The Challenge

When Tricor first approached Oxygen, they were looking to revamp their old website, which was hosted on WordPress. The site UX needed improvement and was not optimised for conversions. The website lacked content, had little information on Tricor's core service offerings, and what content was there often wasn't ranking well on Google, especially in local languages. 

Lead management required a system to collect, organise and automate responses to the hundreds and thousands of leads generated in different countries each month for different campaigns.

Tricor also had multiple regional websites that needed to be integrated under a singular CMS with a subdomain per country.

Planning and maintaining a website of this size was challenging and required an expert team of designers, developers and marketing strategists.  

Conversions & Tracking Optimisation

Creating a user-centric, smooth UX paired with the ability to track and manage leads effectively.

Search Engine Optimisation

Some regions and areas of the business weren't ranking well organically, especially in local languages so the website needed complete restructuring for SEO.

Segmentation & Lead Management

Collecting, organising, reporting on and automating responses to enquiries from 22 different markets in multiple different languages.

The Solution

One of the key considerations when rebuilding Tricor's website on HubSpot CMS was to create a user-centric, conversion-focused website that would appeal to people at every stage of the buyer's journey. Our team started by understanding the keywords that drove existing traffic to their website and then understanding visitors' intent based on these keywords. We found that most of the keywords were location-specific such as 'starting a business in Singapore', 'business services Australia', 'business expansion Hong Kong'.

We designed and developed a location dropdown front and centre on Tricor's homepage that would lead them to location-specific pages with more information on their business expansion services. The dropdown significantly shortened the user journey by allowing them to directly navigate to the place they need to be from the homepage without overcomplicating the menu bar. Each location page headings and content was keyword-optimised in English and Chinese and had its own HubSpot form. We had a floating CTA for general inquiries on the homepage and one for scheduling a sales call via the HubSpot meeting scheduling tool.

The Results

Tricor's new conversion-optimised, SEO-friendly website helped boost the number of leads. By creating a clear navigation path with the dropdown function on the homepage and standalone location pages, Tricor has since received thousands of form submissions from the contact us forms. The floating contact us CTA's have also generated hundreds of additional new contacts.

In 2019, Tricor embarked on a company-wide digital transformation strategy to address operational pain points, deliver superior solutions, and craft personalized client experiences. Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which has completely revolutionized the client experience and backend processing, underpinned Tricor’s digital transformation journey well before COVID-19 triggered a massive shift to digitalization and virtualization.

Tricor's digital transformation strategy has shown great success, going on to win the 'Best in Future of Digital Infrastructure' award by IDC Malaysia. Oxygen's marketing efforts to rebuild Tricor's international website has been pivotal in ensuring Tricor Group outperformed competitors online and build a global customer base of +50,000.

The success of Tricor has been so noteworthy that in November 2021, Tricor Group was acquired by Asia's largest private alternative investment firm, BPEA, to continue its transformational growth story for $2.8 billion USD.
