Mekari has acquired Desty, a digital commerce platform, for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition marks a significant move for Mekari to expand its offerings within the rapidly growing digital business ecosystem.
Desty, founded in September 2020, aims to make digital commerce accessible to everyone. The company provides a comprehensive suite of omnichannel solutions, including Desty Omni for managing stocks and orders across various marketplaces, Desty Store for online store creation, and Desty Page, a digital platform for creators, influencers, and merchants to promote and sell products. With headquarters in Jakarta and Hangzhou, Desty has quickly gained traction, serving over 4,000 brands and stores in Indonesia with its tools for product management, order processing, stock synchronization, and consolidated reporting.
The acquisition is strategically significant for Mekari, as it integrates Desty’s robust digital commerce capabilities into its existing portfolio. Desty’s ecosystem, which also includes merchant tools, financial services, fulfillment, and accounting software integration, complements Mekari’s focus on providing comprehensive business solutions. This union is expected to create substantial synergies, offering businesses a more holistic platform to manage their online and offline operations efficiently, from sales and marketing to back-end logistics and financial reporting.
By combining Desty’s strong presence in digital sales and creator tools with Mekari’s broader business management expertise, the integrated entity is poised to deliver an unparalleled "one-stop ecosystem" for merchants and sellers. This strategic purchase will empower a wider range of businesses, particularly SMEs and individual entrepreneurs, with enhanced tools to navigate and succeed in the digital economy, streamlining their operations and accelerating growth.
