Kaihang Commodities and DingTalk Sign Strategic Partnership for AI-Driven Smart Upgrade in Commodity Trading

Recently, Zhejiang Kaihang Properties Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kaihang Properties") signed a strategic cooperation agreement with DingTalk in Hangzhou. The two parties will jointly promote the deep integration of AI technology and commodity trading operations, exploring new pathways for intelligent transformation. Hua Yu, Chairman of Kaihang Properties; Zhang Kai, General Manager of Kaihang Properties; Ma Lijun, Vice President of DingTalk; and Chen Weimian, General Manager of DingTalk's East China Region attended the signing ceremony.

Zhejiang Kaihang Properties Co., Ltd. is the core enterprise of Ningbo Development Investment Group’s commodities sector, focusing long-term on ferrous commodities such as steel raw materials and finished steel products. It ranks among the leading industrial comprehensive service providers in the East China region. With an average annual trading volume exceeding 10 billion yuan, Kaihang Properties covers the entire supply chain including supply chain services, cross-border transactions, warehousing, and logistics, backed by profound industry experience.

Addressing Industry Challenges, Building an Intelligent Foundation

Commodity trading features high transaction frequency, capital intensity, and significant risk volatility. It faces persistent challenges such as weak contract risk control, lagging data collaboration, and decision-making reliant on experience under traditional models. Conventional information systems often fail to support its dynamic and ever-changing operational scenarios. DingTalk can deeply adapt to the complex demands of intelligent transformation in bulk commodity trading, rapidly integrating key business processes—such as contracts, finance, and project management—through low-code solutions and AI Agents. Meanwhile, DingTalk’s open ecosystem will strongly support Kaihang Properties in connecting upstream and downstream partners, building an efficient industrial collaboration network.

Three Key Cooperation Areas Driving Deep Transformation

Built on shared vision, both parties will focus on three major areas of cooperation.

First, co-building the dedicated “Digital Intelligence Kaihang” office platform to reshape work methods in the AI era, achieving deep integration in contract risk control, financial accounting, project management, and corporate knowledge management, thereby unleashing employee productivity.

Second, jointly developing vertical large language models for commodity trading. By combining DingTalk’s technological strengths with Kaihang Properties’ extensive industry expertise, they will collaborate on large models tailored to the commodity distribution sector, tackling common challenges in risk alerting, dynamic pricing, logistics optimization, and trade matching.

Third, actively advancing ecosystem integration to drive digital transformation across the industry.

Hua Yu, Chairman of Kaihang Properties, said at the signing ceremony:

Kaihang Properties will actively embrace the new ways of working in the AI era. Our partnership with DingTalk goes beyond a simple platform upgrade—it represents a profound shift in our business operations. The birth of “Digital Intelligence Kaihang” will free employees from tedious administrative tasks, enabling them to focus on higher-value work. This step is crucial for enhancing Kaihang’s market competitiveness.

Ma Lijun, Vice President of DingTalk, stated:

DingTalk will fully leverage its technological advantages to help Kaihang build next-generation workplace solutions for the AI era, transforming Kaihang’s deep expertise in ferrous metals and other fields into strong momentum for growth. Together, we aim to create a reusable and scalable intelligent foundation for the broader commodity trading industry.

Against the backdrop of intensifying global competition, the collaboration between DingTalk and Kaihang Properties will inject powerful momentum into China’s commodity trading sector. It will also accelerate the industry’s transition from “scale expansion” to “technology-driven” development, charting a new blueprint for high-quality industrial advancement.
