Linear Capital Portfolio Company "Lingshu Intelligent" Named Among Shanghai's First 2023 "Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative" Enterprises

In June 2023, LingShu Intelligence was named among the first batch of Shanghai's "Little Giant" enterprises for the year — just two years after the company was founded. The average age of Little Giant SMEs is nearly ten years. Once again, the consistently fast-growing LingShu has proven itself one of the most efficient teams in the industry.

As a newcomer in industrial software services, how did LingShu Intelligence achieve such exceptional results in manufacturing, a sector that demands deep expertise?

Domestic High-End Industrial Software:

Without Specialization and Precision, There Is No Foothold

Production operations management software serves as a critical link in high-end manufacturing — the "brain and nervous system" of manufacturing enterprises. In recent years, it has gradually moved from behind the scenes to center stage, playing an increasingly vital role. In 2021, industrial software was listed alongside basic raw materials and high-end chips as one of the most urgent priorities in technological breakthroughs. LingShu was founded precisely against this backdrop.

In the history of industrial software, companies like Siemens and Dassault Systèmes have benefited from long-term accumulated expertise, establishing what are effectively recognized global standards and maintaining long-standing dominance in China and international markets. Currently, only a handful of domestic companies have the potential to compete with them. As a representative of domestic industrial software, LingShu Intelligence has now become a leading enterprise in the niche of production operations management software. Achieving this required us to be both specialized and precise.

Independent Innovative Startup:

Without Distinctiveness and Innovation, There Is No Breakthrough

As a startup team, LingShu possesses unique advantages drawn from accumulated experience. However, we also know that to become an industrial software enterprise oriented toward the future and the continuously evolving Chinese manufacturing sector, only sustained investment in products and technology can help our customers achieve better development. To accomplish this, we must be both distinctive and innovative.

LingShu's "Distinctiveness": Building Specialized Features for Chinese Manufacturing Enterprises

The pace of development in Chinese manufacturing is globally unprecedented. In just a few decades, manufacturing enterprises have shifted their goals from improving quality and increasing volume to setting industry standards. Globalization, conglomeration, intelligentization, and personalized management have become increasingly common topics of discussion. In certain scenarios, even traditional world-class high-end industrial software can no longer meet the management needs of Chinese enterprises. After in-depth research, the LingShu Intelligence team has locally adapted and introduced operations management functions better suited to Chinese enterprises, helping companies achieve comprehensive upgrades at the top-level intelligent management layer, the middle-level systematic collaboration layer, and the frontline execution efficiency layer.

LingShu's "Innovation": Exploring Intelligent Technologies, Unlocking Technological Value

On the path of exploring cutting-edge technologies, LingShu's product and R&D team has also been continuously applying AI technology to practical scenarios such as intelligent hierarchical indicator systems, management early-warning platforms, and enterprise knowledge graphs, achieving significant cost reduction and intelligent management. To date, LingShu holds more than ten invention patents in frontier technology fields, likewise placing it at the industry's leading edge.

"Little Giant" Is the New National Policy,

Little Giant Enterprises Are the STAR Market Reserve Force

"Little Giant" — specialization, precision, distinctiveness, and innovation — is the inevitable path for SME development, and innovation-driven high-quality development is a new national policy that the state strongly encourages and supports. "Little Giant" aligns with two of Porter's competitive strategies: the "focus strategy" (specialization and precision) and the "differentiation strategy" (distinctiveness and innovation), representing a high-level integration of both.

Among STAR Market-listed companies representing domestic technology innovation enterprises, Little Giant enterprises have become the absolute main force. LingShu Intelligence is also committed, through continuous breakthrough efforts, to becoming a contributor to the nation's manufacturing upgrade and development.

Just two years after its founding, LingShu is honored to be selected for the 2023 first batch of provincial-level "Little Giant" enterprises. This represents government and customer recognition of LingShu's product innovation capabilities and technical level, as well as their expectations and encouragement for LingShu's future.
