The Reason Behind Toko

COVID-19 has resulted in a huge setback in the world economy – at least the majority of countries, if not all. Small, medium, or large –  be it any – businesses all over the globe have experienced losses like never before, with people losing years of hard work in a blink of an eye.

Lockdowns imposed by the governments from March last year forced people to stay inside their homes. People getting fired, declining purchasing power, and the lack of customers have significantly minimized earnings or even brought people to a halt.

There was an utter need for companies and small businesses to step into the world of online selling, get orders online, and deliver them from their houses. 

This is how the want of digital presence turned into a need and the dilemma led to the advent of the Toko app.

 

About Toko

All a business person needs to do is install the app, set up their business, which takes less than 2 minutes, and upload beautiful pictures of their products. The sales link to their store can be easily shared with customers via WhatsApp and other social media channels for direct orders.
