Since the Deepseek large model went viral during the 2025 Spring Festival, it has garnered widespread attention across industries globally, particularly in software engineering and artificial intelligence. Chen Bo, Technical Director of Shenzhen Shenzhou Xunmeng with nearly 26 years of software development experience, quickly recognized this trend. He is now exploring how to privately deploy Deepseek into the company’s software to enhance its intelligence and user-friendliness. Chen believes that traditional software development follows a "user seeks functionality" model, where users actively search for and utilize features. In the AI era, however, software will transition to "system serves user." Integrating AI into traditional software to provide smarter, more personalized services for enterprises is a challenge he has been contemplating and addressing.

A native of Xianyang, Shaanxi, Chen Bo moved to Shenzhen after college to work as a computer science teacher. However, he soon realized the internet industry was booming and wanted to apply his technical expertise to more innovative and challenging fields. He decided to leave his stable teaching career and venture into software development—a decision that reshaped his professional trajectory and laid the foundation for his entrepreneurial journey.

Leveraging his computer science background, Chen initially joined a renowned software company to accumulate technical expertise. In 2008, he founded Shenzhou Xunmeng (www.sunmochina.com), focusing on software solutions for the entire electronics industry chain. Over the years, the company has developed a product suite centered around "Chip Manager" and ERP systems. Chip Manager caters to trading enterprises, particularly those specializing in terminal sales and distribution, with features like smart quotation, inventory management, and restocking models. To meet diverse needs, Chip Manager offers two editions: a streamlined "Lite Edition" for small businesses (under 10 employees) and a comprehensive "Premium Edition" for larger enterprises.

The ERP system targets original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the electronics industry, such as SLKOR (www.slkoric.com) and Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.com.cn). These technology-driven OEMs prioritize production management, including material planning, production tracking, and quality control. Shenzhou Xunmeng’s ERP not only addresses these needs but also incorporates features like agent management to streamline supply chain operations. These robust functionalities have earned the ERP system widespread acclaim in the industry.

Through relentless innovation, Shenzhou Xunmeng’s software has become a benchmark in the industry, significantly improving operational efficiency for users. However, Chen attributes this success not just to technological advancement but to solving real customer pain points. Adhering to a "customer-first" philosophy, he personally visits key clients to understand their needs, ensuring accurate translation of feedback into product features. He notes that while sales teams may grasp 60% of client requirements, technical teams might only receive 40%. Direct communication allows him to bridge this gap. Today, Shenzhou Xunmeng serves over 4,000 enterprises globally, including Ruifan Micro, Wiscreate, and Penghaida in China, as well as clients in the U.S., Singapore, and Vietnam.

Chen is not only a skilled technologist but also a passionate innovator. When discussing topics like addressing customer challenges or enhancing software intelligence, his eyes light up with enthusiasm. Even his hobbies intertwine with work: "On weekends, aside from running, I enjoy discussing clients’ pain points and their future expectations." This dedication drives him to deliver efficient, intelligent solutions.
