Ximple Expands to M’sia and Offers All-in-One Ecommerce Platform for Consumer Electronics
Wong explains the concept of Ximple.
KUALA LUMPUR: Ximple, a Singapore-based e-commerce platform specializing in fully circular shopping practices for home appliances and consumer electronics, has expanded its services to the Malaysian market.
This expansion aims to revolutionize the way consumers buy, own and dispose of electronics while accelerating the growth of local businesses.
Even as the country begins to open up again, Malaysians continue to shop primarily through online platforms, as many have become accustomed to the convenience offered by such services at the height of the pandemic.
Despite the continued popularity of online shopping, even for high-value items like electronics, according to Ximple, many digital marketplaces are rapidly leaving the customer journey immediately after point of purchase and neglecting after-sales services such as proper return and disposal systems.
Advocating the “Buy, Own and Dispose” cycle, Ximple integrates smart technology into its e-commerce system to promote a circular lifestyle through the re-commerce of tech goods.
A one-stop platform for more conscious and responsible electronics consumption, Ximple enables consumers to purchase their devices and appliances at wholesale prices from a variety of collaborative partners.
Consumers will then also have access to comprehensive after-sales services such as rental, refurbishment, buy-back and disposal options at the end of a product’s life cycle.

“Our strategic partners in Malaysia are the pillars of our expansion into this new market, thanks to their local expertise and services. We are beyond grateful for these collaborations as our partners also share a similar vision in encouraging circular shopping practices among Malaysian consumers, creating an eco-conscious community,” said Wong Wai Jeat, CEO and Founder of Simple.
Ximple comes with a social shopping tool that allows users to connect through wishlist sharing, as well as price comparison and community product review features to make more informed purchasing decisions and more informed without having to spend hours researching.
The platform also advocates paperless cloud storage of all receipts and invoices, eliminating the hassle of lost warranty cards and allowing users to easily track their warranty information. This can be redeemed in minutes by logging in through its website and mobile app.
Market expansion is enhanced by collaborations with strategic partners such as Fictron, APR, Home+, See Media and TBM. These partnerships aim to offer a greater variety of smart electronic products and exclusive offers while providing a holistic experience for consumers and businesses.
In addition to consumer catering, Ximple offers business-to-business solutions to support businesses locally. Solutions include developing marketing strategies that best fit unique business models and sharing consumer feedback to gather personalized behavior-driven insights that will ultimately improve business performance.
Through the platform, local merchants are equipped to work seamlessly with multiple business management tools, ranging from inventory and vendor management to point-of-sale systems.
