With the support of Inventus Capital Partners and SV Quad, Mercately will continue to bring its capacity to democratize access to automation and customer management tools. By offering technology solutions that are accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises, it enables them to compete in the digital world more fairly.

This customer-centric, accessibility-focused approach is what sets Mercately apart from other companies in the industry. This investment marks an important milestone for both Mercately and the online trade.
