About StyleHub Fashion

StyleHub Fashion is a fast-growing e-commerce brand based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, specializing in affordable contemporary fashion for young professionals. The brand sells through 4 channels: Shopee Malaysia, Lazada, TikTok Shop, and their own D2C website.

Processing 15,000+ orders per month across multiple platforms with different commission structures, payout schedules, and return policies — financial reconciliation was a daily battle for their small team of 25 employees.

The Challenge

1

Each marketplace (Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop) had different commission rates, shipping deductions, and payout cycles. Reconciliation took 3 full days per platform per month.

2

Returns and refunds were tracked in separate spreadsheets per channel. The actual profit per order was unknown.

3

Inventory was managed in 3 different seller dashboards. Overselling happened weekly — damaging customer ratings.

4

SST (Sales and Service Tax) compliance was manual. With different tax treatments per channel and product category, filing was error-prone.

5

Cash flow was unpredictable. Marketplace payouts arrived at different times, and the team couldn't forecast weekly cash position.

The Laabam.One Solution

StyleHub connected all 4 sales channels to Laabam.One in just 10 days. The system auto-imports orders, calculates true profitability, and handles tax compliance.

Multi-Channel Sales Hub

Orders from Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, and D2C website auto-sync into one dashboard. Per-channel revenue, commission, and net profit visible in real-time.

Marketplace Reconciliation

Automatic matching of marketplace payouts against orders. Commission deductions, shipping credits, and penalty charges reconciled daily — not monthly.

True Profit Calculator

Per-order profitability after marketplace commissions, shipping, returns, ads spend, and packaging costs. Product-level margin analysis across all channels.

Unified Inventory

Single inventory pool synced across all 4 channels. Low-stock alerts, auto-reorder, and channel-specific buffer stock to prevent overselling.

SST Compliance

Automated Sales and Service Tax calculations per channel. SST-02 return preparation with proper classification of taxable and exempt sales.

Results After 6 Months

Revenue grew 200% year-over-year as the team could confidently scale ad spend knowing true per-product margins across every channel.

Marketplace reconciliation reduced from 12 days/month (3 per platform) to 2 hours total with automated payout matching.

Zero overselling incidents since launching unified inventory — previously happening 3–5 times per week.

Discovered that 15% of products were unprofitable after true cost analysis. Discontinuing these improved overall margin by 8%.

SST filing reduced from 2 days to 30 minutes. Automated classification eliminated manual errors.

“We thought we were profitable on every product. Laabam.One showed us that 15% of our SKUs were actually losing money after marketplace commissions and returns. That one insight changed our entire product strategy and doubled our margins.”
