DONGGUAN, China, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — September 2025 marks vivo’s 30th anniversary. Together with Fortune Magazine, vivo co-produced a short documentary, “Answer the Call”, revealing how a user-oriented philosophy, market-by-market strategy and early bets on imaging and AI transformed it from landline OEM to global smartphone mainstay.

Three decades can witness the rise and fall of tech brands. vivo has already outlasted two technological cycles—and is now China’s only phone brand to have thrived through the landline, feature phone and smartphone eras. Fortune asks what kept it alive. “We must focus on creating products that users truly need,” said Hu Baishan, vivo’s Executive Vice-President & Chief Operating Officer.

In 2012, vivo X1, 6.55 mm thick and the first phone with a Hi-Fi chip, answered young consumers who wanted slim design and studio-grade music on the move. In 2020, the ZEISS partnership answered the shift to mobile photography, adding professional optics and colour science to the camera stack. User-oriented thinking also drives accessibility for all: AI features on current models help users with impairments to better hear and see.

Global growth follows the same rule. “First More Local, then More Global,” Hu told Fortune, during his visit in Bangkok, Thailand. The “Four-Season Portrait” mode that adds snowfall to tropical street scenes is beloved in Thailand.

While Thailand is serving as the pilot for vivo’s premium brand building, Indonesia also stands out as a model for local production and local talent empowerment. Indonesia’s plant, built in 2015, operates on 80% local staff. Local engineers trained in China and now help scale complex tasks like the mass production of foldable phones locally.

By 2027, more than two-thirds of vivo phones will be sold outside China. The target is backed by a premium push. This October, the X300 and X300 Pro will be launched both in China and the global markets, bringing OriginOS to international users for the first time. Ahead of them, the limited-edition V60—co-styled with POP MART’s Zsiga and armed with a 50 MP Super-Telephoto—has already lit up Gen-Z collectors across emerging markets.

At the anniversary event, vivo also introduced its first MR headset, vivo Vision Discovery Edition. “Our MR is a good intermediate carrier between smartphones and robots,” Hu said. “Coupled with large-model capabilities, it effectively becomes the eyes and brain of future robots.” The device will enter overseas concept stores for user feedback and further upgrades before commercial launch.

As vivo steps into its fourth decade, the company is poised to continue its trajectory. “First, we must clearly understand the future trends of industry development – what the right things to do are, then comes doing things right,” Hu noted. Guided by the user-oriented philosophy, vivo continues to listen to the world, and answer the call of the future.

TORONTO, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Shoplazza, a global SaaS platform for direct-to-consumer (DTC) commerce, has successfully concluded its 2025 DTC Summit, marking another milestone in its mission to deliver speed, intelligence, and growth for merchants worldwide. The summit gathered nearly 800 merchants on-site, attracted more than 2,500 registrations, and drew over 35,000 livestream viewers, reaffirming Shoplazza’s influence in the global eCommerce industry.

At the summit, Shoplazza unveiled its latest achievements across performance, AI capabilities, checkout, and reliability, highlighting its continued strides in innovation. Full store launch time has been reduced from three days to just 30 minutes, while Google Lighthouse scores now average over 95. Stores with more than one million SKUs maintain sub-1.2 second P99 load times, meaning that 99% of users experience page loads in less than 1.2 seconds, ensuring smooth browsing even during peak demand. Homepage rendering has improved to 1.9 seconds at the P95 level, and product listing pages now load in 2.0 seconds, outperforming the industry average of 2.87 seconds. These improvements reflect Shoplazza’s commitment to empowering merchant growth through faster, more seamless user experiences.

AI-driven capabilities also took center stage. Shoplazza’s proprietary translation engine processes 100 product descriptions in 0.8 seconds with 26 percent greater accuracy across 109 languages. Enhanced search and recommendation systems have lifted conversion rates by up to 30 percent and increased ARPU to more than $2. With the built-in Loyalty & Push system, merchants reported a 77.5 percent increase in member registrations and more than 10 percent growth in overall conversion rates, demonstrating how AI can scale enterprise-level precision to businesses of all sizes.

Checkout has been redefined to deliver both speed and reliability. Payment pages now load in under 0.8 seconds, price calculations complete in 0.6 seconds at P95, and payment responses finish in 1.5 seconds at P95. One-click checkout covers 70 percent of payment options and accounts for 42.8 percent of orders, while authorization success rates rose to 67.47 percent.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cuber AI Technologies, a pioneering provider of Agentic AI-driven logistics solutions, is setting new global standards in operational efficiency and intelligent automation. Powered by its cutting-edge AgenticX platform built on Agentic AI, Cuber AI enables logistics organizations to elevate human productivity – allowing professionals to focus on strategic decisions while advanced digital employees handle high-volume, repetitive workflows with speed and precision.

At the heart of Cuber AI’s innovation is its transformation of logistics operations from basic digital tools into intelligent digital employees – autonomous partners that understand context, adapt to change, and execute with human-like judgment. As Managing Director Chee Keong Ng explains, “Level 2 AI operates like a workplace newbie, it follows instructions task by task. In contrast, our Level 4 Autonomous Systems behave like seasoned professionals, capable of multitasking, contextual reasoning, and adapting seamlessly to real-world challenges.”

This leap in capability has already delivered measurable results. A recent deployment of AgenticX Digital Employees at a leading logistics enterprise achieved a 100% increase in operational efficiency, a 60% reduction in customer service workload, and significantly improved profitability. These outcomes demonstrate the transformative power of human-Agentic AI collaboration in modern supply chains.

The innovation has not gone unnoticed. Cuber AI was recently awarded the Supply Chain Innovation Award at the Supply Chain Excellence Awards 2025, recognizing its groundbreaking AgenticX suite. The platform introduces two major technological milestones:

• AI Level 4 Autonomy – enabling integrated multitasking across complex logistics systems; and
• CuberLLM V2, a next-generation multimodal large language model that ensures unparalleled precision and speed in intent recognition and task execution.

“This award affirms our vision to redefine logistics through AgenticX Digital Employees,” said Mr. Ng. “It celebrates the dedication of our team and the confidence placed in us by more than 1,000 enterprises across the Asia-Pacific region.”

Cuber AI’s influence continues to expand across the region. At the recent China-ASEAN Expo 2025 in Nanning, the company showcased AgenticX Digital Employees to logistics leaders exploring digital transformation. The platform demonstrated how Agentic AI empowers mid-sized logistics firms to scale rapidly, augmenting human teams with digital employees who work tirelessly, consistently, and intelligently.

Focusing primarily on Singapore and the wider ASEAN markets – regions known for progressive digital adoption – Cuber AI designs AgenticX solutions tailored to the pragmatic needs of fast-growing logistics companies. For firms employing 200-300 staff, Agentic AI is increasingly viewed not as a cost, but as a strategic investment in future capacity, resilience, and competitiveness.

Looking ahead, Cuber AI remains committed to driving the next evolution of intelligent logistics. By championing a future where humans and digital employees powered by AgenticX co-pilot operations, the company is not only optimizing productivity but also shaping the global standard for autonomous, adaptive, and resilient supply chains.
