BEIJING, July 23 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- eFuture Information Technology
Inc. (Nasdaq: EFUT) (''eFuture''), a leading provider of front-end supply
chain management software and services to China's retail and consumer goods
industries, today announced that it has signed a contract to provide its
mySHOP Retail Business Management System 3.0 (''mySHOP 3.0'' or ''the
system'') to Tiens Group Co., Ltd. (''Tiens Group''). eFuture will install
the system at Tiens Group's six distribution centers, 100 subsidiary
stores, 100 direct- sales stores and 1,000 franchised chain stores, which
have a total customer base of over 10 million.
''We are excited to be rolling out one of our high-performance software
solutions to support Tiens Group's wide-ranging global operations," said
Mr. Adam Yan, eFuture's chairman and chief executive officer. ''With the
system's intelligent analysis and decision-making data, Tiens Group will be
equipped to streamline its business and increase competitiveness by
centralizing operations and conveniently evaluating the performance of its
individual stores. Moreover, our software is designed to provide maximum
compatibility with the existing back-office software employed by Tiens
Group and other retail clients.''
Once operational, mySHOP 3.0 will provide Tiens Group's headquarters
and subsidiary back-offices, direct-sales stores and franchise chain stores
with procurement, sales and storage management capabilities. The highly
centralized business management system will offer flexible and accurate
operational analysis and decision-making data, supporting membership
management such as purchase-based membership points, and allowing Tiens
Group's headquarters to better evaluate individual store performance.
eFuture will first deploy mySHOP 3.0 in a pilot stage covering Tiens
Group's four subsidiary stores, four direct-sales stores and 40 franchised
chain stores in China and expects the pilot stage to be operational by
December 2008. After the completion of an initial rollout, eFuture and
Tiens Group expect to further collaborate to complete a nationwide
expansion of the system to a further 96 subsidiary stores, 96 direct-sales
stores and 1,000 franchised chain stores in 2009.
In July 2006, Tiens Group selected eFuture's ONE POS-ERP R2003 Super
Market Management System for its Bannerstore Supermarket. Since its
selection, the R2003 Super Market Management system has been successfully
implemented in Bannerstore's headquarters back-office, six subsidiary
stores, 17 direct-sales stores and 23 franchised chain stores.
