Malaysia’s largest dropship platform, Kumoten, has made its way into the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR).
The platform has the most extensive collection in the local market earning the coveted title of Malaysia’s Largest Dropship Platform by MBOR.
Kumoten’s catalogue enables users to sell by selecting and syncing as many as 53,000 products to their Lazada or Shopee shops without buying or keeping stock of these items.
The beginning of Kumoten
“We started Kumoten under OGN Online Sdn Bhd in 2014 with a mission to help online sellers earn income from e-commerce as easily, quickly, and at the lowest risk possible.
We have come a long way and now officially have 53,598 items in our system,” said Isaac Leong, Chief Executive Officer, Kumoten.
Isaac and his brother Yew Meng co-founded the company, which has empowered and enabled many who suffered the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kumoten, with the trust and confidence of Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd and Commerce Dotasia Ventures Sdn Bhd, created earning opportunities for many Malaysians.
Those who benefited from the cause were the hearing and voice impaired, single parents, retirees and those who lost their livelihoods.
“We are proud to say that we helped some earn at least an additional income to support their families and to cope with the rising cost of living,” Isaac says.
Strategic Partnership
Yew Meng chips in that Kumoten has partnered with the Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) under the e-commerce initiative, which proved very successful.
Kumoten enabled more than 3,000 micro small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs) and individuals to earn an income from dropshipping in Lazada and Shopee through this initiative.
“We have also partnered with PERKESO under the PEMERKASA initiative run by the Prime Minister’s Office.
“Under this programme, we onboarded nearly 1,200 Malaysians who had lost their jobs during the pandemic,” said Yew Meng.
Online businesses with the lowest risk
Kumoten presents the lowest risk to entrepreneurs and individuals to start a business from as low as RM69.
Dropshippers do not have to buy or keep stock for sales, and one can start selling their goods immediately.
Anyone can use the platform to generate an extra income, including the physically disabled, homemakers, retirees and even young working adults.
“We will continuously invest in research and development to look into new products that can help online sellers earn more at a faster and more manageable rate.
“We also are looking to invest in recruiting more dropshippers,” Isaac said, adding that the firm is constantly looking for new solutions to help SMEs tap into Kumoten’s vast network of dropshippers.
Isaac and Yew Meng look forward to foraying into Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore markets this year with a promise to improve, innovate and help customers find the best solutions,
“Achieving the Malaysia Book of Records recognition is a huge recognition for the Kumoten team, and we remain steadfast in our mission to help online sellers. We are confident in achieving our targets, seeing how far we have come,” Isaac adds.
