In this article, you will learn more about how the China-based arm of Sheng Siong Group Ltd used the NC6 ERP & HRM solution for their multi-region business.

Company Profile 

Sheng Siong Supermarket is a Singapore brand founded in 1985. From a small provision shop in heartland Ang Mo Kio, Sheng Siong has grown to become one of Singapore’s top retailers, with over 60 stores island-wide today. Their products include a wide assortment of live, fresh, and chilled produce, such as seafood, meat, fruits, and vegetables, in addition to processed, packaged, and preserved food products as well as general merchandise such as toiletries and essential household products. Sheng Siong also has a selection of house brands to offer customers quality alternatives to national brands at substantial savings.

Project Background

As Sheng Siong plans to expand to China, they have to ensure that the ERP system they are using for the transmission of data addresses the accounting & bookkeeping practices imposed by the Chinese authorities. For instance, China uses Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAP), which is quite different from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The following points are also highlighted:

  • Value Added Tax (VAT): Has to be calculated on Purchase Invoices & Sales Invoices with corresponding account code
  • VAT Invoices: Has to be linked to the Chinese government’s tax control system
  • Internal Reporting: Financial Reports must be able to work on different accounting principles simultaneously.
  • Systems have to cater to bilingual standards
  • HR system has to follow China’s payroll standards for employees (just like CPF & Tax in Singapore)
