CDC Software Deploying New Versions of CDC Supply Chain Solutions for World's Leading Global Enterprises

  
    
  
  
    
      CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation and a 
      provider of industry-specific enterprise software and services, today 
      announced that several leading global enterprises have implemented new 
      versions of CDC Supply Chain solutions to help improve efficiencies, 
      reduce costs and improve productivity throughout their supply chain.
    
    
      “We are very pleased that we are strengthening 
      the confidence our customers have with us as partners in their mission 
      critical applications like supply chain solutions,” 
      said Peter Yip, executive chairman of CDC Software. “CDC 
      Supply Chain has helped our customers who operate multiple plants with 
      complex distribution and supply chain networks to cost effectively meet 
      their demand-driven fulfillment requirements.”
    
    
      Automotive
    
    
      At Shanghai General Motors, a 50-50 joint venture partnership between 
      General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp., CDC Supply Chain’s 
      WMS, Labor Management, Slotting Optimization, Yard Management, Event 
      Management and Enterprise Visibility solutions are now in use at a new 
      parts distribution and packaging center. Last year, Shanghai General 
      Motors opened the first of four new planned model parts distribution and 
      packaging centers in Guangzhou, China.
    
    
      Shanghai General Motors is a recent customer that developed based on the 
      long-standing relationship between Catalyst, a company acquired by CDC 
      Software in 2007, that served General Motors as a client since 1990. The 
      CDC Supply Chain applications provide Shanghai General Motors with one 
      of the most advanced supply chain execution software suites of any 
      automotive company in the world. CDC Supply Chain is also planned for 
      future implementation at three other facilities of Shanghai General 
      Motors.

      WMS is the core of its Common European Logistics Solution (CELS) 
      platform. A customer since 2000, the grocery retailer has two national 
      distribution centers and four regional distribution centers serving 750 
      stores and shipping 400 million store order lines each year. 
      Additionally, the grocery retailer achieves inventory turns averaging 
      two to three days at its regional distribution centers, and the CELS 
      rollout has freed up approximately 10 percent extra selling space and 
      added flexibility to support all store formats using the CDC Supply 
      Chain solution.
