On April 9th, the 2026 Suning Yicai Cloud Partner Conference, titled "Intelligent Procurement of New Ecology, Cloud Chain Creating the Future," was held in Nanjing. The conference gathered representatives from China Internet of Things and over 600 industry leaders to conduct in-depth discussions on the intelligent upgrading of government and enterprise procurement driven by AI and the synergy of supply chain ecology. At the meeting, Suning Yicai Cloud officially released the procurement intelligent agent "AI Lingcai Assistant", and simultaneously upgraded the two ecological engines of Cloud Chain Mall 2.0 and Qingyun Plan, building a collaborative system of "AI intelligent agent+supply chain platform+ecological empowerment", promoting the acceleration of government and enterprise procurement towards intelligent and unmanned transformation.

Suning Cloud President Wang Zhenwei stated that AI is moving from "auxiliary tools" to "digital employees", and the procurement process will become an important breakthrough for improving enterprise efficiency. Around the AI Lingcai Assistant, the platform will continue to open up its capabilities and resources, driving the industry into a new stage driven by intelligent agents.

AI Lingcai Assistant Released, Government and Enterprise Procurement Completed in One Word

AI Lingcai Assistant is a government enterprise procurement intelligent agent that connects the entire procurement chain through a multi-agent collaborative mechanism, achieving an intelligent closed-loop from demand initiation to performance delivery.

In specific applications, Lingcai Assistant can cover the entire process before, during, and after procurement. On the demand side, quickly analyze procurement intentions through natural language understanding capabilities. On the execution end, implement supplier screening, product matching, intelligent price comparison, and solution generation, and provide decision-making references. On the trading side, automatic ordering, invoicing, and performance tracking are supported, significantly reducing manual involvement.

Compared with traditional tools, the breakthrough of AI Lingcai Assistant lies in role upgrading, evolving from an "efficiency tool" to a "digital purchaser" with analytical and decision-making abilities. Through comprehensive analysis of historical procurement data, market prices, and user preferences, the system can output better procurement plans and promote the shift of procurement logic from experience driven to data-driven.

This ability is particularly crucial for small and medium-sized enterprises. Based on the design of "lightweight+low threshold", Lingcai Assistant can independently complete high-frequency operations such as product selection, price comparison, ordering, and invoicing, effectively alleviating problems such as insufficient procurement manpower and complex processes, and achieving a convenient experience of "completing procurement in one sentence".

Facing the complex procurement needs of large enterprises, Suning Yicai Cloud has synchronously launched an intelligent agent matrix, covering key links such as bidding document generation, supplier evaluation, contract review, etc., and supporting integration with enterprise ERP and OA systems to achieve automation and compliance management of the procurement process and improve overall operational efficiency.

Cloud Chain Mall 2.0 is launched, and Qingyun plans to cultivate 50 billion level partners

While deepening the construction of AI capabilities, Suning Yicai Cloud continues to strengthen its supply chain and ecological construction capabilities. As an important supporting system, Cloud Chain Mall 2.0 and the New Qingyun Plan form a "dual wheel drive" ecological engine.

Since its launch in 2025, Cloud Chain Mall has continuously strengthened its supply chain integration and sharing capabilities. The platform has gathered over 1000 brands and more than 20000 SKUs, covering 650 categories, and has achieved large-scale applications in key projects such as State Grid, China Railway, Postal Service, and China National Tobacco, completing a total of 330000 orders. In 2026, Yunlian Mall will upgrade to version 2.0, iterate system functions, and upgrade buyer benefits, with the goal of adding over 500 new key brands and increasing the number of advantageous SKUs to 100000. Simultaneously focusing on supply chain collaboration, integrating brand resources and channel capabilities, connecting the entire chain between suppliers, service providers, and purchasers, promoting the digitization of the entire process of product release, order flow, fulfillment delivery, and after-sales service, and continuously improving procurement efficiency and fulfillment capabilities.

The Qingyun Plan focuses on the growth of ecological partners. Since its launch in 2023, a multi-level partnership system has been formed. Especially in the past year, Suning Yicai Cloud has focused on scene services, refined operations, and industrial product supply chains. The sales of industrial product scenes increased by 33% year-on-year, and the sales of union welfare scenes increased by 59% year-on-year. The cumulative number of purchasing units ordered in the year reached 518000, an increase of 111% year-on-year; The order volume reached 4.3 million, a year-on-year increase of 48.6%, and the platform scale and activity increased synchronously.

Facing a new stage, Qingyun plans to release a new round of three-year development goals: to add over 1600 KA customers, with a total scale of 4000 in three years, expand procurement units from the current 3.74 million to 8 million, cultivate more than 50 partners with an annual transaction scale of over 100 million, and promote an increase in annual order volume from 4.3 million to 14.7 million. At the same time, the number of signed suppliers has increased from 2200 to over 4000, further consolidating the foundation of the platform ecosystem.

By 2026, we will deepen our focus on two core areas and expand our procurement service coverage to include small and medium-sized enterprises

In 2026, Suning Yicai Cloud will strengthen KA customer expansion, make deep breakthroughs in industries such as transportation, manufacturing, energy, and technology, and accelerate the integration of local state-owned enterprises and high-quality private enterprises to assist regional enterprises in the digital transformation of procurement.

At the same time, we will focus on the procurement market for small and medium-sized enterprises, relying on AI intelligent procurement assistants to lower the procurement threshold, focusing on office MRO? We will create standardized and lightweight solutions for high-frequency scenarios such as welfare, and plan to expand our customer base to 2 million small and medium-sized enterprises in the next three years, and increase it to 5 million within five years.

In terms of core scenario construction, the platform continues to deepen the procurement of industrial products and welfare. Introduce top brands in the industrial product field, improve regional supply chains and "last mile" delivery, and promote customized products and demand for independent products; Welfare procurement focuses on holiday benefits, consumption vouchers, and employee care, unleashing the potential of the enterprise service market through self redemption, customized packages, integrated delivery, and other solutions.

2026 Suning Easy Cloud Partner Conference

Suning Yicai Cloud stated that in the future, it will use AI Lingcai Assistant as the core entry point, with Cloud Chain Mall and Qingyun Plan as dual support, continuously deepen the layout of core scenarios, accelerate the expansion of supply chain capabilities and the process of going global, and promote the continuous evolution of government and enterprise procurement towards a more efficient and intelligent direction.
