Phú Nhuận Jewellery Joint Stock Company (PNJ) has won a Vietnam Technology Excellence Award in the Cloud-Retail category at the Asian Technology Excellence Awards hosted by Asian Business Review. 

The Asian Technology Excellence Awards honour the most outstanding technological projects and innovations, and recognise exceptional companies that are riding the digital disruption wave to lead digital transformation journeys in their respective industries.

The awards are judged and given on a country-level basis.

PNJ has developed a cloud computing strategy to meet the needs of its retail operations, especially during peak season, and to get closer to its customers to provide a more complete, multi-faceted and seamless shopping journey.

Using the most advanced cloud platform solutions, the company has flexibly increased system capacity by up to 500 per cent with the most optimal cost planning, reducing thousands of hours wasted on internal operations and increasing sales productivity by approximately 200 per cent. 

PNJ also successfully transformed its entire ERP and other systems to the cloud. This is a major improvement in the employee experience, as employees can work seamlessly across all systems from anywhere at any time and increase their productivity significantly. 

Additionally, thanks to its multi-cloud strategy, PNJ can deliver greater satisfaction to both customers and employees and acquire many new business opportunities. 

“The cloud strategy we have implemented over the past two years is just the first step in our overall digital strategy to become a digitally enabled organisation over the next four years. Our goal is to transform ourselves technologically and stay ahead in the competitive landscape.

“We firmly believe that technology is no longer an option but has become a key factor in increasing PNJ's strong competitiveness in the market," the company said in a press release. — VNS
