In a marketplace dominated by large corporations, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are facing a constant battle for survival and recognition. Their struggles are multifaceted from sourcing new business to executing them profitably given the global competition. The core of their challenge lies in visibility and connectivity. Despite their crucial role— they contribute up to about 45% of total employment and 33% of GDP in developing countries, as noted by the World Bank. SMEs find it difficult to bridge the gap between offering innovative products and services and connecting with the right customers.

The hurdles they face are numerous: limited marketing resources, constrained budgets, and a lack of widespread networks often leaving them struggling on various fronts from a sustenance angle. The essence of the problem is not just about sustenance; it's about growth, scalability, and the ability to thrive withing the competitive landscape.

Digital Transformation Imperative for SMEs

The industrial landscape has completely changed post COVID especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The pandemic brought about significant changes for which the SMEs had to adapt quickly to the vulnerabilities in the global supply chains. A report by McKinsey & Company highlighted how the Pandemic accelerated digital transformation by several years, with companies shifting towards digital interactions at an unprecedented pace. This shift has been particularly impactful in the SME segment, pushing them to quickly adapt to the challenges in maintaining their market presence and business continuity. 

There has been a notable shift toward digital platforms, offering SMEs new avenues to connect with customers and suppliers thanks to these disruptions and the acceleration in the digital transformation initiatives. Reports by the World Economic Forum highlights, digital platforms can enhance visibility, improve access to markets, and foster better integration with global supply chains, which is crucial for SMEs aiming to navigate the post-pandemic landscape effectively. 

What SMEs desperately need is not just a solution but something revolutionary – a platform that not only understands their challenges but also offers guidance and handholding to overcome them. A platform that can bridge the gap between them and the potential customers seeking their services and products.
