Chain Retail Online · Every Store Is a Cloud Warehouse

50 stores open 50 warehouses — the natural advantage of an offline chain is being closest to the shopper. Once you bring the online mall live, every store becomes a cloud warehouse, orders auto-dispatch to the nearest store by LBS, with 1-hour same-city delivery + in-store pickup halving fulfillment costs and turning store staff into "forward-warehouse pickers".

Business Flow

From Shopper Checkout to Store Fulfillment

LBS dispatch → store picking → same-city delivery / pickup redemption — a full closed loop for chain retail online

📍 LBS Auto-Dispatch

When a shopper orders, the nearest in-stock store is auto-selected by three factors — shipping address + store stock + distance — with no manual order splitting by operations

🏬 Store Cloud Warehouse Inventory

Each store's stock is maintained independently and visible network-wide; ordering deducts the corresponding store's stock, preventing oversell

🚚 Same-City Delivery

Integrated with Meituan / Shansong / SF Intra-City couriers — store staff hail a runner with one tap, delivering to the shopper within 1 hour

💳 In-Store Pickup

Shoppers select in-store pickup at checkout, generating a redemption code to scan and collect at the designated store, boosting store foot traffic

📱 Store Staff Workspace

A store-dedicated mobile app where staff handle order intake / picking / outbound / runner hailing all on their phone

📊 Store Performance Attribution

Online order performance is attributed to the fulfilling store's account, motivating store managers to push online ordering

Dispatch failure auto-falls back to central warehouse

"50 Stores = 50 Forward Warehouses"

A shopper orders in the H5 mall; the system checks store stock within a 5 km radius of the shipping address and auto-dispatches to the "nearest + in-stock + open today" store. Store staff get a phone alert, pick the goods → hail a runner with one tap, the rider arrives within 30 minutes, and delivery completes in 1 hour.

  • Configurable dispatch strategy: nearest-first / stock-first / performance-balanced
  • Cross-store transfer: auto-transfer from a neighboring store when out of stock
  • Offline / closed stores are auto-bypassed and won't take orders
  • Dispatch failure auto-falls back to central-warehouse delivery, ensuring fulfillment

In-Store Pickup: Bring Online Traffic Back Offline

For customers who order online and pick up in store, the moment they walk in is a chance for an "upsell" — staff can recommend complementary products. Store GMV isn't only offline sales; online-to-store redemptions also count toward the manager's performance, motivating staff to push online ordering.

  • Both redemption code and QR code formats, with staff scanning to confirm
  • After in-store redemption, staff can upsell (complementary products / package upgrades)
  • Foot-traffic stats linked to online orders, grounding store operations
  • Store-exclusive coupons open when shoppers arrive, activating repurchase
