Temu (pronounced TEE’-moo) is an online marketplace that connects consumers with millions of sellers, manufacturers, and brands around the world. Using Temu’s app or website, shoppers can choose from a wide range of products across 29 categories, including electronics, fashion, and home and kitchen. The company’s name comes from the phrase “Team Up, Price Down,” which refers to Temu’s next-generation manufacturing business model. Temu partners with sellers and brands to help design products and streamline supply chains. Using advanced analytics, the company shares consumer insights directly with manufacturers, so they can adjust product design and procurement strategies to optimize inventory and better respond to consumer demand. Temu guides manufacturers through each step of the production and sales process, from product ideas and design to delivery. Founded in 2022, Temu is headquartered in Boston. Temu has established a global supply chain infrastructure to offer customers around the world fast shipping times, delivering products through partners such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx. Temu's manufacturing partners save on marketing and inventory costs by anticipating consumer preferences and behaviors, and these savings are passed on to consumers in the form of cheaper prices. Temu rewards sellers and brands for offering shoppers the most affordable prices on quality items customized to meet demand. By sharing with manufacturers directly what consumers want, Temu is able to better meet niche consumer needs and reduce the environmental impact of unnecessary inventory.

LevelsPro leverages gamification methods to teach, reinforce and motivate users to adopt an organization's best practices using work incentives, competitions and training games. Imagine that you work at a clothing store in the mall. You get points for every pair of jeans that you sell. You get points when you sell a top to go with the jeans. You get points when you play a training game to improve your ability to sell accessories. And when you get enough points you can earn an award - like an extra 10% discount, or the best parking spot in the lot, or your choice of shifts for a week. Wouldn’t you work a little bit harder to win those awards sooner? That’s what LevelsPro does. It takes the game play experience that we’ve all learned through casual games and applies it to the real work that’s done every day. It uses missions, points, levels and awards to motivate hourly workers to improve their skills, improve their performance and contribute more effectively to the team effort.
