave the business owner direct control over a core operating system that used to sit behind a technical supplier.
