Furthermore, a supply chain center to protect people's welfare was quickly established by the company – consisting of a product center, an order center and a distribution center.

Through big data technology, materials and people, warehouses and demand are closely interconnected. This has achieved overall efficient scheduling of the orders and the optimal deployment of transport, shortening the delivery times of the supplies. 

As of Sept 12, the total number of online group purchase orders had exceeded 130,000. The online group purchase area now supplies more than 100 communities in key areas such as Nanming and Yunyan districts.

The products cover all kinds of daily necessities such as rice, noodles, grain, oil, vegetables, meat, eggs and milk.

They carry out systems operations and maintenance checks, making sure things run smoothly and security issues are resolved immediately, ensuring locals can place their orders at any time.
