Technology is driving a new phase of AI development through ecosystem collaboration.

Amid the wave of AI, new technologies are empowering all industries with unprecedented force. At the recent 2026 Cross-Border E-commerce Development Conference held in Langfang, Hebei, the innovative application and core advantages of DC HOLDINGS's "Supply Chain AI Control Tower" solution in cross-border e-commerce scenarios garnered widespread attention from attendees.

In a major report released at the conference, the "2025 China Cross-Border E-commerce Annual Development Report," DC HOLDINGS (Kejie) was successfully listed on the "2025 China Cross-Border E-commerce Service Provider Comprehensive Competitiveness Ranking." Its self-developed supply chain intelligent agent "Xiao Jin," which performed excellently during the 2025 Double Eleven shopping festival, has become a typical case of AI technology empowering the supply chain.

Cross-border e-commerce is just one of the many scenarios where DC HOLDINGS is implementing its AI technology. This year, the company formally proposed a new vision: "to be the leader in AI solutions centered on the supply chain," which aligns closely with the national "15th Five-Year Plan" strategy. Concurrently, guided by the elevation of its "Data×AI" strategy, the company is integrating its three core strengths: scenario experience, technology-driven innovation, and ecosystem synergy. With the implementation of the national "AI+" strategy, the company is accelerating its efforts to provide comprehensive data intelligence solutions for industries such as consumer electronics, communication services, fast-moving consumer goods retail, apparel, and chain hotels. This empowers clients' full-chain digital-intelligent transformation and management efficiency leap across R&D, production, supply, sales, and service, driving the reconstruction of industrial chain value.

Data × AI Strategy Bears Fruit Across Multiple Scenarios

In 2026, DC HOLDINGS proposed its new vision: to be the leader in AI solutions centered on the supply chain. Why the supply chain, and not something else?

Firstly, DC HOLDINGS has over two decades of foundational experience in physical supply chain operations. Its subsidiary, Kejie, manages real warehouses, real vehicles, and real distribution. Recently, Kejie has signed contracts with well-known brands like Yunnan Baiyao and Heidi's Garden. It also successfully won the bid again for China Mobile Terminal Company's 2026-2028 national logistics centralized service procurement project, with a total budget of approximately 711 million yuan. The company will continue to provide nationwide B2B and B2C integrated supply chain services for China Mobile Terminal Company, supporting the efficient operation of its distribution, e-commerce, retail, after-sales, and other business scenarios. Securing such a national centralized procurement order is impossible without a solid foundation in physical operations.

Secondly, the supply chain is one of the industries with the highest "decision density" for AI. Zhang Hupo, Chief Technology Officer of DC HOLDINGS Kejie, pointed out that the supply chain is a core arena for AI to release its value. The entire chain—from procurement, production, warehousing, and transportation to sales—is filled with high-frequency decision points. Even a 1% improvement in decision quality can create significant economic benefits for enterprises. Industry insiders have expressed similar views. For instance, while AI substitution rates in customer service scenarios save labor costs, AI in supply chain scenarios, by improving demand forecast accuracy by a few percentage points or optimizing warehouse network allocation, leverages the entire ledger of inventory turnover, fulfillment costs, and stockout losses—the impact is not comparable.

Furthermore, DC HOLDINGS's own business structure is continuously increasing its focus on supply chain AI. The company stated that it aims to deeply integrate full-stack general AI capabilities with industry-specific expertise by leveraging its core strengths of scenario experience, technology-driven innovation, and ecosystem synergy, thereby continuously reconstructing business processes and intelligent decision-making systems. At a performance briefing, Cai Yinghua, President and Chief Operating Officer of DC HOLDINGS, emphasized that in recent years, the company has been enhancing its ability to serve clients while accelerating the concentration of resources towards its core businesses. "The core goal of this series of measures is to achieve a transformation from a holding company to a business-driven company within this strategic cycle." From an external perspective, the supply chain is the anchor for that "business-driven" transformation.

Beyond cross-border e-commerce, DC HOLDINGS's AI technology has already been implemented and is empowering enterprise development in industries such as consumer electronics, fast-moving consumer goods retail, and chain hotels, earning the trust of leading companies.

For example, in the cosmetics supply chain, Kejie, under DC HOLDINGS, offers digital-intelligent supply chain solutions covering the entire lifecycle of cosmetics. Addressing industry pain points like rapid new product iteration, complex SKU management, large promotional peak fluctuations, and difficulties in omnichannel inventory coordination, Kejie leverages over twenty years of supply chain experience, a full-chain expiry management system, and the supply chain intelligent agent "Xiao Jin." This enables expiry warnings, first-in-first-out practices, inventory forecasting, intelligent scheduling, and fulfillment resource optimization, helping brands reduce stockout and overstock risks while steadily improving user experience. From brands like Bammuhuatian and Ximuyuan to Zhanyan, Kejie meets both common and specific needs of different enterprises, continuously providing integrated services covering warehousing, distribution, transportation, and service for cosmetics clients.

Moreover, Kejie has established a flagship cosmetics warehousing and logistics center in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, achieving "24-hour delivery in South China and 48-hour nationwide delivery." By linking with Kejie's Southeast Asian overseas warehouses and Guangzhou port resources, it significantly shortens the time-to-market for domestic cosmetics brands going overseas and reduces logistics costs.

In the consumer electronics supply chain, Kejie innovatively proposed creating an "intelligent agent twin system" with the job workstation as the core carrier, integrating data from systems like ERP, WMS, TMS, and industry know-how. This gives each position its own dedicated AI assistant. Its ToB customer service AI workstation and business analysis AI workstation models have been implemented internally at Kejie and in client scenarios, improving task processing efficiency by over 50%. This represents AI's leap from being "visible" to being "usable" and finally to "calculating a clear return on investment."

In the field of hotel digitalization, DC HOLDINGS's subsidiary, Shenzhou Yinuo, independently developed the "Shenzhou Zhiliao" intelligent management platform. Utilizing a cloud-native distributed architecture and integrating technologies like AI agents, IoT, RFID, and digital twins, it helps hotels break down data barriers between procurement and assets. This facilitates a transition from "experience-driven" to "data-driven" and from "decentralized control" to "collaborative closed-loop" management. Its technology for managing linen using IoT has increased inventory counting efficiency by up to 90% and reduced handover time by 60%, effectively reducing labor and asset depreciation costs. It has helped hotels like the InterContinental Wuxi Taihu New City, the Kempinski Hotel Chengdu, and hotels under the Bangtai Group effectively utilize idle assets and lower overall operational losses. Related implementation cases have also been successfully included in the "China Hotel Procurement Supply Chain Development Blue Book (2025-2026 Edition)."

Technology-Driven Ecosystem Collaboration Opens a New Chapter for AI

In fact, the core of DC HOLDINGS's current strategic narrative is the elevation of "Data×AI," not simply "AI+." What's the difference? In the view of DC HOLDINGS's management, AI implementation must be combined with specific industries and business scenarios, and the company's primary implementation approach is shifting from data governance to knowledge governance. Behind this lies the long-established technical foundation, the "Yanyun Three-Piece Suite."

Among these, Yanyun DaaS connects systems like ERP, WMS, OMS, and TMS, enabling efficient access to multi-source heterogeneous data, making data "accessible." Yanyun Infinity handles data standardization governance and business modeling, making data "usable." Yanyun Cortex, as an AI semantic engine, adds an AI-oriented system semantic layer to traditional closed enterprise systems, transforming closed systems into AI-readable "white boxes," allowing AI to "understand."

The three-tier architecture of the Supply Chain AI Control Tower, from underlying system data integration, to mid-level AI workstations for six major job functions, to the top-level collaborative decision-making hub, shifts AI from "seeing data" to "aiding decisions," realizing a decision-making paradigm of "AI suggestion + human confirmation."

Regarding implementation models, compared to the industry's capital-intensive approach of "building a platform first, then finding scenarios," DC HOLDINGS originated the "AI First FDE" methodology, insisting on starting from real supply chain business scenarios and using high-value decision nodes as breakthrough points. Relying on a company's existing data and business processes, a project can complete a specialized supply chain AI diagnosis within days and implement a minimum viable product scenario based on real data within weeks, quickly validating intelligent value and significantly reducing the trial-and-error costs of enterprise transformation.

Building on this, DC HOLDINGS is advancing its approach to the "ecosystem" level. Relying on its mature Supply Chain AI Control Tower solution, the "AI First FDE" methodology, and the technical capabilities of the "Yanyun Three-Piece Suite," DC HOLDINGS launched the "xᴬᴵ·Supply Chain" ecosystem co-creation plan. This promotes the formation of a closed-loop implementation for the "AI for Process" concept in the supply chain field. The "Process" here signifies that AI is not a model floating in the air but productivity embedded in every process node of an enterprise's R&D, production, supply, sales, and service.

"We hope to bring good methodologies and technologies into the real processes of enterprises, match them with specific business problems, and generate quantifiable benefits," said Zhang Wei of DC HOLDINGS. "We won't spend one or two million building a platform first, as in past IT projects. Now, clients can see real results in 1 to 2 weeks." It is reported that this plan invites enterprises to see results first, then decide, using a model of 1 to 3 days for AI diagnosis and two weeks for MVP validation with real data.

One benchmark case of this ecosystem co-creation plan is the AI and unmanned picking vehicle application cooperation signed by Kejie with the well-known home gardening brand, Heidi's Garden. In this project, AI is deeply embedded in the complete picking closed loop, from wave generation, task assignment, and AGV scheduling to checking/unloading and risk warning. Picking decisions have been upgraded from manual experience to "AI suggestion + human confirmation," and the application of AI has qualitatively shifted from "seeing data" to "aiding decisions."

For another example, in cross-border e-commerce, where sea shipping cycles last 30-45 days, inventory rules vary across platforms, peak season nodes are dense, and exchange rate fluctuations directly impact gross profit, even a 1% improvement in decision quality can translate into substantial real financial gains. The "2025 China Cross-Border E-commerce Annual Development Report" points out that the role positioning of Chinese cross-border e-commerce service providers is undergoing a fundamental shift, gradually moving from early-stage back-end support to front-end co-creation. The Supply Chain AI Control Tower from DC HOLDINGS Kejie shifts decision points from "quarterly review" to "when an anomaly occurs," and turns reviews from "guessing the cause" into "viewing a root cause list," providing solid intelligent support for Chinese brands going global.

It is worth noting that alignment with the national "AI+" strategy and the "15th Five-Year Plan" is another distinctive feature of DC HOLDINGS's strategy. Adopting "leader in AI solutions centered on the supply chain" as its new vision means DC HOLDINGS positions itself at a key node for "industrial chain value reconstruction." It connects upstream intelligent computing infrastructure, such as providing board-level to chip-level end-to-end computing services for multiple leading internet clients at its Ulanqab Computing Service Center. In the midstream, the Yanyun data + AI full-stack addresses the "data black box" problem of enterprise legacy systems, pushing AI from "visualization display" to "real business decision-making." Downstream, it outputs customized digital-intelligent supply chain solutions for industries like consumer electronics, FMCG, cross-border e-commerce, and hotels.

As the "Data×AI" strategy continues to evolve and the Supply Chain AI Control Tower establishes a lightweight path of "1 to 3 days diagnosis, two weeks MVP validation" in more industries, the story DC HOLDINGS aims to tell is gradually not just about its own growth, but also about how AI can develop real productive forces within China's physical industrial chains. By targeting the supply chain, DC HOLDINGS's journey has vast horizons ahead.
