Improving performance for ecommerce brands
Digo Alanda
Ecommerce Market Research Lead
We work with local and multinational ecommerce players to help them optimize their sites and grow their businesses through powerful ecommerce market research.
We know that ecommerce businesses have troves of customer data. But this can only get you so far. That’s why our focus is on delivering new news. Through qualitative research, we can understand the motivations behind the behaviors on your site, as well as the unmet needs, to help you to optimize the customer experience. And by going beyond your own data, we can explore perceptions of competitors or new feature ideas, to extend your knowledge and help you stay ahead of the pack.
We’ve worked on a range of projects in the ecommerce space, helping clients with everything from tapping into new product areas to understanding how to increase online purchases on a B2B ecommerce platform.

Mobile wallets—once a convenience—are now overtaking physical currency as the region’s default mode of […]

Panasonic – Singapore
Corporate Communications / Public RelationsWe knew from the start that the inaugural GoBear Financial Health Index was going to need the right research partner to realize our vision. This team needed a curious mind, sharp analysis, as well as the willingness to roll up their sleeves and get hands on with us. Kadence International has proven to be that partner and the study’s success has exceeded my expectations. I am excited to see future iterations of the study with them by our side.
