Mekari, a leading Indonesian Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, announced its acquisition of Desty, an omnichannel commerce platform designed to streamline multichannel sales for thousands of businesses.

This move reflects Mekari’s commitment to enhancing its business ecosystem amid increasing digital retail demands.

Expanding Integrated Business Ecosystems for Efficient Growth

Serving over 35,000 companies and 1 million professionals, Mekari offers a suite of solutions, including HR, payroll, accounting, and CRM tools.

By acquiring Desty, Mekari broadens its ecosystem to cover omnichannel commerce, an essential area as consumer behavior shifts towards diverse online and offline channels.

This integration allows businesses to automate inventory, orders, warehouses, products, and customer interactions from multiple marketplaces, directly linking them to Mekari’s financial, operational, and HR systems.

Suwandi Soh, CEO of Mekari, explained, “Integrating Desty into Mekari’s ecosystem will help businesses reduce operational complexity. From stock management and finance to customer communications, everything can be managed within a unified platform. The goal is simple: make businesses more efficient so they can focus on growth.”

Leadership Insights: Vision Behind Mekari-Desty Partnership

The acquisition is rooted in a shared vision to connect businesses with comprehensive technologies that meet their needs holistically. Soh added, “With Desty, we extend Mekari’s ecosystem from back-office solutions to commerce. Our vision is for every Indonesian business, from SMEs to enterprises, to access technologies previously available only to large players.”

Dennis Harsono, CEO of Desty, emphasized the enhanced value for existing users: “Nothing changes for Desty users except more opportunities. Mekari’s ecosystem strengthens our services, making them more integrated and unlocking new capabilities that were not available before.”

He further noted, “Omnichannel is no longer optional but necessary. With Mekari’s support, we aim to help every merchant, from small businesses to large brands, grow faster and smarter.”

Supporting Indonesia’s Businesses with One-Stop SaaS Solutions

Founded in 2021, Desty evolved from a simple page builder to a full-fledged omnichannel platform, including Desty Store, Desty Chat, Desty POS, and Desty Omni.

This solution allows retailers and brands to manage both online and offline channels seamlessly within one system.

Mekari’s strategic acquisition solidifies its position as Indonesia’s comprehensive one-stop business solution provider, covering HR, finance, tax, and now omnichannel commerce, accelerating efficient and sustainable business growth.

Both Mekari and Desty are supported by East Ventures, highlighting strong investor confidence in their vision and growth potential.
