The Endeavor: Bringing the Exhilarating Unboxing Experience to the Digital World
Picture this: After placing an order and successfully completing the payment, you can immediately immerse yourself in the excitement of opening a blind box online. With a simple click on the 'open the POP box' button, you're instantly transported into the excitement of uncovering your chosen style, all without waiting for physical delivery.
Yet, developing an e-commerce platform with thrilling customer experience demands a high level of product development expertise.

Without a well-defined workflow and an efficient communication mechanism, rushing through it can lead to chaos, ultimately affecting the launch timeline and product quality.’ remarked Hugo, Head of POP MART’s R&D Department.
