Intel Corporation INTC recently collaborated with Hepsiburada HEPS to launch an e-commerce platform for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Turkey. Dubbed DigitalSME, the program is likely to accelerate the digital transformation of local SMEs and drive the region's overall economic growth.Founded in Istanbul in 2000, Hepsiburada operates as a leading e-commerce technology firm in Turkey and is reportedly the fastest-growing e-commerce operator in Europe. The company’s name translates to English as “all here” or “everything is here” with more than 43 million products available on its platform. The products are offered through a ‘Super App’ that can offer everything from same-day groceries, clothing, beauty products, auto supplies and electronics to flights and payment services, via an embedded digital wallet called Hepsipay. Hepsiburada has also pre-built an installment payment service facility into its platform, along with a seamless free return policy involving a super-efficient logistics network.Hepsiburada now aims to tap the technological prowess of Intel to help SMEs develop their e-commerce platform and expand their digital business through DigitalSME support program. The participants in this program will be eligible for discounted hardware and software tools, along with requisite training for effective advertising methods, improvement in brand awareness, maximization of social media coverage and operational tips for enhancement of customer satisfaction. Intel will offer a 10% discount on its 11th generation products and additional discounts on printers, network and antivirus software. Moreover, SMEs will also get free training for HepsiAd – the advertising platform of Hepsiburada – and a grant of 1,000 Turkish lira.Intel is betting big on the IoT business and is investing heavily to gain a higher market presence. While the focus was earlier on making the best computing chips and generating industry-leading margins from them, the company now prefers to focus on a product range targeting different market segments. Management believes that the higher-end business in more developed economies continues to look up, but the new strategy should help it get into many more device categories, where Intel products will continue to enjoy a premium based on performance and cost of ownership.However, Intel is witnessing intensifying competition in the server, storage and networking markets. Moreover, delay in 7 nm process-based chips is a major concern. The company detected a defect mode in the 7 nm process, which caused yield degradation. Notably, Intel’s chips utilize process technologies that are designed in-house. Intel anticipates the release of data center GPU design, Ponte Vecchio, sometime this year. The chipmaker now expects initial production shipments of the first Intel-based 7 nm client CPU in late 2022 or early 2023. Moreover, initial production shipments of Intel’s first in house-based 7-nm data center CPU design are scheduled in the first half of 2023. This, in turn, is likely to lead to pricing pressure and limit margin expansion in the near term. Amid such a scenario, collaboration with the e-commerce platform of Hepsiburada is expected to help extend its market presence in emerging markets like Turkey.The stock has lost 6% over the past year against the industry’s growth of 49.4%.
