a leading social mobile commerce solutions provider and multi-channel commerce
platform from Hong Kong, announced today that its workshop in Kuala Lumpur on 4
September drew more than 60 aspiring merchants, who were matched by a strong
line-up of speakers.

 

Eric Ng, Founder
of Boutir, delivered a welcome address at the workshop. In his speech, Eric Ng
noted that since Boutir started developing the Malaysia market in January 2019,
it has seen the immense growth potential in the region. Thanks to free trade and
the integration of mobile, social and eCommerce, he expected SEA countries to
continue the strong growth momentum through 2020, specifically in the social
eCommerce segment. With its proven subscription model developed through a
multi-year effort in Hong Kong, Boutir sets its target at 4x revenue growth for
2019 and further solidify its foothold.

 

“Asia is a
strong, resilient trading bloc in a globablised world, and connectivity is the
key to global growth. Boutir is committed to enhancing merchant connectivity
across the region,” Eric added that the availability of its service in the SEA
market and the enhanced connectivity will help the international efforts of
Hong Kong merchants.
