What It Is

初牛数据/初牛DPS is an inventory, purchasing/sales, and multi-channel marketing service platform aimed at helping brick-and-mortar businesses move online. It is operated by 商甲科技. The product is built around inventory and sales management, and extends into supply-chain wholesale, POS retail store sales, WeChat Mini Program stores, membership management, and marketing campaigns. Its goal is to help offline merchants synchronize online and offline data and coordinate operations across channels.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product supports a PC web portal, a merchant mobile app, an employee mobile app, and a WeChat Mini Program. The PC version uses a B/S architecture, so there is no need to download or install anything—users can register, log in, and start using it. The merchant mobile app supports Android and iOS for mobile office work. The employee app allows staff to view performance tasks, track completion status, check commissions, and manage customer relationships. The Mini Program is used to launch online sales.

On the business side, it covers purchasing, inventory, wholesale, distribution, supply-chain product selection, sales management, web POS, mobile POS, and stored-value membership top-ups. Its marketing toolkit is relatively broad, including member referral rebates, “super purchase” campaigns, price promotions, points, gifts, coupons, product bundles, and group buying.

Pricing and Trial

Public pricing shows a basic annual data review fee of RMB 300/year per ID. The price table also lists a Basic plan at RMB 299/year, an Enhanced plan at RMB 3,600/year, and a Flagship plan at RMB 68,000/year. The main differences between versions are limits on organizations and users, query intervals, import volume, and whether features such as supply-chain product selection, inventory distribution, and distribution management are supported.

The website offers “Experience” and “Apply for Trial” options. Trial applications require information such as company name, account, mobile number, industry, and address. Applications are reviewed within 7 working days, with results sent by SMS. No free version is mentioned.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are that it covers retail stores, wholesale, membership marketing, and Mini Program storefronts, making the feature mix suitable for integrated operations at small and medium-sized trading businesses. The Basic plan has a low entry price, and multi-end collaboration helps reduce duplicate data entry.

The limitations are that enterprise-level details such as security compliance, backups, SLA, and permission models are not disclosed in depth. The API is only described as being able to connect with third-party data, with little documentation or ecosystem information available. The Flagship plan is relatively expensive and should be evaluated together with implementation services and actual business scale.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to small and medium-sized businesses that have offline stores, wholesale/distribution operations, membership programs, or WeChat Mini Program store needs. The website is a domestically registered Chinese site, and based on the available text, it should be directly accessible from China. Payment methods are not disclosed.
