Jakarta, 27 August 2025 — Mekari, Indonesia’s leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company, today announced the acquisition of Desty, an omnichannel commerce platform that helps thousands of merchants manage cross-channel sales more efficiently.
Mekari is recognized as the country’s #1 integrated SaaS platform, serving over 35,000 businesses and 1 million professionals across Indonesia. Its suite of products — including Mekari Talenta (HR & payroll), Mekari Jurnal (accounting & operations), Mekari Qontak (CRM & omnichannel engagement), Mekari Officeless, Mekari Expense, Mekari Sign, and more — provides a complete, cloud-based ecosystem to drive efficiency, productivity, and sustainable growth for businesses of all sizes.
The acquisition of Desty extends Mekari’s reach into omnichannel commerce, a critical area as digitalization and consumer behavior reshape retail. With Desty, businesses can now manage inventory, orders, products, warehouses, and customer conversations across marketplaces in one system — directly connected to Mekari’s financial, HR, and operational software.
“The integration of Desty into the Mekari ecosystem will help businesses reduce operational complexity. From inventory and finance to customer communications — everything can now be managed in one platform. The goal is simple: to make businesses more efficient so they can focus on growth,”
said Suwandi Soh, CEO of Mekari
Suwandi Soh stated that the acquisition was driven by a shared vision: to connect businesses with comprehensive technologies that meet all their needs. “With Desty, we are expanding Mekari’s ecosystem from back office to commerce. Our vision is for every business in Indonesia, from SMEs to enterprises, to access technologies that were once only available to large players,” he added.
Dennis Harsono, CEO of Desty, also commented, “For Desty users, nothing changes except more opportunities. With Mekari’s ecosystem, our services will be stronger, more integrated, and provide access to new capabilities that were previously unavailable.” He then added: “Omnichannel is no longer optional — it’s a necessity. With Mekari’s support, we want to ensure that every merchant, from small businesses to large brands, can grow faster and smarter.”
Founded in 2021, Desty has grown from Desty Page to include Desty Store, Desty Chat, Desty POS, and Desty Omni, enabling retailers and brands to manage both online and offline channels in one system.Through this acquisition, Mekari strengthens its position as Indonesia’s one-stop business solution provider, delivering a complete ecosystem spanning HR, finance, tax, and now omnichannel commerce — empowering businesses to achieve faster, more efficient, and sustainable growth.
