Chinese retailers invest in generative AI to boost performance

Published

on

SHANGHAI, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Chinese retail players are investing in generative AI to boost sales and Singles Day could be the perfect opportunity, according to a new report by Bain & Company launched today.

Since 2023, big players such as Alibaba and JD.com have been investing ferociously in AI with up to 40% and 50% of their acquisitions respectively, being AI-themed. Against a backdrop of slowing retail and a more subdued Singles Day, generative AI is expected to feature more prominently.

Bain & Company’s survey of over 500 merchants trading on China’s giant e-commerce platforms are embracing AI as 52% have used at least one generative AI–enabled tool. Slightly more than half have used generative AI–powered customer service chatbot tools, and about one in three have used AI to generate content.

Crucially, 56% of surveyed merchants say AI tools have had high positive impact in improving productivity (time and effort) and 39% responded with high positive impact in terms of operational cost reduction. In March, for instance, JD.com launched an enhanced suite of AI-powered solutions designed to cut merchants’ operational costs by as much as 50%. The solutions include an assistant to accelerate online store launches and a realistic avatar generator to enable round-the-clock interactive shopping livestreams.

“AI’s increasing prominence across Chinese retail offers a timely boost to a maturing industry that is facing challenges including slower retail sales growth, price stagnation, falling property prices, youth unemployment, and fragile consumer confidence,” said Kelly Liu, partner at Bain & Company’s Greater China Retail and Performance Improvement practices.

On the consumer side, AI is slowly gaining traction. Bain & Company’s survey of over 3,000 Chinese consumers revealed that only 12% of shoppers used AI retail tools in the last six months, with 23% penetration among Gen Z shoppers over the same period. Across all ages, Chinese shoppers are most likely to have used generative AI in the areas of visual search (beginning a search with an image rather than a text-based query), customer service chatbots, and voice-activated search and shopping.

In the consumer survey, 49% of shoppers said they are excited about the upcoming Singles Day, down from 53% in 2023 and 76% in 2021. About three-quarters of respondents said they expect to spend the same amount or less on Singles Day promotions in 2024, broadly in line with last year’s findings. Some shoppers have also indicated that they want to limit their Singles Day spending to household products only. Shoppers who plan to maintain their Singles Day spending are also hoping that this year’s deals will be as attractive as last year’s.

“As expected, economic headwinds have caused a stagnation in Singles Day sales last year as gross merchandise value increased by a record low of 2%, supported by newer livestreaming and short video e-commerce channels,” said James Yang, head of Bain & Company’s Greater China Retail practice. “We have predicted this for some time now, and it is vital that Chinese retailers deepen their customer engagement. AI tools can energize customer retention efforts, enabling e-commerce players to hyper-personalize their engagement with consumers and create bespoke shopping experiences for them.”

Retailers that master generative AI in three key areas — deepening customer engagement, turbocharging productivity and cost savings, and finding new growth beyond trade — could build a lasting strategic advantage, says the report.

To retain and nurture customer relationships, leading players are already starting to deploy enhancements such as SEO-friendly automation of product pages, AI-written summaries of customer reviews and even virtual try-ons – through services such as Taobao’s AI fitting room.

Generative AI has massively expanded cost-saving automation possibilities in previously labor-intensive areas of marketing, through the creation of product photos and descriptions, as well as in merchandising and software engineering. A big part of the AI productivity opportunity involves helping frontline staff to be more effective through smart automated assistance that gives them more capacity to get things done.

Bain & Company’s experience advising on generative AI globally suggests many retailers should be able to increase revenue by 5% to 10% overall through AI-powered personalization initiatives and achieve productivity gains of 30% to 40% in marketing, 25% to 30% in software development, and 5% to 25% from using generative AI to reshape the way employees work on the front line, in warehouses, and at HQ.

Chinese retailers need to transition faster from AI experimentation to deployment at scale. Longer term, Chinese retailers must also consider how they can use AI to find new growth beyond trade as the technology starts to open up adjacencies to traditional buying and selling that could extend their already diverse activities.

“We have strong reasons to believe that Chinese retailers have what it takes to succeed in the AI race and win over customers. E-commerce penetration rates have been robust and e-commerce infrastructure—particularly its vast ecosystems of consumers, retailers, and partners—should accelerate adoption as familiarity with AI builds. And finally, the market’s AI research and development is also notably strong, leading the world in AI-related patent filings,” said Melanie Sanders, Asia Pacific head of Bain & Company’s Retail practice.

Shane Madden, CEO of Hydreight, commented:

“2025 was a defining year for Hydreight. We transitioned from a growing platform into a scaled healthcare infrastructure business, with strong revenue growth and sustained profitability.

The acceleration we saw in the second half of the year was driven largely by the rollout of VSDHOne, which is now becoming a meaningful contributor to both revenue and long-term scalability.

As we move into 2026, our focus is on expanding our partner network, increasing transaction volume across the platform, and continuing to grow our compliant healthcare infrastructures in the United States.”

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE & DRIVERS

VSDHOne – Core Growth Engine

The Company’s VSDHOne platform, launched in 2025, was a primary driver of growth, contributing to:

Rapid onboarding of new partnersExpansion of direct-to-consumer healthcare brandsIncreased transaction volume across telehealth and pharmacy services

Revenue growth in 2025 was primarily driven by VSDHOne-related activity, combined with continued organic growth across existing partners.

The platform ramped significantly through the second half of the year, with Q4 alone contributing $14.9M in revenue, representing approximately 270% growth compared to the same period in 2024. This acceleration reflects strong demand from partners seeking compliant, turnkey solutions and demonstrates the Company’s ability to scale transaction volume efficiently across its infrastructure.

OPERATING METRICS & VOLUME GROWTH

Operational performance across the Company’s core verticals continued to strengthen throughout 2025.

The Company’s first two verticals continued their historical growth in 2025, supported by alignment with broader market trends and the introduction of direct-to-consumer products and services through Hydreight’s proprietary platform structure.

Completed Services revenue in Q4 2025 for the first vertical increased by approximately 44% compared to the same period in 2024Completed Services revenue for the first vertical in 2025 increased by approximately 17% compared to 2024New nurse sign-ups increased by approximately 45% in 2025 compared to 2024

These metrics reflect continued growth in the Company’s core service offerings, expansion of its provider network, and increasing utilization across the platform.

PLATFORM SCALE & NETWORK EFFECTS

Hydreight continues to expand its position as a leading healthcare infrastructure platform:

11,000+ licenses signed across VSDHOneNational footprint across all 50 U.S. statesNetwork of healthcare providers, pharmacies, and partners

The Company believes that this scale reflects growing demand from businesses seeking compliant, turnkey solutions to enter and expand within the U.S. healthcare market.

MULTI-VERTICAL REVENUE MODEL

Hydreight generates revenue across three primary streams:

Business partner subscription contractsTelehealth consultation and platform commissionsPharmacy sales

Growth was supported by:

Expansion of product offerings (GLP-1s, peptides, NAD, TRT, and more)Increased partner utilizationBroader adoption across wellness verticals

PROFITABILITY & OPERATING LEVERAGE

Hydreight achieved strong improvements in Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure:

Adjusted EBITDA: $2.5M in 2025 vs. $0.14M in 2024 (+1,765% YoY)Net income (loss): $1.69M in 2025 vs. $(0.41)M in 2024

Performance strengthened meaningfully in the fourth quarter, reflecting the scaling of the platform in the second half of the year.

Q4 Adjusted EBITDA: $1.58M vs. ($0.10M) in Q4 2024

This reflects:

Platform scalabilityRevenue growth outpacing cost increasesImproved operational efficiency

This improvement reflects the operating leverage inherent in the Company’s platform model and was not solely a function of higher revenue. As transaction volumes scaled across VSDHOne, incremental revenue flowed through at higher margins, supported by a largely fixed regulatory, pharmacy, and technology infrastructure. As a result, revenue growth outpaced cost growth, driving improved profitability and demonstrating the scalability of the Company’s platform.

¹ See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation”.

BALANCE SHEET & LIQUIDITY

Cash: $15.65M (vs. $1.2M in 2024)Working Capital: ~$15.7M (vs. deficiency of $2.5M in 2024)Strong capital position to support ongoing operations

The Company also completed a $15M financing in January 2026, subsequent to year‑end, further strengthening its ability to scale operations and pursue strategic initiatives.

Including the $15M financing completed in January 2026, the Company has access to over $30.7M in capital to support growth initiatives.

Please see SEDAR+ for the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES & MILESTONES

Hydreight continues to expand its platform through strategic initiatives and partnerships.

During 2025, the Company:

Strengthened its vertically integrated healthcare infrastructureExpanded its national pharmacy networkInvested in next-generation platform capabilities (VSDHOne 2.0)Established strategic relationships to enhance product innovation and distribution

In 2026, Hydreight further expanded its strategic initiatives through an investment in Insu Therapeutics, a company focused on developing innovative delivery mechanisms for peptide-based therapies. This aligns with Hydreight’s long-term strategy of supporting next-generation treatments across its platform.

OUTLOOK

Hydreight is entering 2026 with strong momentum, supported by:

Continued onboarding of new partnersIncreasing transaction volumes across VSDHOneRecent capital deployment initiativesExpansion into new healthcare verticals

As of the end of Q1 2026, VSDHOne has surpassed 12,000 licenses sold, reflecting continued momentum in platform adoption.

Management remains focused on scaling the platform while maintaining disciplined growth and operational efficiency.

“We look forward to discussing these results in more detail on our upcoming earnings call.” -Shane Madden

Neither TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess its operating performance, and this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted Revenue” and “Adjusted EBITDA”. These measures are not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS or GAAP.

The Company defines Adjusted Revenue as gross cash income before adjustment for the deferred portion of business partner contract revenue and gross receipts from Hydreight App service sales. The Company defines Adjusted Gross Margin as GAAP gross margin plus inventory impairment plus the deferred portion of business partner contract revenue. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and before (i) transaction, restructuring, and integration costs (ii) share-based payments expense, (iii) gains/losses that are not reflective of ongoing operating performance including inventory impairment and (iv) sales tax provision, net of actual cash payments to state tax authorities. 

Adjusted Revenue reflects the gross economic activity processed through the Company’s platform during the applicable period and may differ materially from revenue recognized under IFRS, which is based on revenue recognition and deferral requirements. Adjusted Revenue is not a measure of financial performance or profitability and should not be considered a substitute for revenue determined in accordance with IFRS.  As used, Adjusted Revenue accelerates cash receipts relative to IFRS revenue recognition. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company believes that these non‑GAAP measures provide information useful to investors in understanding historical operating trends and the scale of the Company’s platform relative to its peers but does not intend for such measures to represent future performance. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of other metrics presented in accordance with IFRS.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains statements which constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of the Company with respect to future business activities and operating performance. Forward-looking information is often identified by the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” or similar expressions and includes information regarding expectations for the Company’s 2026 strategic outlook, growth, platform scaling initiatives, and anticipated expansion of VSDHOne and other platform offerings.

Forward‑looking information is based on management’s expectations, estimates and assumptions as of the date hereof, including assumptions regarding: continued partner adoption, stable regulatory regimes applicable to telehealth and pharmacy operations in the United States, availability of capital, and general economic conditions.

Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical facts but instead reflects the Company’s management’s expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the Company.

Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information are the following: the ability to obtain requisite regulatory and other approvals with respect to the business operated by the Company and/or the potential impact of the listing of the Company’s shares on the TSXV on relationships, including with regulatory bodies, employees, suppliers, customers and competitors; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; changes in applicable laws; compliance with extensive government regulation; and the diversion of management time as a result of being a publicly listed entity. This forward-looking information may be affected by risks and uncertainties in the business of the Company and market conditions.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update this forward-looking information except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Scaled Commercial Breakthrough: OMODA & JAECOO AiMOGA Robotics Secures 1,000 Robot Orders, Boosting Smart City Deployment Step by Step

Published

on

By

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and WUHU, China, May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In response to steady advancement of smart city construction and the actual demand for efficient, low-cost urban public service equipment, OMODA & JAECOO officially launched the full-scale commercial layout of AiMOGA Robotics at the 2026 Chery International Business Summit in Wuhu. Centering on the theme “Driven by Scenarios, United for Growth”, the event witnessed a key industrial breakthrough: AiMOGA Intelligent Police Robots secured 1,000 intentional signing orders and completed an official concentrated delivery of 100 units, laying a solid foundation for orderly large-scale promotion and practical scenario operation in urban roads, traffic hubs and daily public governance links.

Jointly developed by OMODA & JAECOO and the professional AiMOGA technical team, the robotic product lineup covers humanoid robots, quadruped robots and core intelligent patrol robots. Drawing on the brand’s mature intelligent vehicle underlying technologies in perception, planning and control, the equipment retains high operational stability.
