91APP (Stock code: 6741), the first native SaaS company listed in Taiwan, has announced a consolidated revenue of NT$131 million for April 2025, marking a new record for the month. This represents a 9.49% year-over-year increase. Cumulative consolidated revenue for January to April reached NT$543 million, a 10.35% growth compared to the same period last year, reflecting sustained positive business momentum.

In addition to its strategic focus on digital advertising and Retail AI development this year, 91APP recently launched its Inventory Management System (IMS). This all-in-one omni-channel solution integrates inventory across physical stores and e-Commerce platforms with intelligent allocation features, effectively realizing the full benefits of OMO and gaining strong traction among large retail clients.

According to research by global consulting firm IHL Group, retail losses due to out-of-stock or overstocked inventory are expected to reach US$1.7 trillion worldwide in 2024. These losses not only reflect financial strain but also rising costs in warehousing, labor, and capital. In Taiwan's fast-changing retail and e-Commerce landscape, inventory allocation and management have become critical in controlling operational costs and enhancing customer experience.

Steven Ho, Chairman of 91APP,emphasized that among the three core pillars of retail—people, products, and places—the integration of physical and digital merchandise is the most challenging for most brands. Overcoming the complexity of online and offline inventory systems and distribution mechanisms to build a unified inventory pool is the key to achieving true OMO (Offline-Merge-Online).

Historically, inventory systems were designed for single-channel operations, with store and e-Commerce systems operating independently. The lack of integration between heterogeneous systems often creates resistance within organizations, as store managers are reluctant to release inventory for redistribution. Poor inventory management can lead to over-selling, stock shortages, and inefficiencies, ultimately undermining OMO initiatives.

To address these bottlenecks and meet the demands of a rapidly changing market, 91APP's IMS offers a comprehensive solution that integrates multi-channel inventory, order, and shipping management.

• Advantage 1: Centralized management of orders and shipments across multiple channels, including physical stores and online platforms such as D2C brand websites and B2C marketplaces, ensuring seamless fulfillment.
  
• Advantage 2: Unified inventory across online and offline channels with intelligent allocation. The system automatically balances inventory in real-time based on sales performance across channels, reducing dead stock risks and establishing effective allocation strategies. This allows for immediate response to localized demands, optimizing inventory costs, and improving delivery efficiency. IMS empowers large retail clients to enhance operational efficiency, create sales flexibility, and maximize OMO benefits.
  

Inventory management is a core competitive factor for brands. By leveraging 91APP's inventory pooling technology and system upgrades, stores are no longer just points of display and sale but are transformed into dynamic nodes for flexible allocation, rapid fulfillment, and revenue generation. When stores become the last-mile fulfillment hubs for a brand's omni-channel strategy, inventory evolves into a strategic asset, unlocking store potential and serving as a growth engine for brands.

Looking ahead, 91APP will continue to deepen the integration of people, goods, and venues in retail, effectively implementing OMO and helping clients build efficient and agile omni-channel operations. This will drive D2C growth and unlock new opportunities for brand success.
