Inside Yonyou’s journey through Chinese enterprise software

Yonyou was founded in Beijing in 1988 by Wang Wenjing and began by developing financial and accounting software for Chinese businesses.

How Yonyou developed

The company moved into enterprise resource planning, launching its U8 product line in the 1990s, and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2001. It later expanded from installed ERP software toward cloud services and a broader business innovation platform.

Yonyou in 2026

By 2026, Yonyou provided enterprise applications covering finance, supply chain, human resources, manufacturing and cloud services, primarily to Chinese organisations.

Yonyou’s growth parallels the modernisation of Chinese enterprise IT, from basic computerised accounting through integrated ERP and now cloud-based business platforms.
