E-COMMERCE
Nowadays, e-commerce is a new trend in many industries. ESD life, as a pioneer of e-commerce business, has accumulated a great deal of experience in the development and management of an e-commerce platform. Being equipped with great digital experiences, we provide professional services in digital sales. They include:
(1) E-store
E-stores have shaped a new way of doing business and become a new trend in the market. With the increasing amount of online business revenue, many companies have started to shift their business focus from brick-and-mortar stores to online stores. As an experienced e-store builder, we customize the best plan for your project and offer extensive solutions to your e-store.
(2) Apple Pay / Google Pay
The payment method is always the biggest concern for online shopping customers. A convenient and trust-worthy mobile payment method is critical for boosting sales of your e-store. Our team of programmers makes Apple Pay/ Google Pay available on your website and mobile app. With the use of Apple Pay/ Google Pay, customers can buy with a single touch on their smartphone.
(3) Recurrent payment
Similar to Apple Pay / Google pay, recurrent payment is another type of payment which makes things convenient for customers who purchase products regularly. Customers are charged automatically and regularly once they have subscribed to the billing plan and input the card information. You can set the billing interval, frequency, and deadline of the payment. It helps you to boost sales and predict the cash flow more easily.
(4) Live chat
In the Internet age, customers expect efficient services and rapid responses from e-stores. One of the services to retain customers is the live chat. Live chat allows your company to communicate with customers in real-time and provide immediate feedback. It helps to build up a reputation and maintain a good relationship with customers.
(5) Tokenization
Customers’ information security is top of mind for e-commerce businesses. To cope with this issue, your e-commerce site needs a token gateway to fight off threats from cyber-attacks. Payment tokenization is a data security strategy that replaces sensitive data with non-sensitive equivalents. Tokenization does not only reduce the risk for merchants, but it also minimizes the cost and enhances the consumer experience.
MARKETING
Many companies are moving the focus of their marketing strategies from offline to online. Digital marketing enables your company to reach new customers while connecting with existing customers. We provide the whole solution in delivering a supreme digital experience to our clients. We are experienced in handling marketing campaigns in different sizes. The marketing strategies include but not limited to the following:
(1) Lucky draw
Rewards and giveaway are the most prevalent marketing strategy to create awareness of your brand, to generate engagement among your target audience, and to gather leads that have a high chance of a conversion. We help to plan and develop custom-made lucky draw campaigns for your company to attain the maximum efficiency.
(2) E-coupon/ E-stamp
Existing customers are valuable for digital businesses. To retain existing customers, every successful electronic payment will be awarded for an e-coupon / e-stamp. We build an online system for our clients to arrange e-coupons / e-stamps to a specific group of customers. It encourages return customers and builds brand loyalty.
(3) Geo-fencing
Geo-fencing is a feature that works with the global positioning system (GPS) or radio frequency identification (RFID) to define geographical boundaries. You, as an administrator, can establish a virtual boundary around a specified location. Users will receive a notification when they enter or exit the boundaries. This technology is commonly used in the retail and hospitality industries to promote sales and discounts in their stores.
(4) One-click MGM referral scheme
Word-of-mouth marketing is a powerful tool to engage new customers. One promotion strategy to apply word-of-mouth publicity is the member-get-member (MGM) referral scheme. Moving the MGM scheme to digital platforms makes the referral process more efficient and convenient. The one-click MGM referral scheme will help your company to boost the number of new members.
(5) Dynamic discount
Dynamic discounting refers to the agreement between buyers and sellers in business-to-business (B2B) transactions on a discount available for early payment. We help our clients to develop a system for electronic invoicing and Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) automation to facilitate the procure-to-pay process and avoid repetitive, administrative tasks.
CRM
A customer relationship management (CRM) system helps companies stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability. There are five key elements of CRM:
(1) EKYC
EKYC stands for electronic-Know Your Customer. It is an authentication process to verify the identity and address of customers electronically. We are experienced in applying EKYC as it is commonly used in our previous projects such as the MSIG mobile app and X Wallet mobile app for Zero Finance. EKYC does not only simplify identity validation processing time and improve user experience but also satisfy industry regulations and lower your company’s operation cost.
(2) Rule-based engine
To mimic human intelligence, the rule-based engine is used to teach the system pre-defined rules, such as “if statements”. By making use of the human-made rules, the system can store, sort and manipulate data like a human. With the rule-based engine, users can instruct the system to execute an action.
(3) Loyalty scheme
The loyalty scheme is a marketing strategy to retain existing customers and build brand loyalty. It can incentivize the purchasing behaviours of your customers. What made the loyalty scheme so successful is the level of personalization. For example, some online systems recognize customers by their name, phone number, and payment information.
(4) Customers survey
The most straightforward way to understand customers’ thoughts and opinions is through customers’ survey. To customize a unique project plan for our clients, we conduct customer surveys to figure out users’ needs and expectations. After we have gathered the data, we revise the initial ideas and generate the most suitable solution for our clients.
(5) App rating
Ratings and reviews in the App Store and Google Play serve as an indicator of the app’s quality and a determining factor of the revenue generated from the mobile app. As a team of professional app developers, we help your mobile app to obtain positive feedback so as to keep your app’s ranking in a high position.
AI
The ESDlife Digital Solutions team try our utmost to apply the up-to-date technology in various projects to obtain the best result. Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining popularity in recent years. It can change or update on its own, learn from mistakes, and determines the action to take itself. Here are some examples of how we made use of AI:
(1) Chatbot
A chatbot is a computer program that conducts a conversation with users according to the specific set of words input. It helps your company to handle customers’ inquiries and finish simple tasks. A chatbot can handle a huge number of customers simultaneously, reducing the demand for manpower.
(2) OCR
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. It converses images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. We develop OCR technology with high accuracy for our clients. The technology is important not only for data entry of business documents but also for information extraction.
(3) Biometric detection
Biometric detection technologies are applied to various projects. For example, liveness detection and facial recognition are applied when we develop X Wallet mobile app for Zero Finance. They ensure the loan application is made by a real person and measure the similarity of two faces in different images.
(4) Facial recognition
The use of facial recognition technology has flourished and become a part of daily. It can be applied to different industries, such as online payments and security checks. It is used extensively in many mobile apps to make it faster for users to get through some difficult processes.
(5) Machine learning
Machine learning can be implemented in various applications too. In our previous projects, for example, we make use of machine learning to approve loan applications as fast as 15 seconds with no bias rejections. We truly believe that machine learning will be a trendy technology to be applied in digital solutions for different industries.
SERVICES
Besides website and mobile app development, we provide a range of services to enhance the website and mobile app performance. Some examples include:
(1) Automation test
An automation test simplifies the physical time and manual effort into a set of scripts that apply automated checks to a broad range of test cases, such as unit, regression, and API testing. Besides the reduction of time and effort, an automation test guarantees higher accuracy, better reporting capabilities, coverage, resource efficiency, bug detection, and reusability.

As a web hosting service provider, we offer the technologies and services needed for the website to be viewed on the Internet.
