MINH KHANH LONG: CREATING “GREEN” VALUE THROUGH DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Established in 2020, at the peak of the pandemic, Minh Khanh Long Food Co., Ltd. resiliently overcame the challenges and has since grown significantly on its journey to shape the kitchens of Vietnam and the world.

Currently, Minh Khanh Long has an extensive distribution network stretching from Hanoi and Hung Yen to Ho Chi Minh City. It is also present on online platforms like Facebook and its website with the well-known brands Bep Hoa and Hanabi.

With leading experts from diverse cultural backgrounds—Vietnamese, Asian, and Western—and extensive experience in distribution and marketing, Minh Khanh Long has delivered high-quality meals that ensure both the health and quality of life for its customers.

As a corporation specializing in food processing and distribution, Minh Khanh Long always prioritizes building and creating green values, promoting environmentally friendly products and services. For Minh Khanh Long, the effort to go green, starting with small actions, will contribute to creating sustainable values for the environment and consumer health.

The ingredients used by Minh Khanh Long are carefully selected, from production to processing, harvesting, drying, and storage. Everything complies with VietGAP standards and has a clear origin. Additionally, the company limits the use of plastic packaging for its products, opting instead for easily decomposable and recyclable materials. 

In addition to being “green” in its product and service development strategy, the company also aims for “green” business operations. This was the driving force for Minh Khanh Long to pioneer the adoption of digital technology in its management operations to eliminate redundant tasks, reduce meetings and office waste, and optimize resources by focusing on personnel training and minimizing employee turnover. 

After researching technology platforms on the market, Minh Khanh Long chose and implemented 1Office—a comprehensive digital transformation solution for businesses—to fulfill this mission.

Previously, Minh Khanh Long managed paperwork, records, and documents using traditional methods. This required significant storage space, high printing costs, and long processing times. By digitizing all documents on 1Office, Minh Khanh Long has reduced paper usage by 30%, optimized information processing speed, and improved work efficiency. 

Additionally, with a workforce of over 100 employees frequently moving between locations, Minh Khanh Long faced significant challenges in processing timesheet adjustments for off-site work or updating leave requests for absent employees. The timekeeping consolidation process was also time-consuming, as specialized departments like kitchen, service, and sales staff worked in shifts and included part-time employees. To consolidate and share timesheets between locations, the administrative department had to travel multiple times, which wasted time and increased the risk of data loss. 

However, thanks to the determination to digitize every step of the timekeeping and payroll process, the company has significantly increased the productivity of the HR department in particular and other departments in general, making everything faster and more efficient.

In addition to focusing on digitizing records, documents, timekeeping, and payroll, Minh Khanh Long also promotes interaction, communication, and team bonding on the technology platform. Stemming from its high regard for human values, Minh Khanh Long has encouraged members to share their emotional statuses and photos on 1Office. As a result, all employees, whether in the office or in the kitchen and service departments, can get to know each other, share feelings, and provide mutual emotional support. 

It can be said that applying digital technology to operations is a sound move in Minh Khanh Long’s long-term strategy. By applying digital technology to its management and operational processes, Minh Khanh Long aims to directly reduce waste from daily printing of papers and documents, and limit pollution from travel between different locations for work. 

The partnership with 1Office will help Minh Khanh Long build and create “green” values faster, more robustly, and more effectively. This enables Minh Khanh Long to achieve comprehensive digital transformation, optimize operations, increase labor productivity, save on management and printing costs, and enhance cohesion between departments.
