Oracle ERP Cloud streamlines RedMart’s business processes, reduces IT costs, and improves business agility.
“Large, mid-sized, and start-up companies are turning to Oracle for cloud-based solutions to better manage their resources to improve the efficiency of their operations. We are happy that Redmart has chosen Oracle ERP Cloud. It clearly outlines Redmart’s vision to modernize their finance and procurement processes to propel the company to the next level of growth,” said Neeraj Shaabi, Regional Managing Director for ASEAN and Sage, Oracle.
RedMart, one of Singapore’s largest online supermarkets, has chosen Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Cloud to fuel the company’s growth.
“We are glad to have achieved the success we have today, but we are still growing and constantly exploring how to further improve our internal operations. Being a startup, business priorities tend to change quickly to respond to the competitive needs of the market. Our systems need to be flexible to match up with our priorities. Technology is at the heart of our business, and we need to constantly strengthen it in order to grow, and we’re glad that Oracle is along that journey with us,” said Jim Boland, Head of Finance, RedMart.
Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning Cloud will serve as a key business platform for RedMart’s growth.
RedMart is a successful start-up in Singapore that serves as an e-commerce platform which allows customers to buy groceries and household products, including fresh and frozen food, personal care, health and wellness, baby, and beverage, and pet products online.
Since its launch in 2011, RedMart has grown 10-20% month-over-month and more than doubled each year.
Previously, the legacy ERP system could not scale to the high transaction volume in line with the company’s growth, did not have the capability to produce useful reports, and was not flexible enough for the company’s fast changing business priorities.
RedMart needed to improve system performance and flexibility to enable further expansion of the business.

“Following the relaunch, our new brand identity, renewed business focus and increased investments will bolster Quann’s capabilities to address the region’s growing need for cyber security services. This positions us well to achieve our ambition of four-fold growth by 2020 and become Asia-Pacific’s leading cyber security player,” said Foo Siang-tse, Managing Director, Quann.

Customers who sign up for or renew their StarHub 4G plans, can enjoy the new 3GB data upsize at promotional monthly rate of only $3. Usual monthly rate of $6 will apply for customers who sign up from 1 April.
* Singtel fired the first shot in the data-upsize price war, followed by M1.
StarHub joins the data price war between the telcos. Click to enlarge.
The table above is a summary of the various StarHub’s plan and how they can be enhanced by the 3GB-for-$3 promotion.
StarHub is giving IT Show 2016 a miss
Unlike M1, MyRepublic and Singtel, StarHub is not participating in IT Show 2016.
It is instead having a parallel online promotion from 10 – 18 March at www.starhub.com/big-sale.
Consumers can look for deals such as S$200 phone discounts with free delivery and free six-month subscription to multi-service HomeHub Go and selected broadband plans.
Customers who prefer physical stores, can visit any of StarHub’s 48 retail outlets across the island.
With the new offer, subscribers of StarHub’s “4G 3” plan can enjoy 6GB data bundle at a slightly increased monthly subscription rate of S$45.90.
Previously, a “4G 6” subscription plan would have set consumers back S$102.90 every month, although the plan does offer more local talktime and SMS.
StarHub will reach out to customers who signed up for one of these StarHub 4G plans on 10 March and offer them this data upsize option.
From tomorrow, customers can sign up for this offer at any of the 48 StarHub retail outlets across the island.
The promotional flyers for StarHub’s online sale are attached below.
StarHub Online Store exclusive: Sign up for any StarHub service online and stand a chance to win one of ten 55” Samsung Curved Televisions worth $3,199 each.
