Techsembly
With localisation and tech being two pivotal components of success for our clients, investing in Techsembly was a natural choice for ArcOn Brands.
Dubbed “Shopify with localisation”, Techsembly is an e-commerce SaaS solution built specifically for businesses that cross borders, and need to appeal and remain relevant in local markets.
Features include multiple languages, currencies, unique fulfillment and logistics mechanisms, as well as local payment gateways and payout methods.
