Quezon City, Enstack partner to help businesses go digital

MANILA, Philippines — Artificial intelligence-powered business management app Enstack has forged a partnership with the local government of Quezon City to support the digitization of enterprises in the city.

In a statement, Enstack said the partnership with the Quezon City government’s Small Business and Cooperatives Development and Promotions Office would involve providing over 10,000 local entrepreneurs in the city access to the app’s digital tools to enhance their operations.

These tools include a free stand-alone web store, inventory management, integrated cash-on-delivery and cashless payment processing, shipping solutions and business analytics.

Enstack’s platform can help various businesses including retail stores, food and beverage outlets, service providers and home-based enterprises.

Under the partnership, there will also be face-to-face and online training for enterprises.

“As part of our micro, small and medium enterprises development initiatives, we are empowering our entrepreneurs with the knowledge and skills to leverage technological solutions. This partnership with Enstack is a crucial step in ensuring our businesses can compete and succeed in the digital economy,” Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte said.

There are over 75,000 registered businesses  in Quezon City.

Including unregistered enterprises, the number of businesses in the city is around 100,000.

“Our mission at Enstack is to simplify business operations for entrepreneurs. By partnering with the Quezon City LGU (local government unit), we are bringing vital digital resources to local businesses, helping them thrive in an increasingly digital economy,” Enstack co-founder and CEO Macy Castillo said.

The partnership will enable Enstack to reach small business owners who may not have the resources to digitize their operations.

Beyond enhancing the digital capabilities of local businesses, Castillo said the partnership is expected to contribute to the overall economic growth of the city and the rest of the country.

“This initiative demonstrates our shared commitment to empowering entrepreneurs at the grassroots level and building a resilient business community,” she said.
