BEIJING, Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Quhuo Limited
(NASDAQ: QH) ("Quhuo" or the "Company"), a leading gig economy
platform from China, today
announced that its hospitality services-focused subsidiary, Lailai
Information Technology (Shenzhen)
Co., Ltd. ("Lailai"), has signed a comprehensive strategic
partnership with Gemeite Technology Co., Ltd. ("Gemeite") to
empower flexible employment and realize efficient manpower
deployment in the field of property management services.
The co-operation marks Quhuo's strategy transformation from B2B
to 2-Family (B2F), which also reflects Quhuo's diversified business
sense. The two parties will actively build a community service
brand with the aim of becoming the leading operator for property
owners within communities, whilst simultaneously supporting
China's growing flexible
employment trend.
The agreement was signed at Lailai's Shenzhen headquarters by Lailai CEO
Luo Haizhou and Gemeite General
Manager Yan Zheheng. Under the
agreement, Quhuo and Gemeite will work hand-in-hand with property
management companies to establish a community household service
system – Laizhenge – that leverages Quhuo's extensive workforce
platform, tech-driven employment management system and customized
services. The two parties have served top property management
platforms such as Changcheng Property and are expected to cover
over 10 million households. The partnership is currently underway
in Tianjin and Changsha, two of the nation's largest gig
economies.
While the real estate market is booming with service personnel,
the industry is still facing a challenge in matching manpower to
rising demand. Lack of standardized service products for property
management hampers market growth and brings inconvenience for
property owners. Together with Gemeite, Quhuo's hospitality
business aims to fill this gap by offering a one-stop 'services
supermarket' that enables individual communities to access a hub of
services, from cleaning to housekeeping, maintenance, among others.
Owners and residents can place orders via the platform and access a
variety of service providers while enjoying reliable, transparent,
and best-in-class solutions.
Quhuo's smart system matches food delivery, online ride-hailing,
cleaning, and homestay workers with community service orders based
on location, skills, available time, age, gender and more. By
providing services according to the needs of community and family
life services, Quhuo can further maximize the value of its flexible
employee network. Cooperation with property managers nationwide
enables Quhuo to leverage its vast resources and offer services at
scale to all of China's major
cities.
Quhuo is a gig economy platform that offers multi-scenario labor
solutions for China's wide-ranging
service industries. The platform boasts over 60,000 workers, and
the company has established cooperative relationships with
companies across 122 cities nationwide. On average, it places over
1.3 million life services orders to nearly 3 million users daily.
With service sites across the country, Quhuo offers access to a
deep pool of talent as well as considerable competitive advantages,
due to its flexible gig economy worker allocation model within a
given region.
"Quhuo is powered by an ambitious vision, and this partnership
with Gemeite will enable both parties to reach even greater
heights. Working closely together, we will establish a one-stop
neighborhood 'services supermarket' and build partnerships with
property management companies across the country. In addition, our
vast network of services, integrated online-offline service model,
and links with cross-over brands enable us to create a true
ecosystem of everyday life services across wide-ranging scenarios.
This will allow us to consolidate and elevate the gig economy –
making it more efficient by enhancing the allocation of manpower,
and opening up new opportunities for workers," said Luo Haizhou,
CEO of Lailai, Quhuo's hospitality services-focused subsidiary.
The cooperation between Quhuo and Gemeite is a significant step
forward for Quhuo's multi-scenario and flexible employment model.
Moving forward, Quhuo will continue to integrate the upstream and
downstream industrial chain, advance the development of the gig
economy ecosystem, and bring its innovative model to a wider range
of industries.
