Industry Mainstay

Boutir is a legitimate, established commerce platform in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, founded in 2015 (not 1999 as claimed). While the submission contains significant inaccuracies (e.g., launch date, 'everyone' audience, 'most people' traction), external verification confirms it powers over 100,000 merchant signups (approx. 1,600 detectable active web stores) and offers relevant video-commerce features. The project demonstrates strong regional utility and moderate traction, though the submission quality was extremely poor.
