KUALA LUMPUR: Unifi Business announced new features in its suite of solutions for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to assist in upscaling and accelerate digital business transformation with a more unified ecosystem including consultation, connectivity, digital solutions and specialised services.
Aims to secure its position as the preferred digital partner for MSMEs as the sector recovers from the effects of the pandemic, the Unifi Business is a one-stop centre for all business needs.
"MSMEs form the backbone of our economy and they need to take timely advantage of the digital boom, which presents an ideal opportunity to navigate towards more sustainable growth. Digitalisation done right is the way to go: Unifi Business is primed to help them get back on their feet, come back stronger and achieve positive gains through its innovative digital solutions," said Unifi head of SME segment, Mohamad Yusman Ammeran in a statement released on the the new suite of offerings.
Designed to connect and maximise growth opportunities seamlessly, the unifi eCommerce Hub offers a single and integrated platform, with an easy-to-use interface where entrepreneurs can sync offline and online sales channels, manage product inventories, orders, monitor sales and revenue, as well as manage social media enquiries with live chat and built-in online payment features.
The Unifi Cloud Storage solution will help businesses manage the often tedious task of storing valuable information. This solution brings flexible, safe and scalable data storage. It also provides access for multiple users and secured encryption for better business productivity. Hosted locally at TM's Green Data Centre certified facilities, unifi Cloud Storage provides a secure home for important files and information so businesses can focus on growing and being profitable.
According to industry analysts, building a strong digital presence is critical in today's connected era, which many MSMEs failed to prepare for during the pandemic. To stay competitive, businesses need to make their products and services available online and participate in the local and regional eCommerce market to stay competitive.
To assist MSMEs in securing their business against cyber threats, the Cyber Security solution is easy-to-deploy and straightforward-to-manage. Supported by a world-leading cyber security provider, the solution protects important things that matter to businesses regardless of IT skill level, providing "Always On-Security for Always-On Businesses".
Yusman added that the company will be with the MSMEs, guiding them on their digitalisation journey. "Our certified consultant team is another testament to our commitment to serve MSMEs. They are certified with the International Certification for Digital Literacy (ICDL) and will offer continuous support and guidance," said Yusman.
All unifi Business customers get to enjoy member benefits of the Unifi Business Club (uBC), which include access to relevant and current content at its portal (https://ubc.unifi.com.my). Here, businesses can find insightful webinars, talk shows, live chats, events, business tips and articles to help them navigate the business world. The uBC members will also enjoy access to financial assistance, productivity boosters, digital marketing platforms, tools and community engagement programmes that are tailored to a variety of business needs.
"Our multiple business solutions for MSMEs demonstrate TM's support for the Government's initiatives, such as JENDELA and MyDIGITAL, and are aligned to the Group's role as the enabler of Digital Malaysia," he added.
In addition to the digital solutions, MSMEs can enjoy up to 50 per cent savings or get a RM5,000 matching grant, as part of the Pelan Jana Semula Ekonomi Negara (Penjana) initiative announced by the Government in 2021. This is an opportunity for MSMEs to increase their productivity while reducing their operating cost.
