Description The product of service of Seventeen Network Services Sdn. Bhd. is named as LOKEIN which is an online Community Marketplace Platform (Share Economy Model) for used-item industry or also known as bundle community. Why? Firstly, because Malaysia’s online used-item industry is BOOMING but SUFFERING with a lot of problems and issues in their daily trading activity happening basically on social media platform which made them in desperate need of a secured place for trading. Secondly, is due to the fact that Malaysia has the most online shopper in the South East Asia region.
Business Opportunity Problem:

Bundle Community is having a very tough time in running their daily trading activity as there is total lack of systematic and secure online marketplace platform that perfectly meets their needs. Current most utilized platform is a social network medium such as Facebook and Instagram which are very unsystematic, hard to manage inventory, high risk of fraud and zero protection of buyers and sellers. On top of that, they are highly saturated and unorganized as they are not mainly designed for business purpose. The current ways of selling carried out by this community are very hard to manage without automated system being applied to the selling process. Current alternatives available have other problems: lots of scammers and joy buyer and very unsystematic business activity.

LOKEIN will provide an easily manageable automation system of few selling methods. The platform comes with a very special ambiance mainly designed for bundle community.

Company history:

The original company was a sole-proprietor business registered under the name of Seven Symphony Enterprise (IP0334492M) which was initiated by principal owner, Wan Mohd Hafiz bin Wan Idris. Our company has been running an ecommerce business since 2010 on international marketplace platforms such eBay and Etsy and has become as a small service provider 2 years later to help local used clothing retailers to sell their products in our stores to penetrate international market. Until date, we have numbers of retailers, 2 big companies in the industry and 2 permanent partners which consistently consign their hundreds of premium items to us. Average revenue per month is RM45,000.00 as we are bound to the platforms’ policy and high take rate fees. The owner and the partners are also active users in local bundle groups in Facebook where they found out that there are too many business problems occurring within the community and due to that, a lot of retailers are waiting for us to open more slots for consignment. With these potential and confirmed clients, we plan to develop our own online marketplace platforms to create opportunity for them to explore international market themselves. Collaborating with the partners, SSE is later reformed into a private limited company under the name of Seventeen Network Services Sdn. Bhd. and the investment made to date is RM30,000.00.
