Despite being a challenging year for not only businesses but also all economies worldwide, ECVV, the first end-to-end procurement service platform for Chinese industrial goods, has put down roots in the UAE in 2020 and based its operations in Dubai, taking advantage of its strategic location in the Middle East and the Arab Gulf as well as its support for various innovative businesses.

Since its inception in the UAE, ECVV provided cloud solutions and advanced technologies in e-commerce and stepped in to find solutions to the many challenges disrupting all supply chains of the global industrial production sector due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

From construction to lighting, transportation, and electrical appliances, the platform offers a wide range of products covering all industrial categories; in addition, it also offers quick delivery services to consumers, thanks to adopting an innovative business model.

That being so, it has remarkably strengthened its presence in the UAE’s large electronic market in cooperation with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry representative office in Shanghai, China, owning to its smooth trade operations via the Internet, which helped it achieve qualitative leaps in the trade of industrial spare parts.

The self-operated online platform has built an impressive customer base with more than 14,000 buyers from UAE, 36,000 buyers from GCC with a total of 32,000 MRO Skus (Maintenance, Repairs, and Operations Stock keeping units).

MRO product sourcing

With 15 years of experience on cross-border MRO product sourcing, ECVV.ae is already a reputable sourcing platform with more than 2.2 million buyers and 950,000 suppliers all around the world.

“While MRO suppliers are struggling to maintain their SKUs with the growing disruptions in the global supply chain, ECVV had to learn to adapt and face this challenging economic environment and embraced an innovative business model to provide fast and more efficient delivery services to our customers in the Arabian Gulf and the Middle East, while also focusing on offering after-sales services,” said Mr Hu Bing, General Manager, ECVV UAE.

Top investment destination

“Chinese companies have come to view Dubai as the first and foremost investment destination in the Middle East, thanks to its unique facilities and privileges provided to foreign investors. We have selected Dubai in particular for the services we got from the representative office of the Dubai Chamber in China, in addition to the emirate’s encouraging e-commerce strategy, which delivers an ideal environment for setting up innovative projects. We also want to take advantage of the promising e-commerce opportunities made available by Dubai, which has become a prestigious international hub for businesses and an incubator for innovation and projects creative,” Bing said.

He emphasized that ECVV.ae is committed to providing customer-centric services and advanced technical innovations, adding: “We strive to attract customers’ attention and gain their trust by bringing in the latest technology that supports all stages of our services. We look forward to our platform becoming the ideal partner for all manufacturers in the region and we call on them to join it and benefit from the outstanding services that we offer by the highly skilled e-commerce experts and consultants,” Bing added.
