Enstack, Southeast Asia’s first SME superapp, has made a great start in the Philippines. Since its beta debut in late February, Enstack has aided over 10,000 merchants by providing them with all of the tools they need to operate their small company from their smartphones.
Enstack is a quick, free, and simple-to-use SME superapp that brings together all of an entrepreneur’s operational, logistical, and financial resources in one place. Businesses may take orders from clients using Enstack’s groundbreaking Chat Store over the phone, in person, and online. Using the Chat Store, businesses can automatically accept orders through their Facebook Messenger accounts without having to respond to each one and immediately fulfill them using the Enstack app, ensuring that they never miss a transaction.
SMEs may also give clients a variety of payment alternatives, including as Cash On Delivery, GCash, Paymaya, BPI, and Unionbank direct debit, and ship items straight from the app with integrated logistics providers like Grab and 2Go. Sales and cost tracking, inventory management, and analytics are some of the other management tools. Enstack is free to use, which lowers the cost of digitization for SMEs.
“Running a home-based business may be demanding. Aside from the manual labor, I spend a lot of time utilizing various applications and tools to guarantee that all orders are received, processed, and delivered to clients on time. “Using Enstack, I can now automatically collect orders with Chat Store, be paid whichever my customers like, whether it’s COD, GCash, or bank transfer, and dispatch things the same day through Grab using only one app,” Sunshine Mesias of Eishan Shop said.
Oriente, the company behind Enstack, has given Filipinos access to credit through its Shop Now, Pay Later services. It deepens its commitment to help local businesses by focusing on Southeast Asian SMEs with Enstack.
“After assisting the largest merchants with our digital credit services, we now aim to help the tiniest companies stay up with the growing number of digital customers.” We know we’ve built a game changer with Enstack after watching the rapid growth and acceptance of our free, easy-to-use superapp, driven only by word-of-mouth. “We’re pleased to see our initial group of over 10,000 SMEs, lead by food and beverage merchants, feel empowered as they take their first steps toward digitalization in order to be more efficient, lucrative, and survive in today’s market,” said Geoffrey Prentice, co-founder of Oriente.
“Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 99.5 percent of all businesses in the Philippines, yet they only contribute 36 percent to the local economy, according to the World Economic Forum. Lack of access to digital technologies that allow SMEs to adapt to new business models might further reduce this number. JG Summit Holdings, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer Lance Gokongwei remarked, “Technologies like Enstack enable small local firms maximize their potential and boost their contribution to the economy so we can bridge this gap.”
Enstack is now accessible in the Philippines and Vietnam, with more Southeast Asian nations to follow in the following 18 months. It’s available for free on the App Store and Google Play.
