E-commerce Platform for MSMEs to be Introduced by PLDT Enterprise and Multisys

PLDT Enterprise and Multisys Technologies Corp. have recently entered into a partnership as it plans to offer an e-commerce solution for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The partnership aims to bring Multistore in an effort to assist these businesses to strengthen their brand and significantly increase digital sales.

“The platform enables entrepreneurs of different business types to build an online store in minutes, providing essential features such as inventory management system, order, content and customer relationship management, and ready-to-use local payment and delivery,” explained PLDT Enterprise.

MSMEs particularly have a difficult time sorting through e-commerce platforms, especially when taking into consideration the transaction fees and management of third-party integration to payment and delivery platforms. PLDT Enterprise acknowledges these challenges and hopes to address them through Multistore.

“The introduction of Multistore aims to let businesses take their business online if they have not done so yet, by introducing an easy-to-use and affordable solution, and not be constrained by transaction fees per sale and the hassle of setting up delivery and payment integration to complete their online selling ecosystem,” affirmed PLDT & Smart Enterprise first vice-president and head Jojo Gendrano.

“And for those that are further building their brand online, social media and/or online marketplaces, Multistore can serve as another channel to expand their reach and grow sales to ultimately compliment their omnichannel strategy,” added Gendrano.

“We at Multisys really look forward to this partnership with PLDT Enterprise as we embark on a new journey that will unfold a new world of business opportunities,” elaborated David Almirol, Multisys Chief Executive Officer and Founder. “Multistore and BEYOND FIBER can help a lot of MSMEs to continue operating again and even improve the way they run their business to become better and more efficient.”
