INTRODUCTION SHOPEE

Shopee is a Singaporean multinational technology company that specialises in e-commerce. The company launched in Singapore in 2015 and now shopee is the best e-commerce in southeast asia. Shopee is one of the mobile-centric marketplace that users can browse, shop and sell products. They want to compete with other e-commerce companies such as Lazada, Coupang, Tokopedia and AliExpress.

APPLICATION SUPPORT ENTREPRENEURS’ DAY TO DAY OPERATION

Shopee is giving opportunities to entrepreneurs out there to penetrate domestic and foreign markets through the digital market they have done. This application can help new or old entrepreneurs to venture into midwifery business by doing online sales. Therefore, they can sell various items they want whether cheap or expensive because shopee have no limit on items to sell. How can we see that shopee help a lot for entrepreneurs? In 2020, The covid pandemic has occurred throughout the country including Malaysia. This has resulted in entrepreneurs losing their sales because all countries are forced to lock down to reduce covid infection.

The pandemic hit rural SMEs hard. Here’s how Shopee helps them bounce back

Generally speaking, these small enterprises lag behind bigger companies in the digital transformation, and rural entrepreneurs have a particularly low tech adoption rate because of a lack of internet access, crucial expertise, and technology. The pandemic has brought 60 million new consumers online, necessitating the adoption of digitization by these SMEs if they are to survive.

Although internet connectivity in the nation’s less metropolitan areas is still far from ideal, the pandemic has demonstrated that even a simple link could have a profound impact on local entrepreneurs. One illustration is Mohd Ghazali, a former instructor from the Sabak Bernam region.

“During the first lockdown in March 2020, I spent most of my time planning and doing home-based teaching and learning,” he recalls.

Mohd Ghazali and his wife suffered before starting their internet store since their market was constrained by the number of people they could physically meet, the number of jars they could carry, and the cash-only payments they could accept.

All of that changed with Shopee, which provided the entrepreneur with digital tools to promote his products, carry out online transactions, and handle logistics, making it much simpler to run his firm.

What was initially a modest endeavour has subsequently grown into a successful online business. He currently makes an average of RM 30,000 every month and has added local snacks to his product line.

According to Kenneth Soh, manager of marketing campaigns at Shopee Malaysia, “rural entrepreneurs have the opportunity to expose their items, such as fresh vegetables or handicrafts, to a wider audience without expensive prices.”

We want to lower these obstacles and assist merchants in taking use of the advantages of the digital economy, says Soh.

So, shopee is very important in times when an entrepreneur needs to recover in a sales slump. This can be proven by the stories that have been shown and nowadays most people just want to find the easy way, which is by searching online without having to go out. 

Shopee Advantages

1. Online shopping’s convenience: Consumers can make purchases from the convenience of their homes or places of employment. The internet simplifies and facilitates shopping for the consumer. The transactions can be cancelled with ease as well.

2. The top six justifications cited by consumers for online shopping

  • It reduces effort and time.
  • Shopping at home is more convenient.
  • A large selection of products are offered.
  • Good price reductions or discounts.
  • Learn all there is to know about the product.
  • We can contrast different brands and models.

2. Shopping without pressure: Salespeople typically try to persuade customers to purchase products in physical locations. While there may be some strain, internet retailers never put any pressure on their customers.

3. Contrasts: Businesses showcase their whole product line in an effort to draw customers with a variety of tastes and demands. After comparing the finish, features, and prices of the products on display, this enables the customers to select from a variety of models. Occasionally, price comparisons are also available online.

4. The existence of an online store: The shopping centre is open every day of the year, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So, wherever the vendor and purchasers are, time does not provide a barrier.

Shopee Disadvantages
 
1. A delivery delay: Shipment delays are the result of prolonged periods and improper inventory management. A product can be chosen, purchased, and paid for online in as little as 15 minutes, yet it can take up to three weeks to arrive at the customer’s door. 
 
2. Online stores do not offer significant discounts: E-tailers find it challenging to compete with offline platforms because physical retailers offer discounts to draw in clients.
 
3. Online shopping lacks interaction: Price haggling is possible in physical stores between customers and sellers. Customers receive individualised attention from the showroom sales attendant personnel, who also assist them in making purchases. 
 
4. Online shopping without careful scrutiny: A buyer must purchase a product without actually seeing how it appears. Consumers may click and purchase a product they do not actually need. Sometimes a product’s computer images are deceiving. Real-world appearance and colour may differ from digital representations.

Shopee Application Review

My review for this shopee app is good for everyone who is lazy to go out to find things. All services offered are very good and reliable because shopee make “get goods first and then get money”.
Shopee cannot detect that the seller is a scam because many are deceived, especially users who choose to pay cash on delivery. In addition, the goods given are of poor quality through the seller himself or the shopee who damages the goods during the delivery process. Shopee also makes slow deliveries to customers and not exact deliveries that have been set by shopee itself.
