Tangerang, 9 July 2018 – SIRCLO, a technology company providing e-commerce solutions, facilitated more than US$7 million (Rp100 billion) in transactions during the first half of 2018. The figure was generated by nearly 1,000 paid users of SIRCLO Store, one of the company’s two e-commerce solutions.

SIRCLO Store is a ready-to-use, template-based platform designed for small and medium-sized local brands looking to build their own online stores. Brands using SIRCLO Store include Luna Habit by Luna Maya and This Is April, which operates at least 40 physical stores across Indonesia. The platform also supports brands such as Ittaherl and Wearing Klamby, which use a webhunt sales model, where selected products are made available online for a limited period.

“Average daily transactions recorded across all paid SIRCLO Store users reached Rp550 million between January and June 2018. This was more than double the figure recorded during the same period in 2017,” said Brian Marshal, Founder and CEO of SIRCLO.

Brian also noted that SIRCLO Store had attracted up to 50,000 users through its free ‘Starter’ programme. “As Indonesia’s e-commerce industry continues to grow, and as we see the progress made by brands that have placed their trust in SIRCLO, we have come to realise the meaningful impact our work can have on their businesses,” he continued.

More recently, SIRCLO recently introduced SIRCLO Commerce, an end-to-end channel management solution designed for large brands, including those in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, looking to expand their presence online.

SIRCLO Commerce saw significant sales increases during major shopping periods such as Harbolnas (National Online Shopping Day), Eid al-Fitr, and Christmas, as well as during promotional campaigns held to mark marketplace anniversaries. For example, the combined turnover of SIRCLO Commerce users in the lead-up to Eid al-Fitr in June 2018 more than doubled compared with the average monthly turnover recorded earlier that year.

“Through SIRCLO Store and SIRCLO Commerce, we will continue to provide reliable, high-quality services. Our aim is to grow alongside brands across Indonesia, supporting businesses at every stage, from small enterprises to large-scale companies,” Brian added.
