Whether you run an SME as a side hustle or full-time, growing a business is not an easy task. In order for your business to thrive, and not just survive, you need a combination of the right strategy and solutions like SME superapp Enstack.

Enstack’s Single Sign Up feature makes it easy to access all the tools and services you need to take your business to the next level.

Maging isang madiskarteng business owner and set yourself up for growth with these four tips from Enstack:

Keep your store open 24/7

Missed out on an order dahil hindi ka nakareply? Ensure you have online sales channels open around the clock that show your products, run promos, and engage and attract new and repeat customers. Take orders via phone or in person with Enstack’s Cashier miniapp or online using Chat Store, which automatically takes orders on Facebook Messenger even while you’re asleep.

Bill your customers right away

Matagal at mabagal ba ang bayaran? Send invoices promptly so can you get paid as soon as possible. Enstack lets you manage, ship, and bill for all orders made on Enstack. Send invoices with links that direct customers to a payment portal, making it easy for your business to get paid. With Enstack, madali na maningil.

Accept that ‘cashless’ will be king

Madami bang nagtatanong kung tumatanggap ka ng GCash? While cash on delivery still rules, cashless payments are now more common post-pandemic. Enstack lets you offer a range of cashless options from mobile wallets like GCash, PayMaya and GrabPay to online transfers via BPI and UnionBank direct debit while helping you keep track of payments.

Say goodbye to pen and paper

Nauubos ba ang oras mo sa manual na paglilista at pagcocompute? Paper records of sales, expenses, and inventory are prone to errors and can easily be lost. Switch to Enstack’s digital Accounting tool to track your sales and expenses and generate reports quickly. Then, shift to the Inventory mini app which automatically updates stock levels real-time based on orders made across all Enstack channels including the Cashier miniapp Chat Store. Now your records are always accessible through your phone.

Download Enstack for free on the App Store and Google Play.
