Description
We are an enterprise software solution services provider headquartered in Hong Kong. We conduct operations through our Operating Subsidiary in Hong Kong, Wching HK. We provide customized software solutions, cloud-based software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platforms, and “white-label” software design and development services. Our mission is to empower our customers and users, in particular, small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”), to accelerate their digital transformation, optimize productivity, improve customer experiences, and enable resource-efficient growth with our low-cost, user-friendly, reliable and integrated all-in-one Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) software solutions. In Hong Kong, SMBs refer to manufacturing companies with less than 100 employees and non-manufacturing companies with less than 50 employees(1). We believe that SMBs are, and will continue to be, a vital component of the economy. However, we have observed that most SMBs rely on antiquated, laborious, inefficient processes or software systems to manage and execute most of their back-office and front-office operational functions. To compete effectively, we believe SMBs require modern integrated software solutions that can automate and streamline operational functions to reduce costs and allow them to focus on higher value-added activities. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic also accelerated technology adoption by SMBs as they were required to respond to new challenges, such as facilitating remote work and finding new methods to engage with customers. At the same time, SMBs also have distinctive technology needs when adopting and transforming to software technologies — we believe SMBs prefer low-cost solutions that are easy to implement, onboard, and integrate and require little ongoing maintenance. We focused on innovation, agility, and reliability, enabling us to adapt to our customers’ needs, deliver user-friendly software solutions and services and develop a comprehensive portfolio of integrated solutions. Our ERP solutions, together with our proprietary software technology, are engineered to enable SMBs of different business models, scales of operations, and needs, in their day-to-day business activities, to support back-office and front-office functions, such as finance and accounting, procurement, manufacturing, inventory management, order management, warehouse management, supply chain management, Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”), professional services automation, project and file management, human resources management, e-commerce, and marketing automation. Our portfolio of software and applications modules also allows our customers and users to scale up and customize to meet specific business and operation needs. Our business has experienced significant growth. We had 83 and 63 customers for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. (1) Source: Hong Kong Trade and Industry Department.
