About Asiasea

Asiasea Seafood Co., Ltd was co-founded by Asiasea, Meituan, and New Hope Group. It is one of the leading Internet companies in the seafood industry in China, and was granted the title Model e-Commerce Company by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China. Headquartered in Dalian, China, Asiasea Seafood Co., Ltd has six wholly-owned subsidiaries and three joint ventures, including one of the leading cold chain logistics companies in Northeast China.

Challenges

As Asiasea Seafood’s orders increased dramatically, it faced unprecedented pressure. The company needed to find a new way to quickly respond to orders and deliver products on time, which required a thorough transformation of their traditional seafood supply chains and logistics management.

  • The company had many R&D departments, whose responsibilities and coding permissions were determined in kick-off meetings, but not clearly defined or managed under an effective system. Misoperations were thus likely to occur
  • Asiasea Seafood's logistics and supply chain projects could only be managed within the company's LAN. Project members on business trips or working off-site could only submit code or view project progress through company colleagues, which was time-consuming and hindered code development.
  • Late feedback collection was another issue. Asiasea Seafood served customers from all over China, among which there were few local customers that could visit the company to learn of its software development progress and provide feedback. Most customer feedback could be collected only after software was launched, which could not help to improve quality before delivery.

At the beginning of 2018, Asiasea Seafood officially introduced HUAWEI CLOUD DevCloud, a one-stop cloud R&D platform providing project management, test management, code hosting, code checking, compilation & building, deployment, release warehouse, and pipeline functions, offering targeted solutions to Asiasea Seafood's pain points.

    Solution

    1. Easy rights management

    HUAWEI CLOUD DevCloud defined many roles with different permissions, each allowing specific operations within a certain scope. The role of an employee could be easily modified and checked, facilitating management and auditing.


    2. R&D anytime, anywhere empowered by the cloud

    All R&D services of HUAWEI CLOUD DevCloud were available online to local and remote developers when they logged in to their accounts. The R&D environment and scenarios were unified, and project progress was updated online in real time, which greatly reduced communication costs, removed geo-restrictions, and greatly improved the development and delivery of logistics and supply chain projects.


    3. On-cloud interaction with customers

    HUAWEI CLOUD DevCloud is seamlessly interconnected with HUAWEI CLOUD resources. Asiasea Seafood hosted their code on the cloud and granted access to customers, collecting their feedback and making improvements accordingly during software development and testing.
