Southeast Asia's First SME superapp Enstack is Now Here in the Philippines
Southeast Asia’s first SME supperapp Enstack enters strong in the
Philippines. Since launching in beta late in February, Enstack has helped over
10,000 merchants by providing them with all the tools to run their small
business directly from their mobile phones.
Enstack is a fast, free, and easy-to-use SME superapp that provides
entrepreneurs with all operational, logistical, and financial tools they need
in a single platform. On Enstack, businesses can accept orders from customers
over the phone, in person, and online via its revolutionary Chat Store. With
the Chat Store, merchants can automatically receive orders via their Facebook
Messenger accounts, without replying to each message, and directly fulfill them
using the Enstack app so they never miss a sale.
SMEs can also offer customers multiple payment options, including Cash
On Delivery, GCash, Paymaya, BPI and Unionbank direct debit, and ship packages
with integrated logistics providers such as Grab and 2Go directly from the app.
Other management tools include sales and expenses recording, inventory
management, and analytics. Enstack is free to use, reducing barriers among SMEs
to digitize due to costs.
“Running a business from home can be exhausting. On top of the manual
labor required, I also spend a lot of time using different apps and tools to
ensure all orders are received, processed and delivered timely to customers.
With Enstack, I can now automatically receive orders with Chat Store, get paid
whatever way my customer wants whether it’s COD, GCash, or bank transfer, and
send products on the same day through Grab using just one app,” said Sunshine
Mesias of Eishan Shop.
Behind Enstack is Oriente, who has provided Filipinos access to credit
through their Shop Now, Pay Later services. With Enstack, it expands its focus
on Southeast Asian SMEs and strengthens its mission to empower local merchants.
“After supporting the biggest merchants through our digital credit
services, we now want to optimize the smallest of businesses so they can keep
up with the rise in digital consumers. After seeing the swift growth and
adoption of our free easy-to-use superapp, driven purely by word-of-mouth, we
know we've created a game changer with Enstack. We’re glad to see our initial
group of over 10,000 SMEs, led by merchants in food and beverage, feel empowered
as they take their first step towards digitization so they can be more
efficient, profitable, and thrive in today’s economy,” shared Geoffrey
Prentice, co-founder of Oriente.
“According to the World Economic Forum, SMEs make up 99.5% of business
in the Philippines but only contribute 36% to the local economy. Lack of access
to digital technologies that allow SMEs to adapt to new ways of doing business
may decrease this number further. Technologies like Enstack help small local
businesses maximize their potential and increase their contribution to the
economy so we can close this gap,” said Lance Gokongwei, President and Chief
Executive Officer of JG Summit Holdings, Inc.
Enstack is available in the Philippines and Vietnam and is set to
launch in other Southeast Asian countries in the next 18 months. It is free to download on the App Store and Google Play.
