Zencommerce

What inspired you to start something like Zencommerce?

We live in the internet era today, we have so many alternatives available for any product and everything is just fingertips away. After the online presence, physical stores noticed a relative decrease in footfall because the internet world has grown, we have so much information and alternatives available online especially when it comes to the business, when we talk about the business it’s hard to trust any business that does not have a website.

I soon comprehended the essence of the online market and e-store. But the fact that every shopkeeper cannot bear the expenses of having an online store was also lingering in my mind. So, I built a SaaS-based, pocket-friendly eCommerce platform (Software as a Service).

Thus, shopkeepers, entrepreneurs, and start-ups can easily afford it – not to forget, even those who have a single product or more than 50000 products to sell.

I started Zencommerce India as I have seen how small shopkeepers and entrepreneurs and start-ups are struggling to do the business beyond territory and restricting themselves by supplying products to a limited area only and I could sense that there is a lot of potentials and also a need for every business person to take the brand globally, so online shopping plays a very vital role in today’s life.

So, a shopkeeper who decides to run an online store parallelly can make his product available globally as well as get brand recognition (which is equally important in today’s era).

What helps you to stay updated, interested and inspired?

We believe in constant updating and staying up-to-date with the latest technology and business, the world is quickly changing and so we are… With the time we have grown, we have learned from the industry and we have updated ourselves accordingly. This software industry is different, everything is getting digitized but not everything; like small businesses, they are still struggling to earn the profit and that’s why Zencommerce came into existence.

Zencommerce’s motive was to bring small shopkeepers online and that too very instantly hence Zencommerce provides e-commerce platforms to those small businesses at an affordable price. We meet different types of clients. We make different types of websites all the time which helps us to stay interested and when those shopkeepers achieve online business success we get highly inspired. (So we have a saying: orders on their e-store inspires us).

Considering the pace at which the SaaS market is growing, how important is it to keep innovating to stay in the game?

Yes, you are absolutely correct, the SaaS market is growing 20% every year since, and it is very much important to keep innovating to stay in the industry hence Zencommerce keeps on innovating the software and Zencommerce always analyze the needs and requirements of the customers and keep on updating the software accordingly in a much timely manner along with maintaining the server so there won’t be any downtime for any e-store.

Zencommerce came up with a feature which is called PWA (Progressive Web App) which solves major requirements of the mobile application. The discount coupon mechanism present in Zencommerce is such that one can provide discounts in percentage (%) as well as value (currency). Zencommerce has many amazing features that hardly any other e-commerce platform company would provide.

What is the one thing that puts your product apart from the crowd?

One thing about Zencommerce makes a different stand in the market; that is the Price. Zencommerce provides instant online stores at such an affordable price that anyone in this world can afford, even a startup with a very low budget can afford a Zencommerce solution hence we have been awarded as “Most Affordable eCommerce Platform”.

Zencommerce provides budget-friendly inbuilt functionalities; thus, facilitating payment acceptance against the products in their online store. To make the website attractive Zencommerce provided the creative layouts and pool of graphic skins. It enables updating the web stores right from its mobile application, whereas the admin can manage the webshop from their administration panel.

With the changing needs of an online store, Zencommerce ensures it continues to evolve and adapt to its customers’ requirements. (the example we all know getting traffic on the website is equally important, hence Zencommerce platform comes along with an SEO in-built tool where one can manage all Title/Meta keywords along with creating custom URL of the page.
