About Youxin Cloud

Based in Guangzhou, China, Youxin Cloud operates as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider focused on the digital transformation of retail enterprises. The company was co-founded in 2018 by individuals including Shaozhang Lin and Jinhou Sun. Mr. Lin, the current CEO, brings over 15 years of technology R&D experience, including a past role as a technical leader for WeCom and Tencent Enterprise Mailbox. Mr. Sun, the Chairman of the Board, previously worked in product management at Beijing Xiaoju Technology, the company behind DiDi Chuxing.

Youxin Cloud's business model is centered on providing cloud-based tools that help mid-tier retail brands in Mainland China manage and control their business applications without needing to invest in complex IT infrastructure. The company targets a significant market segment, as mid-tier brands represented approximately 35% to 50% of all retail sales in China in 2022. Its platform is designed to connect all levels of the retail chain, from management and distributors to salespersons, stores, and end customers, providing a comprehensive, real-time view of business operations. This enables clients to make critical business decisions by streamlining the supply chain, which can enhance efficiency and profitability. The company has recently pivoted from a focus on customized Customer Relationship Management (CRM) services to a more scalable PaaS model to foster recurring revenue and deeper client relationships.

The company's product offerings include a PaaS platform and a SaaS product. The PaaS platform allows mid-tier brands to operate in a flexible, distributed manner and build complex digital applications for distribution, store, and e-commerce functions. In February 2023, the company launched its "Yunzhuidan" SaaS product, which is a ready-to-use solution allowing clients to build applications that interact across multiple digital channels like mobile, web, and social interfaces. This suite of solutions encompasses cloud payments, cloud marketing, order tracking, inventory management, logistics, and customer services. Youxin Technology Ltd. became a publicly traded company, listing on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol YAAS in December 2024, after an initial public offering that raised approximately $10.35 million.
