Four Decades of Dedication: Expertise Built on Focus
Looking back to 1986, the founder of Tech-Trans Holdings Limited led a team in Hong Kong to embark on the research and development of retail management systems. From early technological exploration to its current position as a leader in digital and intelligent transformation for commerce and end-to-end cross-border data services, Tech-Trans Holdings Limited has, over the past 40 years, remained committed to its core philosophy of "International Software, Local Wisdom," focusing deeply on the industry and applying its expertise to solve complex challenges.
In 2005, Hong Kong-based Tech-Trans Holdings Limited expanded fully into the Chinese mainland and established roots in Guangzhou, providing services to renowned domestic and international commercial real estate and branded retail chain groups.
In 2009, the company completed its shareholding reform and initiated the establishment of Tech-Trans as a joint-stock company, with headquarters in Guangzhou. Building on its established industry expertise, it provided robust technical support across the Asia-Pacific region and established branches in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Kunming, Wuhan, and other major cities—another milestone in the company's long-term service to China's retail industry!
In 2010, Tech-Trans provided retail services for the Shanghai World Expo, covering 190 countries, 56 international organizations, and approximately 4.6 billion visits, demonstrating its robust technical support capabilities.
In 2014, Tech-Trans was listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ), ushering in a new stage of development empowered by capital.
In 2015, Tech-Trans successfully developed and launched a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and electronic gift voucher management software, helping enterprises across retail formats manage memberships and marketing, analyze member data, and strengthen customer loyalty.
In 2017, Tech-Trans successfully developed and launched O2O omnichannel retail management software. Integrated with the CRM system and leveraging dynamic tagging, RFM analysis models, and social media, the software enabled brick-and-mortar retailers to tailor product volumes and pricing strategies for precise, targeted marketing at the store and SKU levels.
In 2018, Tech-Trans launched a comprehensive suite of smart new-retail software, including smart stores, smart warehousing, intelligent shopping assistance, and store service monitoring. By integrating big data, intelligent sensing devices, and other software platforms, the suite helped brick-and-mortar retailers digitize footfall, products, transactions, payments, and memberships, optimize back-end supply chains, and deliver more targeted services.
In 2019, Tech-Trans launched a range of products and marketing platforms, including smart commercial districts, intelligent business analytics, and integrated marketing, helping offline commercial complexes establish an operating system integrating "data + analytics + decision-making + performance" that seamlessly connected front-end and back-end operations as well as online and offline services. In the same year, Tech-Trans launched its "Dual Shared-Platform" digital product series, entered into a strategic partnership with Beijing Capital Juda, and developed a data asset management platform for the retail industry.
In 2020, Tech-Trans entered into an in-depth partnership with Capital Airports Holdings Co., Ltd. and launched a precision marketing platform for commercial operations, significantly increasing the airport group's non-aeronautical revenue.
In 2021, in response to the industry's digital and intelligent transformation needs, Tech-Trans developed and launched a consumer-centric Customer Data Platform (CDP) designed to drive business growth. The platform helped retail and commercial enterprises integrate customer data across all channels, conduct targeted customer operations, unlock the value of their customer data assets, and increase retail revenue and repeat purchases.
From 2022 to 2023, Tech-Trans continued to develop intelligent mini-programs, intelligent commercial budgeting, a cloud-based tenant acquisition platform, and other solutions. It also developed an integrated culture, commerce, and tourism operations platform for the post-pandemic era, combining exhibition ticketing, event reservations, livestream commerce, navigation, and guided tours. The platform helped offline commercial complexes accelerate their digital expansion online and transition toward an asset-light "commerce + industry + new media" model.
In 2024, Tech-Trans launched an integrated "omnichannel data fusion + real-time intelligent decision-making" platform built on an AI algorithm engine and privacy-preserving computing architecture. The platform helped enterprises in commercial complexes, cultural and tourism districts, airports, branded retail chains, and other urban commercial spaces achieve secure data governance. In the same year, Tech-Trans launched a smart local services platform and provided Suijiang County, Yunnan Province, with platform deployment and managed operations services, building a data foundation for urban and rural areas, turning data into assets, making daily life more convenient, and fostering a sustainable ecosystem for government-enterprise collaboration.
In 2025, Tech-Trans fully launched a series of digital and intelligent products, including the Huami AI Agent Platform and the Customer Situational Awareness System, helping enterprises across retail formats reduce IT development costs and improve business responsiveness and collaboration efficiency. These solutions shifted marketing and customer acquisition from broad-based campaigns to AI-powered precision targeting and deeper customer engagement, activating high-value customer segments. In the same year, Tech-Trans Holdings Limited established a joint venture with Gui'an New Area Science and Technology Innovation Industry Development Co., Ltd. and partnered with China Telecom to expand the new "Hong Kong Data, Guizhou Computing" business, injecting strong momentum into the compliant development of cross-border data flows.
Over the past 40 years, Tech-Trans Holdings Limited has continuously expanded its service footprint amid changing times: from commercial complexes, shopping centers, and branded specialty chains to airports, banks, ports of entry, industrial parks, cultural and tourism industries, transportation hubs, smart counties, and other diverse sectors. It has continued to push service boundaries and explore entirely new service scenarios.
Tech-Trans’s technologies and products have always evolved in response to industry needs: from traditional voice communications software to internet-based architectures, SaaS platforms, big-data shared-service platform architectures, and today’s "AI + application" model. Every advancement has kept pace with technology trends, creating higher-value digital and intelligent solutions for customers.
Tech-Trans has served more than 1,000 renowned domestic and international corporate groups, covering 70% of the mid-to-high-end segment of China's retail industry.

Transforming with the Times, Innovating for the Future
Throughout its 40-year development, Tech-Trans Holdings Limited has consistently regarded technological innovation as its core driver, building strong core competitiveness. In an era driven by AI and data, Tech-Trans Holdings Limited is leading the future with four core engines:
Cross-Border Data Ecosystem Hub
Tech-Trans uses trusted data space technology to safeguard data security and build a governable, trustworthy, usable, and secure cross-border data ecosystem hub, enabling the efficient conversion of data asset value. Tech-Trans Holdings Limited and China Telecom are jointly advancing the "Hong Kong Data, Guizhou Computing" project. Through a trusted data space featuring "within the territory but outside customs jurisdiction + data sandbox" (filed with the relevant cyberspace administration authority), the project provides a secure data foundation that makes data "usable but invisible," fostering a data ecosystem for compliant data transactions, development, and utilization.
Intelligent Cross-Domain Data Governance
Tech-Trans connects data resource pools across healthcare, finance, insurance, government affairs, culture and tourism, and other fields, integrating expertise from industry specialists across multiple domains to provide data annotation and governance services informed by industry knowledge. Supported by a professional data annotation team of more than 2,000 people and a computing power pool of more than 10,000 accelerator cards at the national-level Gui'an Supercomputing Center, Tech-Trans provides full-lifecycle data governance services for film and television rendering (supporting more than 150 productions, including Ne Zha 2 and The Wandering Earth II), healthcare, finance and economics, smart culture and tourism, public opinion analysis on major issues, business insights, and other scenarios.
AI-Powered Digital and Intelligent Business Upgrades
Tech-Trans innovatively integrates "knowledge graphs + RAG" to provide an enterprise-grade AI agent cloud platform (the Huami AI Agent Platform). Through a five-step implementation path of "computing power → scenarios → knowledge → applications," the platform automates cumbersome specialized professional tasks, reduces labor input, improves team collaboration efficiency through standardized processes, and accelerates end-to-end business processes.
Coordinated Development Across Government, Industry, Academia, and Research
Tech-Trans Holdings Limited has partnered with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University to establish a "Cross-Border Data Flow Laboratory." By interconnecting research data across borders, the laboratory explores technical pathways and governance mechanisms for trusted cross-border data flows, continuously empowering the development of a trusted data ecosystem and contributing to the growth of the national digital economy.
In the AI Era, Building a Data Ecosystem Together
Standing at a new starting point in the AI era and facing new opportunities presented by the thriving digital economy, Tech-Trans Holdings Limited will continue to pursue its goal of "becoming a leader in digital economy development" and participate deeply in the integrated development of the national digital economy, digital government, and digital society. Going forward, we will continue to deepen our end-to-end cross-border data services and enhance our "governable, trustworthy, usable, and secure" data hub platform to fully unlock the value of data assets. We will further strengthen the integration of AI technologies with industry-specific use cases, expand into more business areas such as smart local services, digital supply chains, and intelligent operations, and provide customers with more precise, efficient, and innovative solutions. We will continue to uphold the philosophy of openness and win-win cooperation, deepen collaboration with customers and partners, expand resource linkages across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and domestic and international markets, and jointly build a new ecosystem for the digital economy.
