“I started Anchanto with a singular mission to help simplify multichannel selling and eCommerce logistics for businesses by providing them access to cutting-edge technology. Today we take another step towards that mission.

– Vaibhav Dabhade, CEO and Founder of Anchanto

“With this investment, we aim to add new features and capabilities to our platform, providing additional services to our existing customers and expanding our presence across newer countries,” Dabhade said.

To note, Telkom Indonesia was previously a customer of Anchanto before turning into an investor. The telco firm was extremely satisfied with Anchanto’s recent growth and achievements, given that Anchanto has exceeded the business expectations, and therefore decided to double their investments into Anchanto. Anchanto is looking at the third closing of the ongoing Series C round in the coming months.

Cutting-edge SaaS

Developed in-house, Anchanto’s cutting-edge SaaS offerings simplify backend operations and helps enterprises achieve unprecedented productivity through automated eCommerce management. This includes Anchanto’s flagship product, SelluSeller, which is an online multi-channel eCommerce management software that offers a simplified, one-stop solution to manage selling operations across 100+ local and international sales channels such as Shopee, Lazada, Amazon, Zalora, Tokopedia, PG Mall, eBay, Magento, Shopify, and Zilingo, among others.

The second offering, Wareo, is a full-suite Warehouse Management System built with 3PLs, Warehousing players, Brands and e-Distributors in mind. Wareo helps businesses manage B2B & B2C processes through a single system and transform their existing warehouses into a seamless fulfillment center. Wareo enables businesses to diversify offerings and start serving B2C players, as they do not need huge capital investments and can hit better revenue numbers while utilizing their existing assets and resources.

API calls

Anchanto’s highly stable platforms have been built to handle massive volumes for enterprise customers and hence played key roles in defining the company’s success.

For instance, the company rolled out the next version of its platform and scaled its support infrastructure massively to help its customers handle huge order volumes during the last Singles Day (11.11) online sale festival. The sale turned out to be huge, and Anchanto’s customers processed 1.07 million+ orders on the Singles Day alone, 4X volume than the previous year.
