The end-to-end commerce solution enables brands to quickly launch an online store
Québec City, Canada – January 26, 2021 – OSF Digital announced today that it has joined forces with Salesforce.com and TSI Holdings Co. Ltd. to introduce its Quick Start Direct to Consumer commerce solution in the APAC market.
OSF Digital first launched its Quick Start Direct to Consumer Solution last year in the North American, Latin American, and EMEA markets as a response to the challenges retailers faced when the pandemic caused lockdowns and physical store closures.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers now do more of their shopping online. As a result, many retail brands face an urgent need to restructure their businesses and start selling online quickly. They are looking to launch their own ecommerce sites capable of withstanding the rapid increase of sales. However, building a reliable, scalable ecommerce solution within a short time frame is usually a costly venture. This makes it difficult for retail brands to take prompt action and meet consumer demands.
In response to this challenge in the APAC market, OSF Digital, Salesforce and TSI joined forces to offer Quick Start Direct to Consumer to brands who want to start selling their products online to APAC-based shoppers. Powered by Salesforce Commerce Cloud, this innovative, end-to-end commerce solution is designed to help retail brands quickly launch a flexible and reliable direct-to-consumer ecommerce website, capable of expanding along with the brand’s growing business needs.
Incorporating the best practices and technologies from the three aforementioned companies, Quick Start allows retail brands to shorten the timeframe for the launch of their ecommerce sites to only 3 months. As part of this solution offering, retail brands will receive management support during the launch from TSI, a company with an impressive track record in operating Commerce Cloud.
Starting today, OSF Digital, Salesforce and TSI Holdings will deliver pilot Quick Start D2C projects as a joint venture with full-scale provisioning scheduled to begin in early 2021.
Each company will be responsible for certain aspects of delivering the solution:
Salesforce
- Provision the Commerce Cloud platform

- Provide the primary support for the ecommerce sites
