Kick-off｜Kingdee & Topsheen Shipping Launch ERP Project to Jointly Forge New Digital Management Practices in the Shipping Industry

On August 20, 2026, Topsheen Shipping Singapore Pte Ltd (“Topsheen Shipping”) and Kingdee International Software Group (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (“Kingdee Singapore”) successfully held the kick-off meeting for the Kingdee AI Suite digital transformation project. Dr. Liu Yujie, Co-President of Kingdee International Holdings and General Manager of Kingdee Singapore, and Kingdee Singapore team, together with Topsheen Shipping’s CFO, senior executives and core members, attended the meeting and jointly launched this in-depth digital transformation collaboration. Topsheen Shipping has selected Kingdee as its long-term partner for digital and intelligent transformation, based on the alignment between Kingdee’s AI product solutions and actual management needs, as well as recognition of Kingdee team’s professional expertise accumulated in the shipping industry. This collaboration will leverage Kingdee’s AI system capabilities to build a standardized, integrated, and intelligent financial management platform for Topsheen Shipping, supporting its global expansion and group-level management.

Topsheen Shipping, founded in 2007, is an international shipping enterprise integrating route operation, fleet and ship management, intelligent logistics, port planning, and new energy development. With legal entities in Singapore, Hong Kong SAR and others, as well as branches across Africa and South America, Topsheen Shipping has established a comprehensive global service network. The fleet features the patented “Sea Camel” 48500 DWT carriers and with a total capacity of 450,000 tons. Its core liner routes cover over 30 ports in 18 countries across East and West Africa, as well as major ports in South America, supplemented by non-liner services covering Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and North America. Topsheen Shipping has built a strong reputation and influence in the global shipping industry.

Addressing Key Challenges Amid Business Expansion

For shipping enterprises with multi-entity, multi-currency, cross-regional, and interconnected operations, digital management requires more than the introduction of an individual system. It requires the integration of business and financial information, standardized management processes, and effective coordination across different operating entities.

As Topsheen Shipping continues to expand its routes and business scale, its management scenarios across multi-entity coordination, multi-currency settlement, cross-regional operations, and voyage management have become increasingly diverse. In a new phase of business growth, Topsheen is further exploring digital solutions to enhance overall management efficiency.

Drawing on its experience in enterprise management and its continued exploration of shipping and freight forwarding scenarios, Kingdee will leverage Kingdee AI Suite to address key management needs across finance, supply chain, multi-entity operations, and business-finance integration, providing a digital foundation for Topsheen Shipping’s further development. Regarding this collaboration, the CFO of Topsheen Shipping stated: “Kingdee’s team demonstrated professional industry expertise and business understanding during our communications, and their product solution aligns well with our actual operational needs. This is also a key reason why we chose to partner with Kingdee for this project.”

Empowering Topsheen: Building an Integrated Digital Management Platform

With the core philosophy of “unified accounting standards, unified business processes, and unified data metrics,” Kingdee will help Topsheen Shipping build an integrated digital management platform that covers the financial and supply chain businesses of multiple organizations. Rather than simply digitizing individual processes, the project will focus on the management scenarios that are particularly relevant to shipping operations, such as multi-entity collaboration, multi-currency financial management, voyage- and project-based business analysis, etc. By bringing these processes onto a more unified platform, the project will help Topsheen Shipping strengthen operational visibility, process standardization, and cross-entity collaboration.

• Unified Financial Management: Establish a standardized financial management framework that combines group-level governance with independent accounting, strengthening ability to access, analyze, and manage financial information
• Business-Finance Integration: Connect key business and financial processes across sales, procurement, revenue, and costs, while capturing operational data by voyage and project to provide a stronger foundation for granular business analysis and decision-making
• Intercompany Collaboration: Establish standardized collaboration and reconciliation mechanisms for intercompany transactions and settlements, improving transparency and efficiency across the group
• Multi-Currency Financial Management: Integrate relevant business and financial data across multi-currency receivables, payables, and cash management scenarios, improving financial visibility and management efficiency
• Process Standardization: Gradually bring key processes into a unified digital platform, improving process standardization, information retention, and traceability

Building New Digital Practices for the Shipping Industry

The official kick-off of the Topsheen Shipping project marks an important milestone in the digital collaboration between the two parties and represents another important step in Kingdee’s continued exploration of digital practices in the shipping industry.

Kingdee Singapore will maintain close collaboration with Topsheen Shipping and advance the system implementation based on actual business requirements, jointly establishing a benchmark for digital transformation in the shipping industry.

Going forward, Kingdee will continue to deepen its expertise in the shipping and freight forwarding industries, leveraging its 33 years of experience and relying on its mature enterprise management capabilities, deep industry practices, and professional delivery services to develop practical and scalable industry solutions based on real-world shipping business scenarios, supporting more shipping and freight forwarding enterprises in moving from business growth toward management excellence.
