In addition, the “Sales Forecast AI Agent”, which has integrated Alibaba Cloud's AI capabilities with Huitongda’s industry data, will also provide stores with precise procurement and stocking solutions, further improving supply chain efficiency.Leveraging cloud resources and computing power, the two parties will jointly accelerate the digital development of rural markets.

The two parties will form a professional collaboration team, with Alibaba Cloud providing solution architects and other professionals to Huitongda, developing new applications based on Alibaba Cloud's full-stack AI products.Empowering approximately 250,000 Member Stores, Serving 300+ Million ConsumersAs a leader in urban-rural product circulation and rural digital penetration, Huitongda Network now operates a network of 248,000 member stores across 21 provinces, ranking first in scale in the B2B rural market servicing sector.

In particular, leveraging Huitongda's extensive channel network, the two parties will extend AI capabilities to county-level regions. This not only responds to the national strategies of “Digital China” and “Rural Revitalization” but also narrows the urban-rural digital divide, empowers millions of rural family-owned stores, and enables groups to benefit from technological progress.
