Singapore-based e-commerce company Shopmatic has partnered the Asia-Pacific Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Trade Coalition (AMTC), a working committee of the Asia Business Trade Association (ABTA). Partnering with AMTC, the largest MSME-focused group in the Asia-Pacific, will help Shopmatic in building an MSME-friendly environment in line with government policies across multiple geographies.
Anurag Avula, CEO of Shopmatic said, “The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most vibrant, dynamic, and exciting geographies, especially given the rapid technological adoption that the region has witnessed recently. Despite this, many MSMEs are yet to fully tap into the massive business potential that this growing digital penetration represents due to unfamiliarity with technology or a lack of expertise. This is the gap that we, at Shopmatic, have been addressing.
"We have also been working towards building a holistic and well-integrated e-commerce business ecosystem that allows smaller businesses to take their businesses to other markets across the globe through the online medium. The association with AMTC will allow us to reach out to many more businesses in the region, as well as to bridge the gap between smaller businesses and government agencies, furthering our mission of enabling MSMEs to scale their operations online, conveniently and without hassles.”
The association with AMTC will also allow Shopmatic to gain greater participation and voice in trade development initiatives across the region. Businesses in selected high-potential sectors will also be able to access the benefits offered by both organisations as part of their memberships with either Shopmatic or AMTC.
Annie Fong, spokesperson for the AMTC said, “Our main goal at AMTC is to advocate and facilitate the growth of international trade in the region for micro, small, and medium enterprises. Shopmatic’s e-commerce platform will enable members of AMTC to quickly develop an online presence, start selling, and growing trade in the region. Existing subscribers on Shopmatic will benefit from AMTC’s expanding library of resources, region-wide network, and support from a pan-Asian trade association.”
The Shopmatic platform has assisted more than 110,000 customers in India, Singapore, and Hong Kong to build an online presence. The platform provides assistance for businesses to create their online stores – from choosing free domains and templates to importing pictures and textual content, facilitating listings on major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and eBay and accepting digital payments.
