Fourth Time on the List! Kingdee Credit Tech Earns Spot on “2024 KMPG China Fintech 50”

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the “2024 KPMG China Fintech 50” list release and award ceremony was held in Shanghai. Kingdee Credit Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Kingdee Credit Tech”), a leader in the field of enterprise digital credit, was recognized for the fourth time for its outstanding contributions to empowering inclusive finance over the past decade.

Since the launch of KPMG China’s first “Fintech 50” list in 2016, the “KPMG Fintech 50” has attracted significant attention from the industry. The selection committee for this year’s list included dozens of professionals and representatives from KPMG’s global and China offices, reflecting the cutting-edge technology and innovation in China’s fintech sector.

In his speech, Zhang Chudong, KPMG’s Asia-Pacific and China Financial Services Managing Partner, emphasized that the development of cutting-edge technologies like generative AI is driving fintech innovation in areas such as financial product development, service optimization, and risk management, empowering the five major areas of the financial industry: technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance.

In the rapidly transforming fintech field, data has become the key fuel driving innovation and decision-making. Kingdee Credit Tech’s inclusion for the fourth time is a testament to its ongoing commitment to “ensuring every enterprise has digital credit.” By leveraging core technologies such as AI, big data, graph computing, and RPA, Kingdee Credit Tech integrates multi-dimensional data from authorized financial, tax, invoice, and corporate legal sources. Through self-developed and bank-collaborated credit risk assessment models, the company supports financial institutions in achieving precise marketing and risk management, effectively contributing to the growth of the real economy. Currently, Kingdee Credit Tech collaborates with over 200 banks and financial institutions and has helped 700,000 small businesses access over 180 billion yuan in digital credit.

Kingdee Credit Tech’s “Industry Transaction Map” has been widely applied in areas such as microfinance and supply chain finance, offering banks accurate solutions for reaching high-quality enterprises within the industrial chain. With a vast accumulation of authorized data and advanced graph computing technology, banks can accurately identify the relationship networks and transaction links of enterprises and their upstream and downstream partners. This allows them to filter out high-quality companies and even identify small businesses with up to six layers of transactional or equity relationships with core enterprises, thereby enhancing customer acquisition and risk control efficiency. For example, in partnership with JD Technology, Kingdee Credit helped 500,000 businesses within the industry map gain higher supply chain financing, effectively improving liquidity in the supply chain. In the microfinance sector, Kingdee Credit Tech launched the Kingdee Feiqi App, providing small enterprises with efficient and intelligent online financing services.

In the field of small and micro-enterprise services, Kingdee Credit Tech has launched Ailit, a SaaS APP for inventory and sales management specifically tailored for Chinese businesses and entrepreneurs. It supports multiple languages, currencies, and exchange rate switching, including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Ailit meets the needs of overseas clients in areas such as invoicing, inventory management, financial reconciliation, and business analysis, helping to enhance the operational efficiency of their international businesses.

Looking ahead, Kingdee Credit Tech will continue to leverage the value of digital credit and actively explore innovative fintech applications to support the high-quality development of digital inclusive finance.

Logistics Management & Hikvision white paper: Harnessing the power of open and collaborative systems in logistics

HANGZHOU, China, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In today’s rapidly evolving e-commerce landscape, the ability to manage high-volume logistics operations efficiently and effectively is more critical than ever. Supply chain disruptions, changing customer expectations, and rising costs are just a few of the challenges that logistics managers face daily. To navigate these complexities, companies are increasingly turning to integrated technology solutions that can streamline processes, improve decision-making, automate tasks, and enhance customer service levels.

Logistics Management Magazine and Hikvision have jointly released a new white paper to explore the transformative power of open and collaborative systems in logistics. The white paper shares insights into how integrated technology ecosystems can help organizations break down data silos, improve end-to-end visibility, and achieve significant operational efficiencies.

  • Disparate systems lead to inefficiencies

In the modern logistics landscape, traditional on-premises legacy systems often struggle to communicate with each other, resulting in data silos, manual interventions, and poor visibility across the organization. These issues are particularly pronounced in e-commerce, where accurate and timely insights have become more important than ever for logistics and supply chain operations.

  • Integration is the solution

To address these and other challenges, smart organizations are using more integrated solutions that break down silos. By connecting different systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Transportation Management Systems (TMS), Yard Management Systems (YMS), and Video Management Systems (VMS), companies can achieve a unified view of their end-to-end supply chain.

  • Real-world applications

The white paper provides practical examples of how integrated logistics solutions have helped e-commerce and high-volume logistics parks. For instance, integrated parcel tracking solutions have enabled warehouses to determine responsibility for damage and lost items, reducing the cost of compensation. Yard management systems, integrated with transportation management platforms, use AI to recognize license plates and container numbers, ensuring the orderly movement of vehicles at the gate, loading dock, and yard. 

Discover how open and collaborative systems help organizations adapt to the ever-evolving logistics landscape, ensuring a competitive edge in today’s fast-paced market. Download the full white paper here.

Nuvoton Releases 1.7 W 420 nm Indigo Laser Diode

KYOTO, Japan, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nuvoton Technology Corporation Japan (hereinafter “NTCJ”) announced on January 15 the launch of its industry-leading (*) indigo semiconductor laser, which emits an optical level of output power of 1.7 W and a wavelength of 420 nm. Details of the new product and alternative light source solutions to mercury lamps will be exhibited at NTCJ’s booth at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, USA, scheduled for January 28-30, and LASER World of PHOTONICS 2025 in Munich, Germany, set for June 24-27. The company will welcome all visitors to its booth.
(*) As of January 15, 2025, based on NTCJ’s research on semiconductor lasers emitting at a wavelength of 420 nm

1. This product achieves industry-leading optical output power of 1.7 W at a wavelength of 420 nm, close to the g-line of mercury lamps, in a compact TO-56 CAN package. Using this high-output, compact product enhances the design flexibility of light source devices, enabling the development of smaller light source devices compared to mercury lamps.

2. With over 40 years of experience and more than 3 billion semiconductor lasers shipped for optical discs, NTCJ has developed extensive design and manufacturing expertise in semiconductor lasers. Its newly developed indigo semiconductor laser integrates proprietary optical design and heat dissipation technology, achieving both high efficiency and long-term reliability. Compared to mercury lamps, this reduces power consumption and the frequency of light source replacements, thereby lowering the running costs of light sources.

3. This product, which emits laser light at a wavelength of 420 nm close to the g-line of mercury lamps, can be combined with NTCJ’s mass-produced ultraviolet semiconductor lasers (378 nm) and violet semiconductor lasers (402 nm) to serve as alternative light sources for the i-line (365 nm), h-line (405 nm), and g-line (436 nm) of mercury lamps. Additionally, by adjusting the output power ratio of each semiconductor laser according to the application, it is possible to achieve highly flexible optical designs that were not possible with mercury lamps.
