These contracts build on a previous contract to provide WuShang with logistics consulting services.
Lin Fang, WuShang’s vice president said, ‘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.
Currently, WuShang operates 43 hypermarket stores selling 25 categories of items, including over 40,000 packaged food items, daily necessities and fresh goods, covering a total area of 76,000 square meters and employs over 15,000 people.
