Alan Lim started buying and selling items on eBay while attending university in the UK. Studying price patterns, he noticed an intriguing trend \u2013 cameras sold for lower prices when there were football games and for higher prices on rainy days. Deducing that this was a result of people spending more time online in bad weather, he started building his enterprise based on this granular level of market understanding, and the business has grown since.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOnline shopping throughout the world has seen enormous growth over the last 10 years,\u201d says Lim. \u201cWe have seen a corresponding growth in demand, from both within China and elsewhere, for an efficient and reliable e-commerce partner. Our business has grown in terms of the size of our team as well as the types of services we offer our partners, who seek full e-commerce solutions, from global payments, to international fulfillment, to digital marketing, for both international brands like Skype and Philips, and Chinese manufacturers who sell globally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The company offers a suite of services that allows any online merchant to sell internationally, leveraging partnerships throughout the e-commerce spectrum. All of its merchant partners benefit through the aggregation of its services, both in cost-effectiveness, as well as exceptional quality in critical areas such as delivery networks, fraud prevention, customer service and digital marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOur extensive experience in global cross-border e-commerce shows that we practice what we preach. By giving other online merchants access to our services, we are able to pass on knowledge to benefit our partners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Engaging in B2B with the same devotion as its own consumer-driven ventures exhibits the effectiveness of the company\u2019s solutions. \u201cOften, we start working with new brands still at the funding stage, and help them grow their business exponentially across borders,\u201d says Lim. \u201cThe combination of the experience we have in operating our own e-commerce stores across the globe, coupled with providing these services for other online merchants is a rare combination in both Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Developing cross-border online business has as many quirks as perks. \u201cWe learned the intricacies of secure shipping networks, payment processing, fraud screening, and foreign exchange fluctuations on an operational level. The very nature of the Internet means that there will always be people trying to get around whatever new system implemented. Remaining vigilant and never complacent about our ability to overcome these issues keeps us a step ahead.<\/span><\/p>\nTried and Trusted <\/span><\/h3>\n
