The Quezon City Government through its Small Business and Cooperatives Development and Promotions Office (SBCDPO) has forged its partnership with Enstack, the leading AI-powered business management app to support the digitization of local entrepreneurs.
This partnership aims to empower local entrepreneurs in Quezon City by providing them with access to Enstack’s comprehensive digital tools. These tools include a free stand-alone web store, inventory management, integrated cash-on-delivery and cashless payment processing, shipping solutions, and business analytics, available within an all-in-one, user-friendly app.
“As part of our Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Development initiatives, we are empowering our entrepreneurs with the knowledge and skills to leverage technological solutions. This partnership with Enstack is a crucial step in ensuring our businesses can compete and succeed in the digital economy,” Mayor Joy Belmonte said.
Quezon City is committed to supporting our local entrepreneurs. With over 75,000 registered businesses, and potentially 100,000 including unregistered ones, the need for digital solutions is immense.
The Quezon City Small Business Development and Promotion Office (SBCDPO) is instrumental in this effort, having supported thousands of businesses through programs like the Pangkabuhayang QC, which has assisted over 53,000 small-scale entrepreneurs in our community since its inception.
Macy Castillo, co-founder and CEO of Enstack, emphasized the significance of this collaboration: “Our mission at Enstack is to simplify business operations for entrepreneurs. By partnering with the Quezon City LGU, we are bringing vital digital resources to local businesses, helping them thrive in an increasingly digital economy.”
“Enstack is grateful to the Quezon City LGU for their support and collaboration. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership that will not only enhance the digital capabilities of local businesses but also contribute to the overall economic growth of the city and the rest of the country. This initiative demonstrates our shared commitment to empowering entrepreneurs at the grassroots level and building a resilient business community,” Castillo added.
The Enstack x Quezon City SBCDPO program is designed to support grassroots entrepreneurs by providing regular face-to-face and online training, resources, and access to digital tools that can enhance their business operations. By working closely with the LGU, Enstack can reach small business owners who may otherwise lack the resources to digitize their operations. This collaboration is critical in building a sustainable and inclusive business ecosystem, where every entrepreneur has the opportunity to succeed.
