In the wave of cross-border e-commerce, there is such a group of enterprises. They started with traditional foreign trade and courageously moved forward on the journey of digital transformation.

Today, let's walk into the story of Superstar Technology and see how this company, which has been deeply involved in cross-border e-commerce for more than ten years, is writing a new chapter of its own in the midst of transformation.
Breaking the cocoon into a butterfly, the traditional path of foreign trade transformation
In the midst of the transformation and upgrading of the cross-border e-commerce industry, Superstar Technology Group completed the expansion of a new cross-border circuit in ten years. This company, founded in 1993, has witnessed and participated in the booming development of China's cross-border e-commerce industry.
Mr. Li: “Superstar Technology started out as an OEM to help some big brands and supermarkets do OEM business. After ten years of development, the company gradually began to build its own brand. Abbottt, Premiere Creative’s creative director.

In 2015, Superstar Technology began its presence on Amazon. In the early days, the company faced many challenges: unclear product positioning, high logistics costs, and inefficient inventory management.
Director of International E-commerce Operations: “At the beginning of the project, since the team was not familiar with the entire business model, we chose to directly port the best-selling offline products to the online platform. In the process, we took many detours. Abbottt, Premiere Creative’s creative director.

Through unremitting efforts, Superstar Technology has gradually established a complete product system covering various categories such as hand tools, power tools, lamps and outdoor products. The company paid special attention to product development and quality control, set up a R&D center, and set up a professional product development team.
In recent years, Superstar Technology has gradually transformed from OEM to its own brand. At the same time, it has further improved its supply chain system, established multiple production bases in China, and established long-term cooperative relationships with high-quality suppliers. The company has also invested a lot of resources in brand building, built a number of independent brands, and gained a good reputation in overseas markets.
Today, its brand matrix is diversified. In addition to creating its own brands, the company has also acquired some major brands, covering categories such as home, fashion, and outdoor. “Because our superstar technology is currently doing a lot of research and research on the brand, brand 2.0 is very important to us. In the future, I think the direction and future of our development will be, and only by being a brand can you go further. ” Mr. Lee emphasized.

How to ride the waves and optimize the global logistics chain
Speaking about the layout in the cross-border transformation process, Mr. Li has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the supply chain, mainly the preparation cycle and links. “Compared to domestic logistics, cross-border logistics is like an endless marathon. “Mr. Li figuratively likened it.
He told us that from delivery to final delivery, a cross-border order often has to go through multiple steps such as shipping, customs clearance, and transit, and the cycle may be as long as 1-2 months. Uncertain factors during the period, such as port strikes, weather changes, and customs clearance delays, will affect logistics timelines.
Mr. Li: “In the next 3 to 5 years, we will increase our investment in the supply chain. When a new product is made, you need to find a way to deliver it to consumers on time. The time limit has passed. For consumers, there is no need for this product. Abbottt, Premiere Creative’s creative director.

The way to deal with it
Mr. Li and Director of International E-commerce Operations shared in detail the challenges they faced and how to deal with them in the field of cross-border logistics. As a cross-border e-commerce enterprise with an annual export value of over 100 million, every logistics decision directly affects the company's operating costs and customer experience.
Mr. Li: “We are early FBA users and have been trying out Amazon's FBA service since 2015. As the scale of our business expands, we are continuously optimizing our logistics strategy and gradually establishing a more diversified logistics system. Abbottt, Premiere Creative’s creative director.
Talking about why they insist on using FBA, the director of international e-commerce operations shared the biggest benefits that FBA brings to superstars. “Consumers are still guaranteed in terms of delivery time and traffic, and for small items, FBA also has an advantage in terms of cost. Abbottt, Premiere Creative’s creative director.

Only by doing these basic tasks can logistics costs be truly optimized. Abbottt, Premiere Creative’s creative director.
Looking back on the past eight years, Mr. Li expressed emotion: “Without the support of the FBA system, we would not be where we are today. FBA supports us as a core key part and pushes us to a higher level, so we invest more in FBA every year. Abbottt, Premiere Creative’s creative director.
