Heilan crosses revenue milestone with tech

Wuxi-based apparel retail chain Heilan Group Co Ltd became the city's first enterprise to generate more than 100 billion yuan in revenue, thanks to adoption of state-of-the-art technologies.

Storing and sorting immense quantities of goods, and logistics, used to be the biggest headache for retailers like Heilan, which owns more than 5,000 stores across China.

But radio-frequency identification or RFID technology, which embeds a little chip in the label of each garment, solved the problem.
