The Vietnamese e-commerce market is growing at an astonishing rate, reaching 16.2 billion USD in 2023 and projected to grow 20% annually. In this fiercely competitive landscape, sellers not only need to sell products but also effectively manage the entire process from sourcing, product promotion, order processing, to customer service and tax compliance.

The reality is that most Vietnamese e-commerce sellers use 5 to 7 different tools to operate: Shopee Seller Center for orders, GHN Dashboard for shipping, Excel for inventory management, MISA for electronic invoices, Canva for graphic design, and many other tools. Switching between these tools is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors and loss of important information.

So, is there a solution that helps sellers manage all e-commerce activities in a single system, thereby saving costs, increasing efficiency, and focusing on business development?

Current Challenges Faced by Vietnamese E-commerce Sellers

To better understand the challenges sellers are facing, we need to look at the overall picture of the current e-commerce operational process.

The Complexity of Using Multiple Disconnected Tools

A typical workday for an e-commerce seller usually starts by opening 5 or more browser tabs simultaneously: Shopee Seller Center for orders, Lazada Seller Center for product updates, GHN Dashboard to check shipping status, an Excel file for inventory management, and MISA or EasyInvoice software for issuing electronic invoices. Constantly switching between these tools not only causes distraction but also severely reduces work productivity.

Wasting Time on Repetitive, Non-Value-Adding Tasks

According to surveys, e-commerce sellers spend an average of 3 hours per day just on data duplication tasks: copying order information from Shopee to the shipping software, manually updating inventory when new orders come in, re-entering customer information to issue invoices. These are tasks that can be fully automated, but due to the lack of integrated tools, sellers still have to do them manually every day.

Constant Errors Due to Manual Data Entry

When data has to be entered manually multiple times into different systems, the risk of errors is inevitable. Delivering to the wrong customer address, updating incorrect inventory quantities, forgetting to issue electronic invoices for completed orders are common mistakes. Each small error like this can lead to customer complaints, loss of seller ratings on the platform, and even penalties for violating tax laws.

Overselling and Loss of Credibility Issues

Because inventory is not automatically synchronized across platforms, sellers often fall into an overselling situation: a product is sold out on Shopee but still shows as available on Lazada and TikTok Shop because it hasn't been updated in time. The result is canceled orders, refunds to customers, deductions in seller scores, and loss of customer trust.

Pressure to Comply with Electronic Invoices from 2026

Decree 123/2020/ND-CP stipulates that all business households with revenue above 100 million VND per year must use electronic invoices from 2026. For most e-commerce sellers, issuing electronic invoices in compliance with regulations remains a major challenge due to a lack of legal knowledge and appropriate tools.

Lack of Data for Business Decisions

When sales data is scattered across multiple platforms and tools, sellers cannot get an overall view of their business situation. They don't know exactly which platform is generating the highest profit, which products should be promoted more, or which times of the year have the highest revenue. The lack of this information makes every business decision based on intuition and high risk.
