As the preferred digital partner to 400,000 MSME nationwide, TM supports their market visibility, growth and digital capabilities through our service and solutions with 600 Unifi Business Consultants nationwide, of whom, more than 100 are certified with the International Certification of Digital Literacy (ICDL).”

One of Unifi Business’ customers who benefitted from digital transformation was Tineshwara Rao of Suria Pest Control, Penang, who said, “Our sales have doubled and expanded beyond the northern states through the services and solutions provided by Unifi Business, particularly its Digital Marketing Solution. We would like to thank Unifi Business for helping us grow into a more digitally enabled business.”

Another happy customer, Athirah Abdul Rajak, owner of Mama’s Best Food from Sabah echoes, “Sales of my product increased by 50% by using Unifi’s Business’ eCommerce Hub. I am now supplying one shipping container of our product on a monthly basis to Johor. Unifi Business made this possible for me.”

In addition to the grant, MSME customers will also be able to enjoy new lower prices offered via Unifi Business’ Fibre plans. This includes a limited time promo for 100Mbps broadband for RM99 per month, which is approximately 30% lower compared to the new price.
