Client Introduction

Li-Ning (China) Sports Goods Co., Ltd. was founded in 1990 by Li Ning, the famous Chinese “Prince of Gymnastics”. The company has continued to grow at an incredible pace for more than two decades and is now one of China’s leading sporting goods brands.

As a leading domestic sporting goods brand, Li-Ning is dedicated to providing sports equipment to athletes and sports enthusiasts around the world, building a healthy lifestyle, and creating a comprehensive sporting goods distribution network. Li-Ning has always been at the forefront of informatization. After introducing the SAP system in 2000, it became the first ever sporting goods company in China to utilize an ERP system. Recently, it has begun to create an O2O omni-channel inventory information sharing. Informatization has become a vital step in Li-Ning’s company management process, and logistics comprises the next step in informatization along with the oTMS collaboration platform.
