近几年因疫情导致很多零售商开始寻找数位转型,期望提升销售救业绩。
很多企业主也思考:数位转型要花很多钱吗?会不会影响到我的员工?
本文将已收集各零售的疑问,以零售业的角度,破解数位转型5大迷思:
Table of Contents
迷思一:数位转型是让线上取代实体店吗?
让线上为实体所用
很多零售商或许都会以为数位化浪潮之下,要全力发展线上业绩,缩减传统实体零售和服务。其实,最理想的转型策略是【让线上为实体所用】,让电商与门市共荣成长。
对于零售转型成功的关键,在于懂得善用【虚实融合 (Online Merge Offline, OMO) 】,打破线上线下的分界,让门市客人转为线上会员,将线上客户引导到门市体验消费。让你的客户可以在缝隙的渠道购买,成为你的常客。
让门市的客户转为线上会员的目的是【创造回购,回访】,提升顾客终身价值 (Customer Lifetime Value),别让顾客买了一次就不回来了。
除此之外,零售商可以透过会员数据了解他们的喜好,以便可提供个人化的销售服务,达到最精准的行销效益。
有加入会员,下载APP的门市,日后不仅更会线上回购,也会回访实体门市消费,消费频率和金额越高,顾客终身价值也大幅提升。
提升线上业绩,导客流到门市体验
电商不断地增长不会取代实体门店,而导入OMO虚实融合转型,才会让线上线下达到业绩双赢地局面
让新客户转化为会员熟客后,会员就能在线上,实体门市不断的与品牌呼唤,没有时间空间的距离。每一次的互动,不但提升业绩,还会提高客户对品牌的忠诚度和满意度
迷思二:员工会不会造成数位转型的阻碍?
如果数位转型只把营运流程,商业模式数位化,数据化而已,忽略了员工的利益,将会对品牌转型一定的挑战。
要【符合人性】才会成功:对外要提升顾客终身价值,对内则要【帮助员工,团队发挥价值】,让员工的付出得到认可。
当公司正在数位转型时,企业的发展方向也会改变,员工的职能也会随之改变。除了要培训员工应用数位工具(Digital Tools)之外,也许针对员工配合转型的诱因与阻碍,建立制度。
实体员工往往会担心公司发展电商生意会影响门市业绩,导致他们不配合推广线下客户下载品牌APP。所以,一个公平的制度可以让员工的付出得到相对的好处。
91APP的【门市企业方案】的OMO套件功能,设计了3种推荐人功能
- 门市推荐人:客人下载 APP、加入会员时,绑定服务他的店员。日后顾客在线上消费,商店可以将业绩功劳归属该店员
- 订单推荐人:店员帮客人将商品加入购物车,客人一点就下单。这笔订单可以归属与门市或店员。
- 推广线上活动:店员发送专属购物连结,客人下单后,业绩归属店员
只要门市店员可以得到公平对待,获得线上业绩分润,他们会更愿意推广加入线上会员计划给门市客户,员工和公司都可以同时受益。
91APP后台的【OMO管理报表】能让老板们看到那些门市,那些店员有在积极拉会员,提升全通路的业绩,绩效数据等通通一目了然。
迷思三:数位转型是不是很贵?值得吗?
当我们去探讨数位转型【值不值得】之前,我们先检视公司与品牌得现状,过往以来的营收获利模式是否适用,以及如何把握下一个成长得机会。
以实体零售为例,当实体店得人潮往线上消费时,不少店面陷入亏损甚至倒闭的困境。商家就会开始寻找方式来逆转实体店衰退呢?
唯一的方案就是导入OMO虚实融合模式,让电商为实体所用,让电商高频率消费的特征,弥补实体店的低频率消费的现状,把线上找到的新客户带到门市消费。
只要有越来越多客人透过实体店,品牌官网,APP,社群,数位广告等和品牌多渠道互动,大幅提升的消费频率,顾客忠诚度,就是品牌成长的重要资产。
数位转型是为了让品牌成长,增加顾客对品牌的忠诚度与顾客终身,所以贵不贵,值不值得就要看品牌商是以长远发展的角度去看,还是只看眼前的成长。
迷思四:数位转型重点在于引入科技吗?
相信很多商家会认为,只要拥有自己的官网或是在marketplace开店就等于数位转型。其实,对于零售业而言,品牌的核心竞争力不在于科技,是忠诚顾客。
因此,数位转型的目的主要提升顾客体验,用数位科技去提升顾客满意度,进而提升顾客的终身价值。
因此,除了传统的营收,毛利,成本等指标之外,会员人数成长,消费频率(回头客),消费金额(购买品项数),以及延长顾客消费年数等,都可以利用数据指标长期观察,评估数位转型的成效。
当顾客在线上,线下都能持续与品牌互动是,将能有效提升顾客终身价值。现在的行销预算与门槛越来越高,品牌需要与消费者,会员长期互动沟通,才能让生意长久。
所以品牌可以这样做:
- 留下会员 : 利用【会员优惠卷】鼓励门市顾客下载APP
- 门市导流: 透过门市优惠卷,门市取货,APP推播新品上架等,吸引顾客到门市试用,购买
- 线上购买: 举办线上优惠活动(例如:双十一,Black Friday, Year End Sales等),吸引会员透过官网或APP下单
- 吸引回购:客人在门市或线上官网/APP消费,都能同步累计会员升等,吸引顾客提高客单价和购买频率
总而言之,数位转型重点不在于引入科技就可以了,而是要善用科技了解顾客,服务顾客,让顾客对品牌有归属感。
迷思五:老品牌是不是比较难数位转型?
传统零售企业全渠道推进转型的挑战来自于技术,组织架构,岗位设置,人员队伍培养,管理等。而其中最大的挑战并不是设备的连通,而是软性的组织学习和运营管理能力。
老零售主要在管理层开始培养新零售的概念,让他们了解转型可以对整体的业绩上升,也让门市店员有更深层地了解顾客,提供个性化的服务。
数位转型除了是在整个企业技术上,组织架构上的转变,更重要的是管理层在思想上要跟着一起转型因为他们是整个企业的核心带领整个团队的改变。
企业也要提供培训,让团队了解转型是对他们更有收益,而91APP的推荐人可以让他们等到相对的利润(如果他们积极推广品牌APP)。
总而言之,数位转型无论对老零售或者是新的零售商都是有一定的挑战,而新零售的转型不只是要在技术,构架上的转变,最重要的是团队对于转型思想上的转变才是真正数位转型。

![Teamwork Made Simple: How SMEs in Malaysia Stay Organised with Google Workspace Teamwork Made Simple: How SMEs Use Google Workspace to Stay Organised [Image] Discover how Malaysian SMEs use Google Workspace to stay organised and work like corporates. Learn teamwork hacks for proposals, spreadsheets, and project tracking. Boost productivity, save time, and simplify collaboration with Exabytes Google Workspace solutions. Targeted Keywords: Google Workspace Malaysia, Google Workspace for SMEs, teamwork with Google Workspace, Google Workspace collaboration tools, SMEs productivity tools Malaysia, project tracking with Google Workspace, Exabytes Google Workspace solutions Teamwork Made Simple: How SMEs Use Google Workspace to Stay Organised Running a small or medium enterprise (SME) in Malaysia often means juggling multiple roles at once — handling sales proposals, updating financial spreadsheets, managing HR files, and following up on client emails. Without the right tools, these daily tasks quickly become scattered across WhatsApp chats, email attachments, and endless file versions. This is where Google Workspace comes in. Designed as an all-in-one productivity suite, it helps SMEs streamline teamwork so even small teams can operate with the efficiency of large corporations. 👉 In this article, we’ll explore: - Why staying organised is critical for SMEs. - Real-life scenarios where Workspace improves teamwork. - How proposals, spreadsheets, and projects get done faster. - Extra features beyond Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. - A Malaysian SME case study. - The importance of security and trust. - Why Exabytes is the right partner for local businesses. --- Why Organisation Matters for SMEs Organisation is not just about being neat — it directly affects profit and growth. According to a study, unclear communication and disorganisation cost teams 20–30% of their productivity. For SMEs in Malaysia, where teams are often small and resources limited, this impact is even greater. Consider this: - A delayed proposal can mean losing a valuable client. - A duplicated spreadsheet entry may create cash flow miscalculations. - Misplaced documents can slow down regulatory compliance. By adopting structured tools like Google Workspace, SMEs can: - Share and edit files in real-time without confusion. - Keep communication centralised, reducing reliance on messy WhatsApp groups. - Track tasks and projects systematically. - Build a professional image when engaging clients and partners. --- Scenario 1: Sharing Proposals Without the Chaos Imagine a sales executive at a Kuala Lumpur-based SME preparing a proposal for a major client. Traditionally, the process involves: 1. Drafting the proposal in Microsoft Word. 2. Emailing the attachment back and forth for edits. 3. Managers reviewing different versions simultaneously. 4. Confusion about which “final_v2.docx” is the actual final version. With Google Docs in Workspace, this chaos disappears: - Multiple teammates can edit and comment in real-time. - The manager can approve changes instantly without version clashes. - A single live link is shared with the client, avoiding outdated attachments. For SMEs, faster proposals mean a higher chance of closing deals ahead of competitors. --- Scenario 2: Collaborating on Spreadsheets Made Easy Finance and operations teams often depend heavily on spreadsheets. But with manual file sharing, version mismatches and calculation errors are common. With Google Sheets, SMEs benefit from: - Live updates: everyone works on the same file simultaneously. - Data integrity: built-in change history reduces the risk of accidental deletion. - Advanced features: pivot tables, charts, and even integration with external data sources. - Access control: sensitive data is view-only for some, editable for others. 📍 Example: A Penang-based SME tracks supplier payments and client invoices in Google Sheets. When a team member updates a supplier’s payment status, the finance manager sees it in real-time. No delays, no duplicate records. 💡 Supporting Research: A PwC report found that while digital tools can boost productivity, clarity in digital processes is essential for improving employee morale and reducing workplace stress. --- Scenario 3: Tracking Projects Like a Corporate Giant One of the biggest struggles for SMEs is managing multiple ongoing projects without expensive software. Google Workspace makes this simple by combining Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Meet. - Project files are stored in shared Drives, eliminating scattered folders on personal laptops. - Deadlines are synced to Google Calendar, with automated reminders. - Weekly check-ins are held on Google Meet, where teams can update progress directly from linked Docs and Sheets. 📍 Example: A Johor-based creative agency uses Workspace to manage multiple client campaigns. Each campaign has its own shared Drive folder, with timelines tracked on Calendar. The team no longer spends hours asking “who has the latest file?” — everything is in one central place. 💡 Research Insight: A report by International Data Corporation (IDC) sponsored by Google found that organisations using Google Workspace gained significant productivity benefits, including an average reduction in project delivery time compared to traditional methods. --- Beyond the Basics: Features SMEs Often Overlook Many SMEs in Malaysia still think Workspace is only about Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. But it offers much more: - Smart Canvas: assign tasks, insert checklists, and tag teammates directly inside Docs or Sheets. - Google Chat Spaces: structured, searchable team chatrooms — a more professional alternative to WhatsApp groups. - App Integrations: connect Workspace with Asana, HubSpot, or Trello to create a central hub for all work. - Forms & Surveys: quickly gather staff feedback or client inputs without relying on third-party tools. These features transform Workspace into more than just a productivity suite — it becomes a complete SME management platform. --- Case Study: Malaysian SME Scaling Faster with Workspace A Johor Bahru-based e-commerce SME adopted Google Workspace after struggling with scattered tools (email on one platform, Dropbox for storage, Trello for tasks). Within six months: - Proposal turnaround dropped from 3 days to 1 day. - Finance reporting errors decreased by 40%. - Meetings became shorter and more effective as updates were visible in Docs and Sheets before calls. - Team onboarding improved as new hires could access all resources in one shared Drive. This shift helped the SME appear more structured to partners and investors — a critical factor in securing funding. --- Security and Trust — Even for Small Teams SMEs are often targets of cyberattacks due to weaker security setups. A 2024 report by Lockbaud indicates that small companies experience a 350% increase in social engineering attacks compared to larger organisations. With Workspace, SMEs benefit from enterprise-grade security without the costs: - TLS encryption for email. - Two-step verification for accounts. - Admin controls for file sharing and device access. - Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to prevent accidental leaks. This means even a small 5-person team can have the same protection as a multinational corporation. --- Why Malaysian SMEs Choose Exabytes for Workspace While Workspace itself is powerful, implementing it correctly can be tricky. That’s where Exabytes steps in: - Migration support: move old emails and files without disruptions. - Local support: 24/7 assistance from Malaysia-based teams. - Affordable pricing: plans customised for SMEs. - Training & onboarding: ensuring staff adopt the tools effectively. For Malaysian SMEs, this local support makes all the difference in achieving smooth digital transformation. --- Conclusion For SMEs, staying organised isn’t just about efficiency — it’s about survival and growth. With Google Workspace, small teams can: - Share proposals seamlessly without version confusion. - Collaborate on spreadsheets with real-time accuracy. - Track projects like corporate giants. - Leverage security and integrations usually reserved for big enterprises. The result? Faster decision-making, a more professional image, and stronger client trust. In Malaysia’s competitive market, these advantages give SMEs the agility they need to thrive. 👉 Ready to simplify teamwork for your SME? Explore Exabytes Google Workspace solutions today. --- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Here are answers to common questions Malaysian business owners ask about Google Workspace: 1. Why should SMEs in Malaysia use Google Workspace instead of free tools? Free tools like Gmail, Dropbox, or WhatsApp may work initially, but they lack consistency, professionalism, and control. With Workspace, SMEs get a unified system for communication, file storage, and collaboration. This means fewer errors, faster decision-making, and a stronger brand image. For SMEs competing in Malaysia’s crowded market, these small advantages add up. --- 2. How does Google Workspace improve teamwork compared to traditional email attachments? Traditional workflows often involve endless email chains and multiple file versions. With Workspace, all team members edit the same document or spreadsheet in real-time. The “version history” function ensures no data is lost. This means fewer misunderstandings, less back-and-forth, and faster project completion. --- 3. Is Google Workspace too advanced or costly for small businesses? Not at all. Plans start at just a few ringgit per user per month, making it affordable even for micro-SMEs. More importantly, the time and errors saved often outweigh the subscription cost. Plus, Workspace scales easily as the business grows. --- 4. How secure is Google Workspace for SMEs? Very secure. Workspace uses enterprise-grade security, including TLS encryption, two-factor authentication, and AI-driven spam/phishing filters. According to Google Cloud, Workspace blocks 99.9% of spam and phishing attempts before they reach inboxes. This gives SMEs protection usually only accessible to large corporations. --- 5. Can Workspace integrate with the tools I already use? Yes. Google Workspace integrates seamlessly with CRM software like HubSpot, project management tools like Asana, and accounting platforms like Xero. SMEs can keep using their preferred apps while enjoying centralised communication and file management. --- 6. How does Workspace help SMEs present a professional image? Emails from yourname@yourcompany.com look far more credible than free Gmail or Yahoo addresses. Consumers are more likely to trust and buy from businesses with branded email addresses. For Malaysian SMEs, this can be the difference between closing or losing a deal. --- 7. Does Workspace help remote or hybrid teams in Malaysia? Yes. Workspace is cloud-based, so employees can log in from anywhere. Whether staff are in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, or working overseas, they can collaborate seamlessly on Docs, Sheets, and Meet. This is crucial as hybrid work is now the new normal in Asia. --- 8. How does Workspace reduce reliance on WhatsApp groups? Many SMEs in Malaysia still run projects through WhatsApp, leading to lost messages and scattered files. With Google Chat and Spaces, discussions are structured, searchable, and tied directly to files in Drive. This prevents important updates from being buried in casual conversations. --- 9. What happens if my company grows quickly? Workspace scales effortlessly. Adding new staff is as simple as creating new accounts under your domain. Each team member instantly gets access to shared drives, branded email, and collaboration tools. This keeps the organisation consistent as the team expands. --- 10. Can Workspace really save time for SMEs? Yes. Features like Gmail’s Smart Compose and Docs’ AI suggestions help employees write faster and avoid repetitive tasks. Google mentioned that AI across its productivity suite saves its 3 billion users' time. (Google Blog). For SMEs, time saved translates directly into cost savings and faster client responses. --- 11. How does Workspace help with project management? Workspace combines Docs, Sheets, Drive, Calendar, and Meet into a single ecosystem. SMEs can store all project files in shared folders, assign tasks via Docs or Sheets, and schedule deadlines in Calendar. This makes project tracking far simpler compared to juggling multiple third-party apps. --- 12. Is Google Workspace mobile-friendly? Yes. According to DataReportal Malaysia 2024, 96% of Malaysians use the internet via smartphones. Workspace has official apps for Android and iOS, so employees can check emails, join meetings, or update files while on the go. --- 13. Can Workspace improve customer service for SMEs? Absolutely. SMEs can set up specific email addresses such as support@company.com or sales@company.com. This ensures customer queries are directed to the right team, speeding up response times and improving satisfaction. Customers perceive the business as more organised and professional. --- 14. Is it difficult to migrate from Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook to Workspace? Not with the right support. Google offers migration tools, and Exabytes provides local assistance to transfer emails, contacts, and files safely. This ensures zero downtime, so businesses can continue operating smoothly while upgrading to Workspace. --- 15. How does Exabytes support SMEs using Google Workspace? As an official Google Workspace Partner in Malaysia, Exabytes offers: - Domain setup and email migration. - Training sessions for your staff. - 24/7 local support in English and Bahasa Malaysia. - Affordable SME-friendly pricing plans. This means SMEs don’t just get the software — they get guidance to fully maximise its potential.](https://i0.wp.com/www.exabytes.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/5273896e-9703-42cd-8d04-7e9ab092839a.png?resize=218%2C150&ssl=1)
