Agora Announces Steep Customer Growth in Q2

Leave a comment

Demand for Agora’s APIs mirrors societal shift towards real-time engagement

SANTA CLARA, California, Aug. 26, 2020 — Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a real-time engagement API provider, today announced steep growth across its customer base in Q2 driven by increased demand for real-time engagement (RTE) technology. Agora, with dual headquarters in Santa Clara, California and Shanghai, China, grew its customer base by 85.5 percent year-over-year as of June 2020, and it serves customers in more than 100 countries around the world through more than 10,000 active applications.

New Agora customers built features like audio and video live streaming into applications even as COVID-19-related social distancing requirements eased. Real-time engagement technology rapidly reached widespread adoption as companies shifted critical business functions to the virtual world. Sources like Gartner report 74% of CFOs plan to shift some employees to remote work permanently post-pandemic, making virtual experiences an integral common part of modern daily life.

"At Agora, it’s our goal to make real-time engagement ubiquitous so people can connect from anywhere, at any time in ways that capture meaningful human interactions," said Reggie Yativ, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Revenue Officer at Agora Lab, Inc. "We continue to see interest in RTE and real growth on a global scale from customers across sectors like education and gaming. This reflects a larger cultural shift towards richer virtual interactions in our personal and professional lives, both to create better online experiences, but also to innovate in the new business landscape."

In Q2, Agora inked new partnerships with industry leaders in IT, social gaming, online dating, and more. Partners turned to Agora to create unique use cases like:

  • Online Learning:
    • Applejax makes it easy for parents to find quality teachers for tutoring and pod-based learning. Quality education needs good teachers, that is why 100% of Applejax’s teachers are credentialed. Applejax partnered with Agora to develop virtual whiteboards and real-time engagement via video between teachers and students. Both features play an integral role in collaborative learning ensuring your child is learning at the highest level.
    • PandaTree, a remote language tutoring service, tapped Agora’s SDKs to improve business continuity and ensure streaming quality for its virtual tutoring sessions. With Agora’s SDK in place, PandaTree scaled to meet a 300% increase in user demand when shelter-in-place measures were first enacted. Agora’s network, which delivers extremely low latency, also enabled tutors to host innovative lessons with shared real-time visuals and engagement.
  • Streamed Fitness Experiences:
    • MixPose used Agora’s API to build live streaming into its platform for yoga instructors leading real-time classes, allowing instructors and viewers to capture the experience of a guided session. Agora’s video SDK pairs with MixPose’s AI functions to evaluate the yoga poses of participants, helping to offer guidance and track progress.
  • Socializing While Distanced:
    • VirtualTaproom pioneered the application of video chat to connect craft beer enthusiasts for networking and virtual brewery experiences. With Agora, VirtualTaproom took the craft beer tasting experience online with live-streaming virtual "taprooms," digital "tipping" and other interactive features. In connection with this year’s Craft Beer Professionals Virtual Conference, VirtualTaproom welcomed 5,000 attendees to a virtual afterparty and trade show.
    • Sesh used Agora’s RTE technology to build a unique video app for free-flowing group hangouts and personal safety. Sesh allows users to spontaneously start, join or watch video hangouts on their private groups in an organic and flexible manner. Additionally, the "Safety Sesh" feature allows users to easily broadcast their live video and location to their preselected safety contacts in times of perceived danger or insecurity.
  • Remote Collaboration:
    • VirBELA, an immersive platform that offers virtual campuses for offices and educational institutions, is redefining the future of business, events and education with Agora’s RTE capabilities. Using 3D technology, VirBELA creates dynamic virtual campuses that allow groups of people to engage in real-time through avatars.
  • Immersive Virtual Events:
    • InEvent used Agora’s SDKs to add real-time engagement features to its platform, which provides a no-code way to create immersive virtual event experiences complete with live-streamed speaking sessions. InEvent’s engaging, easy-to-use platform provides a virtual solution for summits and conferences derailed by social distancing restrictions.

Agora partners receive 10,000 free minutes of use each month hosted on Agora’s proprietary Software-Defined Real-Time Network (SD-RTN™), which delivers extremely low latency and high availability. This flexible pricing model allows Agora to scale with its customers, making Agora easy to seamlessly build into digital strategies.

Banggood Records Outstanding Results From 2020 Summer Prime Sale

Leave a comment

GUANGZHOU, China, Aug. 3, 2020 — Banggood, a leading cross-border e-commerce retailer, has wrapped up its highly successful ‘Restart a Good Life’ Summer Prime Sale, the platform’s first large-scale promotion event of the year.

The sale kicked off on July 3 and ran through to July 26, with the best discounts and deals culminating between July 21 and 24. During this 72-hour period, Banggood recorded more than USD 10 million in sales in the first hour alone, and sales volume surpassed the same day last year in just 12 hours.

"We are thrilled with the phenomenal growth achieved during this year’s Summer Prime Sale. It truly highlights the advantages and benefits of online shopping in the wake of the pandemic, and reinforces the platform as the best choice for consumers to shop at home," said Aaron Chen, CEO of Banggood.

The year-on-year sales increase was driven by significant consumer demand from users in the European and Asia-Pacific regions. Australia recorded the highest surge in sales growth during the Summer Prime Sale with an increase of 120% year-on-year, followed by Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Household Appliances, Computers, and Phones & Telecommunication were the most popular products and saw 514% growth year-on-year, as a result of the growing number of people working from home.

Banggood also witnessed a significant uptick in orders for home fitness equipment and personal transportation products, particularly from users in France, Spain and Italy. With the gradual relaxation of border restrictions in the region and heightened caution of public transportation, a large number of consumers have opted for bicycles or electric bikes as their preferred mode of transport.

In addition to coupons and discounts, Banggood leveraged the growing trend of live streaming and social e-commerce with Banggood LIVESTREAM, a 72-hour time-limited live-streaming session featuring 14 influencers from around the world, with viewers from Brazil, Canada and England ranking first for the number of livestream views.

Global supply chain capability is the strength for Suning in its success during the 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival in China

Leave a comment

NANJING, China, June 19, 2020 — The first 618 shopping festival in the post-COVID era has already surpassed the meaning of “Mid-Year Shopping Festival”. Suning.com, as the leading O2O smart retail service provider in China owned by Suning Holdings Group, aimed to stimulate China’s consumption engine and help consumers to enjoy real benefits.

On May 25th, at the Suning.com 618 cloud conference, Gu Wei, vice president of Suning.com announced Suning will launch the “J-10%” money-saving plan, multi-categories top-selling products plan and “1V1” customer service plan.

Suning’s “J-10%” money-saving plan, targeting household appliances, mobile phones, computers, supermarkets and other categories participating in the subsidy activities will be at least 10% lower than other major e-commerce platforms’ hand price. During the 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival, major platforms are providing tens of billions of subsidies, and the benefits are complicated for consumers to figure out.

At the same time, Suning also launched the multi-categories top-selling products plan, depending on the supply chain price advantage and platform supplements to reduce price to the end. “This year’s 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival is not only a price war, but also a service war,” said Gu Wei. He also explained that the “1V1” customer service plan will allocate service strength to the maximum value and match exclusive services for each consumer.

In addition to the providing competitive pricing, variety performance events are the second area of focus in the Festival. Suning.com Super Show invited many superstars and celebrities to create a livestream. The show and stars’ livestream had a strong effect on sales. After 5 and a half hours, the turnover exceeded RMB 5 billion and the number of viewers on the platforms exceeded 120 million.

According to the data released by Suning during the 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival, Suning’s omni-channel sales scales increased by 129% and retail cloud sales increased by 431%. Among them, Apple, Midea, Gree, Haier, Huawei, Xiaomi and other brands’ sales performance broke RMB 100 million in just an hour.

Global supply chain capability is the foundation of sales competitiveness. Zhang Jindong, Chairman of Suning Holdings Group said, “The capabilities of Suning’s global value chain must be implemented at providing affordable prices and high-quality services to users, and by providing the ultimate service experience.” At the 618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival, Zhang Jindong put forward the concept of “value war” on the basis of price war, which actually put forward higher requirements on Suning. Relying on the advantages of the global value chain, Suning can maintain competitive prices as well as top-level service, raising a new standard for industry competition.
