Asia Trade Directory Launches Real-Time Chat to Supercharge Buyer–Seller Communication

Asia Trade Directory, Asia’s premier B2B platform connecting exporters, importers, and manufacturers, has rolled out a powerful upgrade to its messaging system—introducing real-time chat for smoother, faster, and more productive buyer–seller communication.

With the new live messaging experience, users no longer need to rely on email alerts or page refreshes to keep conversations flowing. Messages now appear instantly, enabling businesses to clarify queries, negotiate terms, and build trust with greater efficiency.

Here’s a breakdown of the new features and how they benefit businesses:

Instant Message Delivery & Read Receipts
Every message shows when it’s been delivered—and crucially, when it’s read. This eliminates uncertainty and helps move deals forward faster.

Live Chat Status Updates
As soon as the recipient opens the chat, unread messages are marked in real time with double-check marks, giving senders confidence that their message has been seen.

Smart Sidebar for Easier Navigation
A redesigned, organized inbox now sorts conversations by activity, complete with previews and timestamps—helping users quickly find what matters most.

Modern Chat Interface
The interface features a sleek, card-style design with clearer message formatting and an easy-to-use composer, keeping users focused on business discussions.

Reliable Notifications Even When Offline
Whether logged in or not, users receive real-time alerts about new messages, ensuring they never miss important trade opportunities.

Confidence in Message Delivery
With instant delivery and visible status updates, users enjoy peace of mind knowing their communication isn’t lost or overlooked.

Why It Matters for Business
