Easy: Exabytes’ virtual mall

Exabytes Network (Exabytes) has announced its expansion of virtual mall (http://mall.easy.my), increasing the scale of merchants to over 6000. Exabytes expects to grow their merchant list to at least 10,000 by year-end in its pursuit to build and maintain the nation’s largest virtual mall.

Easy.my is home to more products and services which are typically found in a physical mall as packages for outdoor adventures are on sale on the site as well. Products categories include Wellness, Beauty, Outdoor adventures, Home living, Sports and Leisure to name a few.

With a staggering number of over 50,000 products on the Easy.my virtual mall, Exabytes has set plans in motion to extend their services to other channels. Of late, there is an increased trend toward support for multichannel retail and Exabytes is responding to the trend by investing in mobile technology as well as social media to engage customers as well as empower vendors.

More specifically, Exabytes’ plans to grow in line with the mobility trend include Facebook applications created to cater to Gen-Y’s tendency to browse leisurely through mobile devices.

Exabytes CEO, Chan Kee Siak, said “We are excited to continue our plans for and mobile and social media expansion on Easy.my. The expansion is part of Exabytes’ commitment to connecting merchants and shoppers. In line with the expansion, Easy.my has extended to Facebook. Mobility and social media are exciting avenues as it provides us with new channels to reach potential shoppers. In turn, it delivers a new metric of success.”

Extended to tap Facebook

Launched in July 2011, Easy.my saw success quickly. By the end of the same year Easy.my had over 3700 merchants. From a merchant’s standpoint, Easy.my is hassle-free and cost-effective. With a user-friendly drag and drop interface, merchants may easily upload and insert product images, product listing with shopping cart and add new sub-pages. Equipped with auto-generated invoicing and receipt – Easy.my becomes a cost-effective, one stop solution to an online business.

Chan explains, “As online shopping has become commonplace in most urban countries, Exabytes aims to accelerate the same trend here in Malaysia with Easy.my. We will continue to focus on new ways to improve and simplify eCommerce for online merchants. Built on a simple interface, it would help businesses streamline operations to cut costs, increase efficiencies and drive new revenue”

“By expanding Easy.my to a social media and mobile platform, it opens doors to merchants and shoppers alike. Through social media, a trail could be formed from an existing shopper to a potential shopper and that presents an opportunity to generate more customers,” stated Chan.

Easy.my is hosted on Exabytes’ system and provides an integrated platform where it automates and streamlines the back office processes to enable merchants and customers to more effectively manage orders, inventory, accounting, marketing and more.
