Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued) 管理層討論及分析 （續） Tradelink Electronic Commerce Limited Annual Report 2018 14 Business Review (Continued) E-Commerce Business Review (Continued) In the second half of 2018, we have completed delivery of the two major orders mentioned in the 2018 Interim Report. The first was a Warehouse Management System (“WMS”) project with consultancy service provided to a local subsidiary of a major US-based marketing and distribution services company and the second was provision of WMS embedded with Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) technology to a leading organisation in Macau for managing all physical assets in its new integrated entertainment resort. Furthermore, a couple of exciting orders were confirmed, with one of them completely delivered and one with software licence delivered before the end of the year to be followed by further development and implementation work in 2019. The work-in-progress project with software licence delivered to the customer in 2018 is a mega project, which we successfully won through a highly competitive tendering process in the latter part of 2018. The project involves providing an advanced warehouse solution with automated material handling equipment to support the daily high warehouse traffic throughput requirement of a leading retail chain in Hong Kong. The project aims at improving the warehouse operation efficiency and addressing various warehouse labour issues that our retail chain customer has been facing. Our sophisticated WMS will play a vital role in the overall project, serving as the mastermind in planning, guiding and controlling operation of the different automated material handling equipment provided by our partners and in conjunction with manual operations on the warehouse floor to meet the high service level requirement of the customer. We are exceedingly pleased to be awarded the mega project which signifies our customer’s recognition of our capability in providing advanced supply chain solution for modern warehouse operations supported by automated material handling equipment. The project will add to the list of success stories in deploying our supply chain solutions for renowned customers. Another interesting WMS project secured in 2018 which was also worth mentioning was for one of our GETS customers involving in the cigar and tobacco business serving the China and global markets. Using our Dutiable Commodities Permit (“DCP”) solution to submit DCP applications to the Customs & Excise Department (“C&ED”) for the movement of its dutiable goods, this customer has engaged us to provide a total solution for management of their dutiable goods movement and inventory control of the duty paid goods in their warehouse after their receipt of the relevant DCPs from the C&ED. Through the integration of our DCP solution to their back end system, our WMS allows our customer to manage movement of their goods in and out the warehouse legitimately. This is our first customer case of this nature and given our leading position in the DCP market, we would explore opportunities to offer similar solution to our other DCP customers. 業務回顧（續） 電子商貿業務回顧（續） 我們已於二零一八年下半年交付於二零一八年中 期報告提及的兩個主要訂單。第一份訂單為向一 家以美國為基地的大型營銷及分銷服務公司的本 地附屬公司提供倉庫管理系統（「倉庫管理系統」） 以及顧問服務。第二個項目為向澳門一間領先機 構提供包含物聯網（「物聯網」）技術的倉庫管理系 統，以管理其全新綜合娛樂渡假村內的所有實質 資產。除此兩個項目外，我們已成功確認多份訂 單，當中一份已完成交付，另一份已於年底前交 付軟件授權，並於二零一九年進行進一步開發及 推行。 上述已於二零一八年交付客戶，並附有軟件授權 的正在進行項目，與一項龐大項目有關，該項目 於二零一八年年底進行招標，我們在競爭激烈過 程中成功脫穎而出。有關項目為提供一項配備自 動化物料處理設備的先進倉庫解決方案，以為香 港一個領先的零售連鎖品牌旗下倉庫每日的高貨 流量提供支援。有關項目旨在改善倉庫營運效 率，並解決零售連鎖客戶的多項倉庫勞動力問 題。我們成熟的倉庫管理系統在整個項目中擔當 重要角色，不但在由我們的業務夥伴提供的不同 自動化物料處理設備的營運上，擔當計劃、指引 及控制方面的中樞，同時配合倉庫層面的人手操 作，以達致客戶高服務水平的要求。我們對於此 龐大項目中成功投標感到非常欣喜，標示著在我 們為配備自動化物料處理設備的現代倉庫營運提 供先進供應鏈解決方案上的能力獲客戶認同，同 時為我們成功為知名客戶提供解決方案上再添一 員。值得一提的是，我們於二零一八年有另一項 已簽約作實的倉庫管理系統項目。有關項目是為 於中國及全球市場從事雪茄及煙草業務的 GETS 客 戶提供倉庫管理系統。我們的客戶透過使用我們 的應課稅品許可證（「應課稅品許可證」）解決方 案，向香港海關呈交應課稅品許可證，以搬移其 應課稅品。我們的客戶委聘我們提供一項全面的 解決方案，以在獲發出相關應課稅品許可證後， 於其倉庫內管理應課稅品搬移，以及已完稅貨品 的存貨監控。透過將我們的應課稅品許可證解決 方案與客戶的後勤系統相結合，我們的倉庫管理 系統可讓客戶管理貨品於倉庫內的合法進出。此 客戶乃我們首位屬此種性質的客戶，有鑒我們於 應課稅品許可證市場中的領導地位，我們會尋覓 機遇，以提供類似的解決方案予我們其他應課稅 品許可證客戶。
