Both Suppliers and Marketplaces face many challenges when it comes to operating in an eCommerce space, but we believe that our system eliminates such. Issues are as follows:

Supplier Challenges
▪ Wholesalers do not sell through B2C eCommerce.
▪ ROI from online sales is not positive yet
▪ High Setup costs in order to sell each country.
▪ 85% of the business is offline in the MENA region.
▪ 80% of our consumer products are imported from other regions.

Marketplace Challenges
▪ High cost to acquire suppliers and products.
▪ Time lag for content creation.
▪ Only have access to local suppliers.
▪ No provision for account management to suppliers.

Our product aims to be a system by which a supplier can list their products on our platform, and simultaneously have it live and available for purchase on every marketplace in the world, with logistics, pricing, and everything in between taken care of for them.

Since the concept of cross border eCommerce is new worldwide, we only
have a few competitors. However, eWhale has partnered up with these ‘competitors’ to extend their eCommerce gamut. Generally they come in the form of 'Aggregators', however we partner with these aggregators to increase our catalog listing - we benefit from more organized data/ onboarding multiple suppliers at once, and the aggregators and the suppliers they represent benefit from the sales generated as a result of working with eWhale.

Nothing - they are a prehistoric version of one aspect of eWhale.

R&D - currently money is 'stuck' in the business cycle, we require investment to develop the sophistication of our product, including but not limited to:
- Build a new Technology Team
- Explore new markets
- Increasing volume (EoS)
