Water and air purifier retailer scaling operations across Malaysia
SK intellix Malaysia imports and distributes water and air purifiers branded as a premium home appliance choice. The company is mid-stage operationally: actively implementing SAP ERP while managing inventory forecasting gaps and manpower constraints that surface across ops, logistics, and warehouse teams. Near-term hiring velocity is slowing despite open roles, suggesting they're consolidating resources around the ERP migration rather than expanding headcount.
