KEY TAKEAWAYS

Over time, the supply chain has evolved. In 2022, supply chain digitization is no longer optional, especially thinking about the pandemic. With supply chain digitization, you can reach your warehouse, inventory, orders, and e-commerce ecosystem in one platform. It gives you full visibility and transparency.

BEST MOMENTS

“When looking at Southeast Asia as a region, of course, it is an exciting and very fast-growing market. You have a very young generation market going to come up in the next 10 to 15 years and these are the guys that will drive the economy and entire digital trades.”

“If you look at it, for Malaysia, considering whatever political or history we have, I think we have stability. We are economically very stable, politically stable, and also what is really unique is that Malaysia is like a melting pot of cultures and raises. So, it is really easy to connect with people in Malaysia.”

“The level of disruption in the global supply chain right now only tells us one thing which is there is an urgent need to be able to respond to the situation in real-time. How can this be done? This can only be done if the supply chain is visible and transparent. The digitization of supply chain is not an option anymore.”

“Lockdown forced us to think really hard. Not only do we digitalize all of our internal operations and the way we communicate onboard or with clients. We could do remote employment today in any country, but it forces us to think that we need how this platform technology grows.”

“What we did was we unify the core components of the supply chain. The warehouse, the inventory, the orders, and the e-commerce ecosystem. So, imagine these four key components and we unified them into one technology on a platform as a service and we called it cloud supply chain. This gives full visibility to any retailers and brand owners out there.”
