eFuture Signs Contracts To Provide Logistics Resource Management Solution To WuShang

eFuture Information Technology Inc., a leading provider of front-end supply chain management software and services in China, recently announced it has signed contracts to provide logistics software licenses and digital picking equipment to WuShang BulkSale Chain Co., Ltd. ("WuShang"), a subsidiary of Wuhan WuShang Group Holding Co., Ltd. ("WuShang Group"). Combined, these contracts will provide a logistics resource planning software solution (eFuture ONE LRP), including main subsystems such as a warehouse management system ("WMS"), digital picking system ("DPS") and radio frequency ("RF") point system for WuShang's Gaoqiao distribution center. These contracts build on a previous contract to provide WuShang with logistics consulting services.

"eFuture's innovative logistics resource management solutions will enable WuShang to drive consistent execution of strategic logistics management and achieve substantial inventory reductions to enhance overall profitability," said Mr. Adam Yan, chairman and chief executive officer of eFuture. "Our April 2008 acquisition and successful integration of Proadvancer Systems has allowed us to provide valuable and comprehensive logistics services in addition to our leading portfolio of supply chain management software solutions, enabling us to better serve our existing customers and opening up new opportunities for future customers."

In 2007, eFuture's Logistical Business Unit, formerly Proadvancer Systems, Inc., acquired by eFuture and accretive to eFuture's 2008 earnings per share, provided consulting services for WuShang's Gaoqiao distribution center including floor layout planning and construction, business process reengineering, comprehensive workflow transformation planning and on-the-spot operation guidance.

"eFuture's logistics resource management solutions will help us visualize and quantize logistics fees in order to increase efficiency and reduce costs," commented Ms. Lin Fang, WuShang's vice president. "During peak periods, such as vacations, we have to add additional labor to handle the four to five fold increase in deliveries of goods; while in the slack season, workloads decrease significantly. eFuture's solution will allow us to maximize the efficiency of our regular staff and add temporary headcount to meet excess demand at more predictable levels."

eFuture expects all of its projects for WuShang to be completed and operational by August 2008. Upon completion, the distribution center, which will cover approximately 180 acres of land, will process more than 17,000 types of stock keeping units ("SKUs"), of which 3,000 types will be present in the distribution center at any given time. The distribution center's average turnover cycle is expected to decrease by approximately 10 days.

Beginning in 2002, Wushang Group deployed the eFuture ONE POS-ERP R2000 system and eFuture ONE BI V3 business intelligence system for its department stores. In July, 2005, WuShang Group deployed eFuture's eFuture ONE POS-ERP R2003 and eFuture ONE SCM V3 at WuShang's headquarters and 43 hypermarket stores.

WuShang Group announced that it plans to open up to 100 stores with expected revenue of RMB20 billion by 2011, according to its five-year development plan released on Feb 28, 2007.
