Reflections on 2024
2024 was a year of remarkable transformation and resilience. Despite our complex and shifting market, we remained steadfast in our commitment to innovation and excellence. We focused on growing our platforms and the globalization of information systems across key industries, including hospitality, retail, and leisure. These efforts were guided by our core strategy of long-term growth, supported by significant investments in research and development.
Through the integration of our products and the migration to the Shiji Enterprise Platform, we have delivered innovative solutions that not only enhance operational efficiency but also unlock unprecedented value for our customers in improved operations and revenue. This strategy has strengthened our competitive advantage and further solidified our reputation as a trusted partner for leading global clients.
