The potential of that is big.

The first six months was dedicated to developing noah, a cloud-based system that handles the order data to expedite the shipping process. Then, the started building a team to help develop xpanse.

The company also faced failures. Two times the company broke before launching. Supan pushed on and talked to brands to go online. Asking them to take chance on xpanse and that paved the way for their success.

Nowadays, there are a lot of website development and shipping companies. However, xpanse provide both concepts at the same time. Supan saw the big potential of having website development, order process, and shipping under one roof and it paid off.

Next for xpanse is an Asian "xpansion". Supan is set on being a major e-commerce enabler in Asia.
