businesses go digital
PLDT, Voyager launch concierge service of social commerce
platform TackThis!
[August 13, 2015 -
Manila] – Most businesses in the Philippines - large and small - recognize the
potential of eCommerce, but only few are ready for the unique challenges that
come with selling to customers online.
To address this gap, Voyager Innovations
(Voyager), the digital unit of PLDT and Smart, together with PLDT Alpha and
PLDT SME Nation, has launched today its premium concierge service for online
store creator TackThis! to over a thousand partner businesses so they can
quickly and efficiently build their own branded digital commerce footprint that
incorporates a seamless social shopping experience for customers.
As a platform,
TackThis! enables businesses to set up their online shops in just a matter of
minutes. They can then “tack” their store to Facebook and other websites and
the platform facilitates the customer’s entire digital commerce journey - beginning
from the point of order, through the management of inventory, and ending with
fulfillment and payment.
The premium concierge service aims to enable
larger retailers who need a more comprehensive suite of features on top of the
basic offerings of TackThis! Together with the wide array of solutions from
PLDT Alpha and PLDT SME Nation, TackThis! is seen to further boost digital
commerce in the country.

concierge service gives retailers an end-to-end service that streamlines their

resources in maintaining their online stores. TackThis! allows them to focus on
what they know best: selling their
products,” said Kat Luna-Abelarde, First Vice President and Head of PLDT SME
Business.
The advanced
features that come as a part of the concierge service include professional
services for an effortless online store creation as well as hassle-free store
management of logistics, payments and customer service via a team of TackThis!
