After graduating from the Hanoi Science and Technology University in 2005, majoring in information technology, Tran Trong Tuyen worked for a technology company. By chance, he became familiar with the website alibaba.com where he learned about the great business benefits of online transactions. Tuyen began developing a technological foundation for e-commerce to help Vietnamese businesses sell their products on the internet. Tuyen recalls: “In 2006, small and medium-sized enterprises in Vietnam faced numerous difficulties in exploiting the internet. Learning from Alibaba, I researched and developed trading websites for the Vietnamese market. Though they are not 100% like Alibaba, they will help Vietnamese enterprises use e-commerce to make their business more profitable”.
Realizing the advantages of the internet in helping Vietnamese SMEs market their products online and reach larger numbers of customers, in 2008 Tran Trong Tuyen and his colleagues founded the DKT Technology Joint Stock Company which specializes in promoting e-commerce through the website Bizweb.vn. The website provides individuals and enterprises with website templates to help them easily and quickly create their own websites. So far, Tuyen’s company has helped 15,000 enterprises develop online trading websites. Bizweb has more than 3,500 users and covers more than 30 business areas. Bizweb.vn is a comprehensive online trading platform with most users in Vietnam. Le Anh Huy is Sales Manager of the Sen Do Technology Joint Stock Company, a DKT customer: “What Mr. Tuyen does is to help businesses sell their products quickly. Businesses can sell their products everywhere, on all online trading platforms, and websites. I think this will help popularize e-commerce in Vietnam”.
With the rapid growth of the DKT Company, Tran Trong Tuyen is recognized by IT circles as a young, smart CEO who has contributed greatly to promoting e-commerce in Vietnam. He and his colleagues try to constantly improve their online marketing solutions. The company recently launched a website called hangtot.com, a transaction floor with more than 3,000 stores. This busy website attracts a huge volume of individuals and businesses. Mr. Tuyen says: “Hangtot.com is the next driving force of DKT following Bizweb. With this website, we wanted to give users a different experience in doing online trading. They can easily find products and conduct transactions easily, securely and conveniently. Our ultimate goal is to help sellers sell their products and help customers get the products they want”.
Tuyen says he plans to expand Bizweb to other markets similar to Vietnam like Indonesia and the Philippines. Tuyen says when the world is flat, opportunities and challenges are equal. So it’s important to seize all possible opportunities and find a way to advance, not to complain.
