Youxin Technology is a small Chinese SaaS and PaaS software company headquartered in Guangzhou that helps mid-tier retail brands in China digitalize their operations. Youxin's core product is a PaaS development platform that lets retail enterprises build and run custom digital applications without managing their own IT infrastructure. On top of this platform, Youxin offers four pre-built SaaS modules: Distribution Cloud (distributor and reseller management), Store Cloud (inventory, ordering, and store operations), E-Commerce Cloud (online sales including WeChat mini programs and social commerce), and Customer Cloud (CRM, membership, and omnichannel engagement). Youxin targets mid-tier Chinese brands in FMCG, cosmetics, and food and beverage — typically companies with complex multi-tier offline distribution networks that need digital tools to manage channels, inventory, and customer data. Youxin generates revenue through three streams: professional services (the largest, covering CRM deployment, custom development, and per-user annual subscriptions), payment channel fees (a percentage of transactions processed within the CRM system), and software license fees. Contracts are typically one year with upfront payment. In FY2025, Youxin acquired a 51% stake in Celnet Technology, one of the larger Salesforce partners in China, expanding Youxin's service capabilities. The customer base is very small — just 13 customers in FY2025 — and revenue is highly concentrated, with the top three customers accounting for 76% of revenue.
