🏵 How to manage multiple e-commerce platforms at the same time?
Currently, business on the e-commerce trading floor has become a relatively "Hot" industry with high growth compared to the common ground. However, there are very few people who have enough experience to manage their stalls optimally and scientifically. Let's learn with Timoads how experts can optimally manage multiple e-commerce platforms at the same time!
1️⃣ What is an e-commerce exchange?
• An e-commerce trading floor is a place where buyers and sellers perform the act of buying and selling goods or services based on the internet.
• Sellers will set up online stores on the internet, buyers will access the link provided by sellers or actively search and choose to buy.
• After the seller receives the order information, an intermediary will act to pick up the goods from the seller and deliver to the buyer within a few business days.
2️⃣ What advantages does an e-commerce trading floor have compared to the traditional way of doing business?
It can be said that e-commerce is developing at a rapid pace and if traditional businesses do not convert in time, they will quickly become obsolete compared to the general trend of the world. Why can Timoads make such a claim? Because :
• An e-commerce exchange makes the geographical restriction insignificant anymore. Shoppers can buy goods anywhere, and sellers can do business anywhere as long as "on earth". Interesting, isn't it!
• Sellers do not need to worry about the cost of premises, the cost of hiring sales staff... This generally helps to make the business's product prices more competitive and consumers can buy goods at a lower price than usual.
• Sellers can sell goods 24/24 with a cost of 0 VND. You can still make money even while you sleep.
3️⃣ How many e-commerce exchanges are there?
There are quite a few e-commerce trading floors, but Timoads can list the "big guys" in the Vietnamese e-commerce market in the order below:
• The first is the e-commerce trading platform Shopee. This is the sales platform with the highest number of sellers and buyers in Vietnam today.
• The second is the Lazada e-commerce exchange. This is the second-ranked platform but has the strength of the best performance in the market thanks to the experience from the parent company Alibaba and a separate transportation system, Lex.
• In third place is the Tiki e-commerce exchange. This is probably the only domestic enterprise that can compete with the above two foreign "big men" thanks to the strength of branded goods and high quality. Tiki also has its own logistics and delivery system called TikiNow.
• Next, there are smaller e-commerce exchanges such as Sendo, Voso, Vuivui, Mobile World... These platforms also have all the elements constituting a trading exchange platform. electronic but on a smaller scale and with a modest number of users
• It would be remiss not to mention the fifth e-commerce trading floor, which is the sales website of businesses, the sales platform through social networking channels such as Facebook, Zalo, Tiktok... attracting the majority of individual sellers or small and medium enterprises, selling through branding is the main method.
4️⃣ How to optimize sales on e-commerce exchanges:
Just briefly mentioning the online sales channels above is enough for you to feel a headache, right? So how to optimize sales on these channels?
• You need to clearly determine whether you want to sell for the purpose of increasing revenue or simply promoting the brand. This will help you choose the best selling platform for you.
• Only focus on 1 sales platform and optimize it well, before investing in another platform. Specialization always brings the best results!
• Determine which products are the mainstay and which are solely intended to attract users. The main product must be the product that has a competitive advantage over competitors and brings the main profit for the business. Products used to attract the majority will be popular products suitable for the majority of users and have the most competitive prices compared to the common ground.
• Optimizing selling costs as best as possible, especially in the packaging of goods.
• Customer service must be good for customers to return to buy next time.
• Using sales management software is also an advantage.
5️⃣ Which is the best omnichannel sales management software on the market today?
There are many software on the market today, but depending on your main sales platform, choose the right sales management software. In the framework of this article, Timoads would like to introduce to you 04 software that I find the most professional today.
• The first is Haravan sales management software. This is the most versatile management software in my opinion. Haravan can connect with most e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, Lazada, Tiki... However, its real strength lies in the website part. This is the platform with the most diverse application store that connects directly to your sales website. It is also at the forefront of sales automation on Facebook, Livestream, Mobile App and especially the Google Smart Shopping function that few other platforms can compete with.
• Next is Sapo sales management software. It can be said that Sapo is the successful successor of Haravan. Initially just a small company with "learning" functions from the parent company, but over time, Sapo has gradually proven its formidable position through its professionalism in customer support applications goods in the form of traditional stores such as coffee shops, restaurants, retail stores... and the highlight is Sapo Market, which provides good prices for grocery stores and mini supermarkets.
• In third place, Kiot Viet multi-channel sales management software can be mentioned. This is the pioneering software in optimizing the user experience for retail chains. It also solves very well the problem of how to manage and calculate commissions for collaborators and sales agents. However, the minus point is that the shipping system is confusing and the discount is quite high for each order sold and shipped through Kiot Viet software. This inadvertently leads to an increase in selling costs and the seller cannot sign a contract to transport a better price.
• Finally, the software name has only one word, "Fast". This is the youngest software out of all the software I mentioned above. Because of that, "Fast" is somewhat more prominent than its "elder" in the synchronization and connection between e-commerce channels. It can even connect with Sendo - which is a bit annoying in today's emerging e-commerce platforms, as well as being able to connect to a large number of shops at the same time while maintaining stability.
6️⃣ Conclude :
Based on the above advantages and disadvantages, Timoads hopes you can choose the most optimal and effective way to manage your multiple e-commerce exchanges. If you have any suggestions or need assistance, do not hesitate to contact us immediately.
