China's largest home furniture and lifestyle retail chain with 124 stores across 90 cities
Redstar Macalline operates the dominant furniture retail network in China, built on a 1986 foundation through the real estate boom. The tech stack—SAP for enterprise resource planning, CAD/3ds Max for product visualization, and WeChat/Douyin for customer engagement—reflects a retail operator managing physical logistics and omnichannel marketing. Hiring velocity is decelerating while marketing and sales departments are most active, suggesting a consolidation phase focused on optimizing occupancy and merchant partnerships rather than aggressive expansion.
