AEON Co (M) Bhd, one of the largest mall operators in Malaysia with a 10% market share, is diving head first into digital transformation in a bid to cater for changing consumer needs, which have been dramatically accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Last week, the company announced a partnership with US-based online bulk retailer Boxed Wholesale to utilise the latter’s technology and know-how in its efforts to make a significant headway in the digital space and streamline its existing platforms.
Both parties have kept mum on the value of the partnership, but it is understood to be in the range of “eight figures” in US dollars. The deal was struck within a year, implying the sense of urgency that Aeon Co had in establishing its digital platform quickly to cater for customer needs and stay in the game.
