1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Brief description of business and product concepts


Our startup, SwifTech, seeks to establish itself as a leading provider of high-quality and stylish
portable power bank casings, seamlessly integrating a phone casing with a power bank. This
innovative product eliminates the need for extra cables, reducing the risk of entanglement, and
addresses concerns about the weight and bulkiness of traditional power banks. With a keen
focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, we aim to address the evolving needs of
tech-savvy consumers who prioritize both functionality and aesthetics in their mobile
accessories.

1.2 Target Market


Our primary target demographic for product sales encompasses individuals residing in Selangor,
Malaysia. Selangor, being one of the most populous and economically vibrant states, offers a
substantial market for our products. The diverse population, ranging from teenagers to working
adults, including e-hailing workers, presents an ideal customer base. The versatility of our
product makes it well-suited for the dynamic lifestyles of individuals within this demographic.
For teenagers who are constantly on the go and working adults, especially those engaged in
professions like e-hailing, our Portable Powerbank Casing provides a convenient and efficient
solution to stay charged throughout their busy schedules. The strategic selection of Selangor as
our target market aligns with the region's demographics and lifestyle patterns, ensuring the broad
relevance and appeal of our innovative product.

1.3 Competitive Advantage


In the market, various types of power banks, including magnetic and built-in cable power banks,
are available. However, SwifTech distinguishes itself by offering a power bank that doubles as a
phone casing, providing exceptional convenience for daily use. Our product, utilising the safety
and reliability of Li-Po batteries, aligns with the industry standard. Notably, SwifTech's power
bank matches the 5000 mAh capacity of comparable products in the market, while one
competitor offers a 10000 mAh capacity at a significantly higher price point. Despite this, our
power bank with casing stands out as an affordable option, incorporating multiple safety features

1
such as overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit, and temperature protections. The combination
of competitive pricing, quality assurance, and advanced safety measures makes our product a
worthwhile consideration.

1.4 Profitability
The profitability of SwifTech's power bank with casing is expected to be favourable due to
several key factors. The product's unique design, combining a power bank with a phone casing,
sets it apart in the market, attracting customers seeking convenience and innovation. The
estimated profit earned is contingent on factors such as sales volume, market demand, and the
effectiveness of marketing initiatives. With a well-executed sales and marketing strategy,
positive customer experiences, and a responsive approach to market dynamics, SwifTech
anticipates a strong and sustainable profit margin for its power bank with casing. Regular
monitoring of economic conditions, customer feedback, and competition will be crucial for
optimizing profitability over time.

1.5 Management Team


The management team of the company consists of highly qualified individuals with diverse roles.
Ilya Khadija binti Rosli serves as the Managing Director, overseeing overall business strategy
and direction. Raja Nurul Izzah binti Raja Mohd Fadzil takes on the role of Administrative
Manager, handling organizational and administrative functions. Wardina Sofiya Binti Muhamad

2.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Product Details

For this assignment, our group has chosen our product to be a Portable Power Bank Casing. A
brief basis of the product, a power bank is a slot-in casing power bank that can just slot the
power bank to users’ phone as a phone case and their phone will automatically charge without
any plug-ins from external charging cords unless for recharging purposes. The built in power
bank case produced to aid smartphone users in terms of ease, non-bulky gadgets whilst moving
from places to places. Traditional power banks are a burden for the smartphone users as they
have to endure endless heavy bags or pockets for bringing the product along their journey due to
restrictions over their depleting battery phones, let alone ones with short-life battery capabilities.
With the innovation and marketing of the portable power bank case, not only would it benefit
smartphone users, it also gives profitable outcomes to generate new ideas in the future.

2.3 State of Development Product

We collectively chose the Portable Power Bank Casing as our final product due to its innovative
nature, providing a solution not yet available in the market. Crafted from silicon, it comes in
versatile black and khaki colors, making it user-friendly and easy to maintain. The soft TPU
material allows for easy installation without the risk of deformation, offering comprehensive
protection for smartphones. The casing features a back power button for convenient control, and
at least eight protective measures, including overheat and short circuit protection. Designed to
support earphones usage, it addresses the charging needs of smartphone users effectively, making
it an anticipated and user-friendly product.

2.4 Patent or Intellectual Property

For our distinctive feature in the portable power bank casing, we've opted to safeguard our
intellectual property by pursuing a patent and copyright registration for our product. We've
chosen to secure a patent for our power bank through the Intellectual Property Corporation of
Malaysia (MyIPO). This step ensures the protection of the invention we've developed for the
creation of the Portable Power bank. This innovative product integrates a power bank with a

5
phone casing. Consequently, by initiating the patent application process within our company, we
aim to obtain ownership rights over the patent. Additionally, we will seek a copyright for our
creative works associated with the design and prototypes, affording us exclusive rights over our
Portable Power Bank Casing.

2.5 Opportunities for the Expansion of Product

The Portable Power Bank Casing presents several promising opportunities for expansion. Firstly,
diversifying the product line with an array of colors and designs would cater to varying
consumer preferences and align with evolving fashion trends. This approach would not only
enhance the product's visual appeal but also increase its market relevance. Moreover, there is
potential for growth through the development of versions of the Portable Power Bank Casing that
are specifically tailored to fit a wider range of smartphone models. This expansion strategy
would broaden the product's reach, accommodating the diverse array of smartphones in the
market and appealing to a larger consumer base.

To tap into the global demand for innovative smartphone accessories, there is an
opportunity to extend the market reach beyond the initial target in Selangor. Exploring
distribution opportunities nationally and internationally would position the Portable Power Bank
Casing as a sought-after accessory in various regions. In summary, by strategically pursuing
these diverse expansion opportunities, the Portable Power Bank Casing can position itself for
sustained growth and prominence in the dynamic smartphone accessory market.

3.0 TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

SwifTech has developed a Portable Power Bank Casing. In today's modern technology era, most
people rely on smartphones for their daily activities. Some consumers frequently use their
smartphones until the battery drains, disrupting their ability to use the device's functionality. To
address this issue, power banks have been introduced. However, the typical power banks

6
available in the market are often large and heavy, making them impractical and inconvenient for
consumers to carry around as part of their daily essentials.

SwifTech's Portable Power Bank Casing is designed to be much lighter and smaller,
providing users with a convenient solution whenever they need it. Additionally, it serves as a
phone casing while charging the smartphone. The 360 scratch-guard protection helps safeguard
the smartphone from slipping, falling, and potential damage to the phone screen, preventing
scratches. With its dual functionality, this 2-in-1 product makes it easier for consumers to
manage fewer items while using their smartphones. The power bank with the case has a charging
capacity of 5000 milliampere-hours (mAh), offering a maximum power uptime of 5 hours. This
capacity is sufficient to ensure that the smartphone lasts over a day for heavy-phone users.

The materials used for the product include silicone, known for its retention of flexibility
and low compression set in extreme hot and cold. Furthermore, the soft Thermoplastic
polyurethane (TPU) design makes it easy to install without deformation. Consequently, the
portable power bank is practical and suitable for daily commuting.

4.3.2 Comparison competing and substitute products

There are various types of power bank available in the market, such as magnetic and built-in
cable power banks. Despite that, SwifTech offers a power bank that is attached as a casing for the
phone which is convenient to be used in daily lives. As for the quality of the product, most of the
power banks nowadays use Li-Po battery due to safety and the reliability and this battery is also
used by SwifTech. Furthermore, our product has the same capacity of 5000 mAh as the two other
power banks made by competitors. There is one competitor that offers 10000 mAh capacity,
however the power bank is much more expensive than our power bank with casing. Hence, the

13
price for our product, given the multiple safety protections such as overcharge, over-discharge,
short-circuit and temperature protections, and quality offers are appropriate and can be
considered worthy.

4.3.3 Fundamental value that is added into our product

SwifTech's power bank casing sets itself apart from that of our competitors in several noteworthy
ways. First and foremost, the power bank is significantly smaller and thinner in comparison,
boasting a sleek design with a mere 20-millimetre width. This streamlined profile not only takes
little space, but also appears handy without consistently having to attach the cable to the phone.

Moreover, SwifTech's power bank exhibits a lighter weight range, ranging from 122g to 162g
compared to competitors’ products which is 180g up to 370g. In addition, the price of
SwifTech’s Power bank Casing is below the competitor’s price with only RM72.

4.3.4 Advantages and disadvantages of our products and why other products are not
meeting customer’s needs.

SwifTech Power Bank Casing stands out with its dual functionality, serving both as a power bank
and a protective casing, offering users the convenience of a versatile and integrated solution. On
the other hand, one of the disadvantages is that it is not available to other phone models other
than Apple iPhone and older models such iPhone 5 and iPhone 6. It also did not have the ability
to charge for more than one phone at a time compared to our competitors. In addition, our
product has a smaller battery capacity with only 5000 mAh, compared to competitors that have
10000mAh. Despite this difference, it is understandable to have a bigger capacity when the
product offers charging more than one phone at the same time. However, as our product’s target
customers are delivery riders and students in Petaling Jaya, it will be more practical for them to
use our product since they mainly use one smartphone on a daily basis. Thus, 5000 mAh is
considered a good amount of capacity for charging one smartphone.

Table 4.4 : Estimated market share and sales
Market share is assumed to be 78.5% for the year 2024 and decreased by 0.2% in the year 2025.
Based on the annual increase from 2024, total sales for 2025 become RM 720,000. In addition, it
is speculated that by the year 2026, there will be an increase of 1.5% from the year 2025. As a
result, the total sales obtained will be RM 767,304 in the year 2026. However, for the year 2027,
the market share decreased to 79%, which is 0.5% lesser from the previous year. The total sales
also became RM 800,640. Lastly, for the year 2028, market share is expected to be at 83.6% and
expected to garner total sales of RM 889,560. Although there is a decrease in market share in
certain years, the total sales are increasing each year.

4.5. Marketing Strategy

4.5.1 Overall Market Strategy

There are four key components of marketing strategies, which are product, pricing, place and
promotion. These four elements are also known as 4P and the marketing mix. The combinations
of these elements are crucial for a company's profitability and overall growth. Proficient
marketing strategies not only attract more customers but also enhance the decision-making
process during the launch of new products.

15
Consequently, our company formulated a marketing approach aimed at attracting prospective
buyers, commencing with a comprehensive market survey and identification of the target market.
This strategic initiative empowered the entrepreneur to strategically plan and achieve marketing
objectives. The market survey collected provides valuable insights about potential customers,
aiding businesses in future preparation. Recognizing market needs is also compulsory for
enhancing customer satisfaction.

After conducting the market survey, our company is targeting delivery workers, on-site workers,
and students in Petaling Jaya. This is because our target customers are individuals who
frequently use smartphones in their daily lives. Consistently using and opening apps on
smartphones may drain the battery much faster. Thus, with our power bank casing, they can use
their smartphones without worrying about the battery level, especially in emergency situations.

4.5.2 Pricing

In formulating our pricing strategy, we have opted for a cost-based approach, which involves
calculating the per-unit cost of production and adding a markup to determine the selling price. To
illustrate, our selling price will be set at 1.4 times the cost of the materials used in the
manufacturing process. This deliberate pricing structure is designed to not only cover all
production costs but also generate a profit margin.

Furthermore, adopting a cost-based pricing strategy allows us to offer products and services that
are cost-effective to our potential customers. This approach strikes a balance between covering
operational costs and providing value to consumers, making our offerings competitive in the
market. By maintaining this equilibrium, we aim to attract a wider customer base while
sustaining a profitable business model. Ultimately, this pricing strategy is a deliberate effort to
strike the right balance between affordability for customers and financial viability for our
company.

The price of SwifTech Portable Power Bank Casing is cheaper compared to the competitors.
However, our product offers better features than the existing product available in the market.
Most of the available power banks provide cable to connect the power bank to the phone,

16
however it may require people to consistently hold both power bank and phone while using the
phone. In addition, the power bank tends to be heavy and thick. Our product solves the problems
by providing a thin and lighter power bank with casing to ensure customers can use both power
bank and phone with ease.

Product Price

Baseus Built-in Dual Cable RM 84.90

Amgras PowerMeta RM 110.90

Remax Built-in Cable Mini Power Bank RM 90.00

Table 4.5.2 : Competitors’ product and its price

4.5.3 Sales Tactic

Sales tactics encompass carefully planned activities designed to influence potential customers to
make purchases with clarity and trust. We will ensure that the products we develop and wish to
market are constructed using the finest quality materials. Moreover, we commit to thorough
packaging to protect our company's products during the delivery process to customers. By
employing these strategies, our goal is to elevate customer satisfaction with SwifTech Portable
Power Bank Casing.

4.5.4 Service and Warranty Policy

A warranty acts as a testament to the quality of a product, reflecting the company's full
confidence in its reliability. In the context of our product, customers can expect to receive both
service and warranty benefits after completing their payment transactions. This comprehensive
warranty assures customers that, in the event of any damage occurring to the purchased power
bank casing within the specified warranty period, they have the option to return the item and
receive a new one.

17
This warranty coverage extends for a duration of one month from the date of purchase, offering
customers a reasonable timeframe to identify and address any potential issues. By providing such
a warranty, our company not only stands behind the quality of its product but also aims to instil
trust and satisfaction in our customers, reinforcing our commitment to delivering a reliable and
durable Portable Power Bank Casing.

4.5.5 Advertising and Promotion

Promotion is a strategic approach that ensures businesses align with the most efficient marketing
mix and techniques. Utilising advertising will facilitate the marketing of our services, creating
awareness and informing others about the existence of our offerings. This promotional effort is
designed to provide customers with clear information, enticing them to make a purchase. The
specific details of the promotion we intend to employ are outlined below.

● Business Card

Each company issues its own set of business cards, ensuring that all employees, especially
managers, are equipped with this marketing tool for interactions with clients. The compact
and portable nature of business cards makes it convenient for customers to reach out to us
more easily, fostering effective communication and accessibility.

● Social Media advertising

Utilising social media advertising stands out as one of the most impactful promotional
approaches. Our company can enhance product promotion by investing in media campaigns
involving images and videos. The visual appeal of social media ads is particularly effective in
capturing users' attention and prompting them to explore our products further.

18
4.5.6 Distribution

For our product, we put our product on online shopping platforms such as Shopee and TikTok
which are widely used in Malaysia. All of the details and features of the Portable Power Bank
Casing will be put there, alongside the pictures of the power bank. Moreover, there is an option
to chat with the seller in the online shopping platforms that can be used by customers, to ask for
additional information regarding our product. On top of that, we do Shopee Live and TikTok
Live to promote and explain further about our product so that customers can have a better
understanding about the product we offer.
