Hong Kong, October 15, 2026: Huitongda Network has reported a significant increase in e-commerce efficiency and sales for Jiangsu Athleta Sports Co., Ltd. following the adoption of “Dabi AI,” an AI-powered platform developed by Boundary Consulting, a Huitongda subsidiary. The company said the tool has accelerated new product launches by five to ten times and driven sales growth of over 50% in Athleta’s e-commerce business ahead of the “Double Eleven” shopping festival.
Huitongda, which began by supporting township mom-and-pop stores, has expanded its “AI + Retail” strategy to online e-commerce, leveraging its network of more than 250,000 township member stores. The integration of AI applications is creating new growth opportunities as e-commerce merchants join Huitongda’s ecosystem.
AI platform streamlines retail operations
The “Dabi AI” platform, developed by Boundary Consulting, offers e-commerce merchants tools for product analysis, competitor research, visual content generation, asset management, and automated tasks. This enables business analysis, content production, and task execution within a single platform. Huitongda acquired a 57% stake in Boundary Consulting in November 2025, bringing together its retail experience and Boundary’s e-commerce AI expertise.
The collaboration allows Huitongda’s retail capabilities and Boundary Consulting’s AI applications to benefit both online and offline businesses. The shared AI tools reduce marginal costs and generate scenario-specific data, supporting Huitongda’s dual-engine “AI + Retail” strategy.
Integrated AI solutions across retail segments
Huitongda’s AI offerings extend beyond e-commerce. The company provides “Qiancheng Cloud AI” and “Qiancheng AI Super Store Manager”—which integrates more than 24 scenario-based intelligent agents—for physical retail stores, and “LeapoAI” with over 100 specialised features for brand owners and factories. These solutions are supported by Huitongda’s intelligent supply chain system, connecting supply chain partners, brand manufacturers, retail stores, FMCG chains, and e-commerce merchants.
In the first half of 2026, Huitongda’s AI-related revenue reached RMB 78.91 million, a 32.3% year-on-year increase, and accounted for over 70% of its full-year AI-related revenue in 2025. The company said this reflects strong customer demand and progress in commercial AI adoption.
AI-driven transformation in retail sector
Huitongda emphasised that its integrated network of online and offline retail, supported by real transaction data and fulfillment capabilities, creates a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate. The company said its “AI + Retail” strategy is positioning it as a professional enabler in embedding AI into real business scenarios, aiming to drive a comprehensive upgrade in the retail industry.
