Introducing Hachi.tech – A members-only tech and lifestyle shopping website by Challenger Technologies

10 May 2016, Singapore – Challenger Technologies, the largest home-grown tech retailer in Singapore, invites you on a journey of discovery on Hachi.tech, its latest one-stop lifestyle and tech online marketplace for members only.

Accelerated rewards system allows members to earn up to 30X Hachi points

Online shopping has never been more rewarding. For $8 a year, Hachi members enjoy a bevy of incredible deals – up to 50% off selected products – and an accelerated rewards system.

Hachi points are awarded for all products on Hachi.tech, starting from 1X points up to 30X points, allowing members to earn points faster for redemption. For instance, with a $200 product that awards 10X points, members earn 2000 Hachi points, which can be used to offset $20 on their next purchase. Every 100 Hachi points offset $1 at the next purchase.

Existing ValueClub members can activate their one-time free Hachi account for the remaining duration of their ValueClub membership. To enjoy a longer Hachi membership term, existing ValueClub members are encouraged to renew their ValueClub membership first before activating the one-time free Hachi account.

An experience built with the shoppers’ needs in mind

Built to replace Challenger’s previous online shopping experience, Hachi.tech opens its virtual door to revolutionize online shopping with a host of improved consumer-centric and information-rich features. 

Boosted with in-depth product description, images with zoom selection and videos for over 20,000 digital gadgets and accessories across different categories and brands, Hachi.tech is designed to guide shoppers in making informed purchases.

Also available on Hachi.tech is a complete selection of tech-lifestyle accessories and peripherals from Valore, Challenger’s in-house lifestyle brand.

With the mobile-ready platform that is optimized for browsing across smart phones, tablets and any smart devices, enjoy the best browsing experience anywhere, anytime. 

“Hachi.tech is part of Challenger’s plan to grow its retail presence in the virtual space, and we have made substantial investment in businesses to support our e-commerce strategy. To meet the ever shifting online shopping habits and expectations, Hachi.tech is developed to be a robust and nimble shopping platform supported by strong back-end capabilities to provide our customers with an unparalleled online shopping experience”, said Ms Loo Pei Fen, Chief Marketing Officer of Challenger Technologies.

Integrating consumers’ experience across physical and digital space

To provide shoppers with greater flexibility and convenience in how they receive their products, Hachi.tech offers both the choice of delivery and in-store pick-up from seven convenient outlets island-wide. Delivery will be complimentary for shoppers who spend above $88.

Boosting an integrated system that tracks inventory across its warehouse and physical stores in real-time, Hachi.tech has its order fulfilment system down to a science, to ensure shoppers receive their products as scheduled. If you need your orders urgently, select “Self-Collection” in-store.

“We recognize that there is a segment of online customers who want to collect their orders at a time and location of their convenience. Or they may need the help of our retail staff with set-up and troubleshooting. We are starting with seven stores to choose from for in-store pick-up, with more locations to be added in time to come. We are confident that our strong network of offline stores has the capability to complement the online business, allowing our customers to embrace the convenience of multichannel shopping,” Ms Loo said.
