Collectco – “Click and collect” model

Last week, I bought a product from Lazada. Upon receiving it, I realized that the product is not working. Thus, I decided to return it. After checking on Lazada’s return process and policy, I submitted my request to return and one of the option I pickup is “Collectco”. I have no clue about it. All I know is I can conveniently drop the product to the nearest selected collection points which is Caring Pharmacy inside Sunway Velocity, which is just 5 min walking distance from my office, Sunway Velocity Designer Office.

Providing many collection point is indeed this is a brilliant idea. This convenience helps to speed up return process and as a result improve the service in a e-Commerce business.

Vivy Yusof: Meet Malaysia’s Youngest E-Commerce Mogul

Article by Carla Thomas on 9th August 2017

Vivy Yusof, clad in a gorgeous silky cream-colored headscarf, doesn’t have time for stereotypes. She’s too busy running a retail empire in her home country of Malaysia, which landed her a spot on FORBES 30 Under 30 Asia list this year.

“I think there’s a misconception there, that Muslim women are oppressed,” says 29-year-old Yusof, who made the decision to wear the hijab a few years ago.

It’s an expensive misconception to have.

The booming modest wear industry is estimated to be worth $368 billion by 2021, making Muslimah-savvy entrepreneurs like Yusof a prescient and profitable force to be reckoned with in the Asian retail space.

Today, her e-commerce platform FashionValet is a major player in Malaysia, and Yusof’s own hijab brand, dUCk, is among the most popular scarves on the global market.

“I feel like women are supposed to go out there, whatever God gives you, your talents, use them for the good of the world. And still look presentable!” A sentiment women around the world can all get behind.
