E-commercein Indonesia is looking to be Asia's largest e-commerce market hitting $130 billion by 2020 and boasting a revenue that is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2016-2021) of 20.7 % resulting in a market volume of US$14,474m in 2021, and a steady 15% year on year growthlying in jewelry.

WhizLiz (or PT. Lino Walden Technology) is the latest venture between PT. Lino Putra Mandiri under its brand Lino & Sons, one of Indonesia's leading jewelry companies, and PT WGS, an industry leader in Indonesia for enterprise software solutions that has one of the biggest software development houses in the country.

"We are excited to have WGS as our partner to launch WhizLiz," commented Andrianto Sylviano, Founder & Chief Operating Officer of WhizLiz. "We have a shared vision of being at the forefront of service and technology to provide the best experience for our clients."

"At Lino & Sons, we pride ourselves in being trendsetters, and this has to go beyond just providing the highest quality in jewelry," says Ivan Lingga, co-founder of Lino & Sons. "We have to make the engagements that customers have with us whether they are show-rooming online or are physically at our stores seamless, we feel that our partnership with WGS will give us a distinct advantage in establishing WhizLiz, to capture the need of the growing, sophisticated customer."

As affluence grows in Indonesia, helping elevate many from lower income brackets into a burgeoning and more sophisticated middle class, a target market that has greater spending power opens up. With up to 84% growth seen in online luxury brand sales, despite concerns of an economic slowdown.

WhizLiz targets a growing pool of customers that are discerning with the luxury brands and products that they choose. To cater to this crowd best, in terms of products variations, WhizLiz can make anything from fashion to bridal jewelries. Besides having the widest selection in the market, all SKUs are in stock ready to be delivered and received within days.

Another feature of WhizLiz is its guarantee on the purity of the jewelry sold. Traditionally online and offline jewelers over-promise on its products' purity, as it is impossible to tell without a laboratory analysis. Lino & Sons exports its own and WhizLiz products overseas so the purity of every piece of jewelry is assured.

"Web and social media engagement in Indonesia has become entrenched as part of the culture of young, successful working adults in the country," observes Ikin Wirawan, founder of WGS. "We are confident that the quality of products and culture that Lino & Sons stands for is in line with the WhizLiz brand."

Aiming to capitalize on the strong and vibrant jewelry market, Indonesia has projected up to 8% CAGR in jewelry sales, a large number of which stems from home grown jewellers. The stage is primed for WhizLiz in providing the growing market a trusted domestic brand with a robust online platform.
