SHANGHAI, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Boqii Holding Limited ("Boqii" or the "Company") (NYSE: BQ), a leading pet-focused platform in China, today announced a strategic partnership with Evetsoft Pet Hospital Management Software ("Evetsoft"), an established market leader in pet hospital SAAS solutions. Together, Boqii and Evetsoft, will launch an online procurement platform tailored for streamlining the procurement process of pet hospitals and clinics. We aim to empower independent pet hospitals and small pet hospital chains nationwide, by providing stable and traceable supplies with better prices.
As pet ownership increases in China, the domestic pet medical market is expected to grow at a double-digit rate in the coming years. According to industry experts, only about 1,800 out of the 15,000 pet hospitals and clinics in China are with a supply chain system that provides the benefits of centralized procurement. The remaining 88% must deal with issues like unstable supply or limited price negotiation capabilities in the multi-layers of distributor networks.
As one of the biggest pet-focused platforms in China, Boqii brings sizeable SKU offerings, pet vertical fulfillment expertise, as well as dedicated and professional after-sales support to the partnership. To complement with Boqii's supply chain advantages, Evetsoft provides a suite of user-friendly software modules that include online medical consultations, membership management, notifications, and event promotions for pet hospitals. Boqii will leverage its pet supply chain expertise while Evetsoft will continue to provide professional software training and hospital-facing customer service to support independent and small pet hospital chains in sourcing the best pet care products with trust and transparency, and ultimately providing more convenient, reliable and professional medical experience to pets and pet parents.
"Pet parents in China are demanding better medical care, as they shift from the pure dietary focus to all-round care for their pets. Through integrating and empowering the independent and small hospital chains, we believe this partnership will be another thrilling and rewarding step forward for our industry chain outreach," said Ms. Lisa Tang, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Boqii, "We look forward to working with more partners to further enhance our service portfolio and optimize our capabilities in better addressing any growing needs in our user community to lead accelerated growth for everyone."
