'The entire theme of the event – smart marketing, smart technology, smart commerce – aligns with what we have built at justified CommercePay general manager Patricia Silvanus. 'We showed how you can go from campaign ideation all the way to order fulfilment and last-mile delivery – all within our ecosystem. 'That's the level of integration we offer – including robotic warehousing capabilities through LetMeStore which automates storage, picking and packing to help businesses scale faster.' In addition to CommercePay and LetMeStore, the group platform also includes SiteGiant, BizApp and Enterprise, among others. Collectively, they serve more than eight million SMEs across seven ASEAN markets by offering a unified stack of services spanning omnichannel storefronts, social commerce tools, logistics management and payment integration. This scale and inter-connectedness are what allows the Group to support clients at every stage of their digital journey – from micro-sellers to regional brands. As online retailers continues to expand their share of the total retail market – now estimated between 10% and 15% – the group is positioning itself as the default digital growth partner for Malaysian businesses. 'The line between offline and online retail has blurred,' observed Kuna. 'At we are empowering brands bridge that divide by offering a unified ecosystem that connects physical retail operations with digital storefronts, payments and fulfilment so businesses can meet customers wherever they are.'
