TMALL’s star rating program, the TMALL service provider program evaluates all companies that provide e-commerce operations services on TMALL and TMALL Global based on six standards, namely, e-commerce store operations capabilities, brand marketing capabilities, customer relationship management capabilities, channel operations capabilities, new retail operations capabilities and data operations capabilities as well as collective operations capabilities that include scale of stores they operate.

In addition to above, TMALL introduced a one-on-one interview as a new screening process to evaluate their top service providers. In this interview session, selected top providers are asked to make a presentation that covers their basic corporate information, operations capabilities, vision for innovation, business plan and more. TMALL introduced the new process with the aim to grasp their partners’ collective capabilities and unique operations characteristics more comprehensively. transcosmos China received the TMALL Gold Partner Award in 2016 and was named FIVE-STAR SERVICE PROVIDER in 2017 and in the first half of 2018. Now, recognized for its superior service capabilities and collective strength, transcosmos China once again was awarded FIVE-STAR TMALL SERVICE PROVIDER.

What’s more, TMALL highly regarded transcosmos China’s operations services in two categories namely books & musical instrument and 3C digital categories under the 3C industry in the Q4 2018 TMALL Top 5 Player Rankings by industry.
