Retail

Fiona Lau, a former retail investment analyst at Goldman Sachs, and Tony Wong, a software engineer and entrepreneur, met at a startup event in Hong Kong in 2013. They discussed the problems SMEs face when digitalizing their business. The two decided to launch Shopline, a platform that provides software solutions for SMEs. The firm's software allows merchants to quickly set up an online platform with a centralized inventory and order management system, thanks to a selection of drag-and-drop design tools. Shopline also assists companies in their journey to start social e-commerce operations.
