In recent years, it's informatization that make C&U develop increasingly. By the end of June 2004, all the 78 subsidiaries have been connected to C&U's home by means of informatization. From then on C&U realized that informatization of enterprise will increase managing efficiency; will shorten response time on all aspects; will integrate and optimize resouces of both inside and outside the enterprises; will save cost and make products more competitive. Successfully introduce Collaborative Commerce The next generation E-Business will be collaborative commerce (C-Commerce), it means suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers would be integrated together, streamline the process, share some important information and increase the velocity of the supply chain. C&U Group introduced the C-Commerce system in the second half of 2003. So far, the C-Commerce system has brought a general improvement among the subsidiaries. For example, reducing the number of goods-in-stock, reducing operating cost, strengthening the relationship with supplier, expediting projects' implementation, enhancing the supply chain's upgrade and so on. In short, C-Commerce could maximize the profit among supplier, agents and ultimate consumer. Professional website In order to guarantee the successful running of their website, C&U asked the best network company to support them. They also created some humanized means of service to minimize the steps in marketing and expedite delivery. Their website(http://www.chinamel.com/) have all the useful function like E-Shop, member service, info service, enterprise list, BBS and guiding map etc. Besides, customers could communicate with the website by mobil phone, short message, fax, WAP and other means. It's very convenient and efficient. But the only defect is lacking of English version, maybe this defect will prevent it from entering into world market. All of the above show us C&U's endeavor in informatization, and we believe that C&U will face a further development in future. C&U Group
