Project Background
By the end of 2025, Taiwan is home to nearly 1 million Southeast Asian migrant workers who rely heavily on specialized grocery and telecom stores. Historically, these stores depended on manual bookkeeping and cash transactions, lacking digital tools and online sales channels. AsiaLife aimed to integrate online shopping needs with physical store resources through an O2O (Online to Offline) platform. TWJOIN was commissioned to build this system, serving 1 million workers and providing shop owners with intuitive digital management tools to increase overall market coverage.
Project Challengesand In-Depth Assessment
Addressing high-frequency interaction needs for 'slashies' and event scenes, we identified these challenges:
01
Language & Interface Barriers
Given the diverse languages of migrant workers, the system must support Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, and English within a single architecture, featuring an extremely intuitive UI.
02
Offline Payment Integration
Migrant workers primarily use cash. Connecting offline 'cash collection' with online orders and real-time inventory deduction was the core technical focus.
03
Digital Transformation Growing Pains
Digital literacy varies across thousands of stores. Manual bookkeeping is inefficient and fragmented. The system must lower the entry barrier to drive digital adoption among traditional shop owners.
Project Resultsand Client Feedback
Focusing on 'Relationship Management' and 'Event Modules,' we planned a complete system workflow:
Frontend POS App (Android Java)
Developed a dedicated POS application for Sunmi hardware, ensuring high stability for real-time printing, barcode scanning, and cash management.
Backend Cloud Platform (PHP)
Unified handling of online orders, store data, and reconciliation reports. Provided stable APIs for two-way communication with the AsiaLife ecosystem.
Extensible Architecture
The system remains flexible for future expansions, such as integrating e-payments or logistics management systems, providing a long-term technical foundation.
