We are already almost breaking even at this point with an average growth rate of 76% year-on-year and any investment will be used for business expansion.”
Taking on the positive sides of the current Covid-19 pandemic that has practically changed the way e-commerce is opening up with new opportunities within the Manufacturer to Consumer (M2C) Commerce, Everpeaks is looking forward to riding that wave. Everpeaks has strong partnerships with global leaders in the eCommerce industry with them being the only SouthEast Asian Amazon Service Partner Network Member, the only Malaysian eBay Channel Partner and the Malaysian Community Partner for Payoneer.
