Collin oversees Lapasar's end-to-end supply chain — from sourcing and inventory to the owned fleet that keeps deliveries on SLA.
Background
Collin oversees Lapasar's end-to-end supply chain — from vendor sourcing and product catalogue management through to inventory positioning, replenishment cadence, and the owned-fleet operations that deliver goods to corporate buyers across Malaysia.
Supply chain in B2B procurement is materially different from consumer retail. Order volumes are larger and less predictable; product mix is more complex; and enterprise buyers have strict requirements on lead times, documentation, and order accuracy. Collin's team manages the tension between holding sufficient inventory to fulfil committed SLAs and keeping working capital efficient — a balance that requires close coordination with the commercial team on demand signals and with operations on warehouse capacity.
He has built Lapasar's vendor and supplier network to ensure category depth across the core procurement segments the platform serves: office management essentials, FMCG products, and specialised items for corporate and government buyers. The owned fleet that Collin helps oversee gives Lapasar a last-mile advantage that pure marketplace models cannot replicate — enabling same-day and next-day delivery commitments that are critical to winning and retaining enterprise accounts, particularly among government-linked companies where SLA compliance carries contractual weight.
