Mayer grew from a local business into a home appliance brand found in almost every Singaporean household.

As they expanded beyond Singapore, cross-border payments became a key operational challenge — especially around supplier payments, currency handling, and managing delays across markets.

Once this was streamlined, the impact was immediate:
• ~90% of supplier payments now settle within 1 business day
• fewer delays affecting inventory flow
• smoother transactions across MYR, USD, and SGD
• S$380.71 cashback generated in a month and reinvested into the business

Mayer has since grown from $20M to $45M in turnover.

A simple reminder that scaling isn’t just about sales — it’s about what happens behind the scenes.

At Trinity42, they’ve spent over 30 years empowering Malaysian businesses with AI-driven digital strategies, and helping SMEs grow locally and globally.

We recently sat down with Christopher Ng Kwong Eu 伍光耀, CEO of Trinity42, and Miko Loo, Partnership and Product Manager, and here's what stood out:

✔️ Go digital—but go beyond presence. Let data guide every decision.
✔️ Understand your market. Know your customers, competitors, and campaigns.
✔️ Prepare for global growth. Operations—not demand—can stall scaling.

Trinity42 shares the key strategies for SMEs to differentiate themselves and capture the market effectively. Watch the full video below 🎥

WorldFirst supports Trinity42 with fast, secure, and cost-effective cross-border payments, removing friction so they can focus on growth.

What does it take to scale something as delicate as a macaron? 🍬

Annabella Sonwelly started by making macarons for friends. Today, she runs Singapore’s largest macaron manufacturing business — multiple kitchens, a warehouse, and systems built for scale.

Her secret? Focusing early on systems, consistency, and operational discipline — turning a craft into a business that can grow.

From organic beginnings to collaborations with global names like Disney, she’s shown how strong fundamentals open doors far beyond the original vision.

And she’s just getting started.

Behind the scenes, WorldFirst helps her manage cross-border payments efficiently, optimise FX, and pay suppliers in China smoothly — keeping growth moving forward.
