Intelligent Supply Chain Solutions made entrance into cold chain logistics

As our supply chain solutions business continues to gain recognition in the market, we are excited to confirm an order for our Warehouse Management System (WMS) / Transportation Management System (TMS) solution from a renowned logistics company to support its cold chain logistics operations as our first project in the cold chain industry.

Our WMS/TMS solution will be deployed for use at the client’s multi-storey cold storage warehouse in which they provide warehousing and 3PL services to a wide range of customers. Integrated with the client’s backend logistics and inventory management systems digitalising the entire warehouse management, our WMS can ensure goods being correctly placed across multiple floors according to their category and temperature requirement and provide a real time overview of the inventory status and inbound/outbound activities of goods accessible both by the client and its customers. As for the TMS module, we provide our client with intelligent fleet routing and scheduling capabilities powered by AI and Big Data to support its routine distribution operations. Lastly, our solution also features a billing management module which automates the client’s billing operations for its warehousing and 3PL services with ease and accuracy.

The development work of the project is now underway and is expected to be completed before mid 2022. We are happy to open up the cold chain logistics market and hope to explore more opportunities as there are potential customers in the same industry already showing interests in our solution.

Payment system development project involving a deployment of over 200 Smart PoS for a renowned enterprise in the services sector

While the latest local wave of the Omicron COVID-19 variant has posed renewed pressures on the retail sector, there is a positive development in our Smart PoS business for which we expect a harvest in 2022.

We have been in discussion with a renowned enterprise in the services sector for quite some time on a project involving payment system development and integration as well as a deployment of more than 200 Smart PoS at their over 40 outlets in Hong Kong and Macau. In the project, we will develop and provide a terminal software integrated with the client’s POS system to support payment for its Business-to-Business and Business-to-Customer businesses together with maintenance and support services for 5 years. Embedded in the Smart PoS provided by our hardware supplier, our payment software supports a wide range of commonly accepted payment methods from credit cards, contactless payments to QR code payments. As part of the T software and hardware maintenance and support service will provide help desk service to handle basic enquiries raised by the client.

We expect an official confirmation of the project in early 2022 with software development work continuing in the year and completion in early 2023. We believe this major deal would bring in fresh air for our Smart PoS Business while offsetting the anticipated drop of our Smart PoS sales revenue from our bank customers due to the pandemic situation affecting the retail industry.
