Koyoyu Studio and the journey from start-up to a global fashion brand

EFEX and Koyoyu STUDIO Achieve Outstanding Results

Koyoyu Studio has successfully expanded its international market presence thanks to EFEX’s cross-border shipping services. The company has significantly reduced shipping costs and delivery times while enhancing customer satisfaction. With EFEX’s central warehousing, Koyoyu Studio can efficiently receive goods from Vietnamese brands and swiftly deliver them to international customers.

• 100% automation of receiving and processing orders
• Reduction of up to 35% in international shipping costs
• Savings of up to 1.5 hours per day in order packaging
• 40% reduction in warehouse management and rental costs, and operational expenses
• Lower inventory holding costs, reducing capital and storage expenses

Introducing Koyoyu Studio

Driven by a passion for fashion and a desire to connect fashion enthusiasts worldwide with unique Vietnamese designs, Koyoyu Studio aims to be a crucial bridge between Vietnamese designers and the international market. “Koyoyu Studio firmly believes that Vietnamese fashion has its unique appeal and deserves to be showcased more broadly on the global stage,” said Calvin Go, Founder.

Challenges Faced by Koyoyu Studio

Despite its strides in conquering the global market, Koyoyu Studio has encountered several challenges. “As a startup, we lack the resources to invest in warehousing and personnel in Vietnam. Shipping goods from brands to Singapore is both costly and time-consuming. We are particularly concerned about the risks involved in cross-border shipping,” shared Calvin Go, Founder.

Moreover, managing warehousing, personnel, and timely packaging presents a significant challenge, especially since we do not have warehouses in either Vietnam or Singapore. This situation incurs considerable costs in operations, management, and staffing.

EFEX's Solution

In response to these challenges, Koyoyu Studio turned to EFEX for a fulfillment solution. The two parties engaged in discussions to address the current issues Koyoyu Studio faced and to devise a strategy that would cut costs while ensuring smooth and effective operations.

“They did not apply a one-size-fits-all fulfillment solution. Instead, they tailored their approach based on the specific needs and requirements of Koyoyu Studio,” Calvin Go remarked.

No Need for Local Staffing or Warehousing in Vietnam

In response to Koyoyu Studio’s plans, EFEX proposed a flexible and tailored solution. Instead of investing heavily in inventory storage, which incurs significant costs, EFEX offered to provide free receipt of goods from brands based on individual order requirements.

EFEX then consolidates and repacks the shipments according to the specifications of each customer order, including color, multiple SKUs, and product sizes. This process ensures that the packages meet international shipping standards and fulfill customer requirements.

To see the solution in action, EFEX invited Calvin Go to visit their warehouse in Ho Chi Minh City during his business trip to Vietnam. EFEX demonstrated the entire process from receiving goods to packaging and preparing shipments for international delivery on the same day.
