China's Leading Food Distributor to Implement Ross Enterprise to Help Ensure Food Safety Compliance and Improve Operational Efficiency

CDC Software, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and a provider of industry-specific enterprise software applications and business services, announced today that Hong Kong-based Dah Chong Hong, Limited (DCH), a diversified conglomerate international trading group, plans to implement Ross Enterprise for its food and consumer products business to help ensure food safety compliance and improve operational efficiency.

With decades of experience, DCH has grown into a leading distributor of quality food commodities and consumer products in Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China. DCH supplies and distributes a wide range of food and major international brands of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), frozen and chilled meat and seafood, edible oils, sugar, rice, beverages, other branded household and healthcare products to retailers, wholesalers, food manufacturers, and caterers. The company’s retail arms, DCH Food Mart and DCH Food Mart Deluxe, respectively, sells frozen and chilled food and gourmet food from around the world to customers. Another business unit of DCH, the Food Processing Center (FPC), provides a food factory with a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) environment and logistic support for Food Mart and Food Mart Deluxe shops.

Prior to Ross Enterprise, FPC operated an Order Processing System which lacked integration and flexibility capabilities, resulting in limited visibility into the company’s logistic and production operations. As a result, FPC decided to replace the old system with a comprehensive enterprise solution that could help address critical industry challenges such as bi-directional traceability, HACCP and other regulatory compliance mandates, as well as support full-data integration and provide flexible interfaces with its customers’ systems.

FPC selected Ross Enterprise because of its deep industry-specific functionality in the food and beverage industry, low total cost of ownership and its established track record in addressing food enterprises’ challenges in rising costs and food safety.

"We are very happy with our selection of Ross Enterprise to take us to the next level by allowing us to provide high-quality products in a more cost-efficient way and to help us execute our business expansion plans in the near future,” said Candy Chan, finance manager, DCH Food Mart. "In addition, we are deeply impressed by the industry-specific functionalities of Ross Enterprise such as its recipe/formula management capabilities, advanced production planning and scheduling, bi-directional traceability, and its compliance functionalities that align with a wide range of regulatory standards in our markets. We are also expecting that the system will go live in a short period due to its out of the box functionalities and low amount of customizations required.”

"Over the years, we have helped thousands of customers worldwide to achieve success with our continued focus on customers’ industry-specific needs and investment to R&D,” said Ian Whitehouse, managing director, CDC Software, Asia. "With our experienced local service team, we are confident that Ross Enterprise will help DCH Holdings realize even greater operational efficiency while helping to expand their business.”

"As China passes more regulations in food safety and quality, it becomes more apparent how important Ross Enterprise is for food enterprises in China,” said Bruce Cameron, executive vice president, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, CDC Software. "We believe Ross Enterprise is an ideal solution for food enterprises in China faced with increased regulatory requirements and the need to improve food safety business processes and increase efficiency, while reducing costs,”
