HONG KONG, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At Tencent Cloud Day Hong Kong, Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of Tencent, announced a strategic collaboration with UXSoft Global Limited (UXSoft), a retail solutions provider specializing in digital transformation, and fashion retailer BAPE Hong Kong Limited to build a centralized, cloud-native retail management infrastructure for A Bathing Ape (BAPE).

BAPE Hong Kong Limited is the iconic Japanese streetwear brand recognized for its signature camouflage designs and high-demand product releases. Through this collaboration, BAPE Hong Kong Limited is migrating mission-critical point-of-sale (POS) and inventory systems across its Hong Kong flagship stores and global outlets to Tencent Cloud, integrating UXSoft's omnichannel retail suite to unify operations worldwide.

Powering a Global Borderless Retail Operating System

The tripartite collaboration combines UXSoft's fifteen years of fashion retail expertise with Tencent Cloud's enterprise-grade infrastructure to deliver a borderless retail operating system. The integrated ecosystem combines localized insights from BAPE Hong Kong Limited with global cloud scalability, enabling real-time synchronization of limited-edition product launches and VIP membership data across regions.

Tencent Cloud provides a resilient architecture that encompasses Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), networking, and security services. Hosted within Tencent Cloud's high-concurrency environment, UXSoft's retail logic enables BAPE to process high transaction volumes during peak launch periods with low-latency performance and enterprise-grade reliability.

Tencent Cloud's global infrastructure across 23 regions serves as the backbone for BAPE's international expansion. This extensive footprint provides the brand with the agility, data residency options, and AI tools necessary to scale its "drop" model worldwide without operational friction. Having successfully completed its production rollout over the past year, this newly deployed system is built to evolve alongside the continuous growth of BAPE's global retail footprint.

Steven Choi, General Manager of Tencent Cloud Hong Kong & Macau, said, "Our collaboration with both UXSoft, a first mover with Tencent AI technology in their Retail application in Asia Pacific, and BAPE Hong Kong Limited establishes a new benchmark for digital transformation in the global retail sectors.
