Is SingPost waiting in vain for e-commerce gains?

It has recently lost $65.2m in the e-commerce business.

Singapore Post's recent net loss of $65.2m proves it still has a long way to go in delivering its e-commerce promise. The loss is due to the impairment of its intangible assets for TradeGlobal.

According to OCBC Investment Research, SingPost faced setbacks in e-commerce segment with TradeGlobal losing key customers.

"In the fast-moving world of e-commerce, it is currently unclear to us if this segment can turn in a net profit by FY19," the brokerage firm said.

To recall, SingPost's e-commerce segment incurred an operating loss of $33.8m in the quarter.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
