In response to the increase in demand, and after a recent influx of $5.2 million in funding, Dukkantek, the UAE’s first revolutionary store management platform, has officially announced its expansion into six additional markets; Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Turkey. Not only has the funding facilitated Dukkantek’s plans to expand efficiently, but it further assisted the improvement of its technology stack, expanded the platform’s reach, and served its ever-growing merchant base.

Co-Founder of Dukkantek, Ali Al Sayegh, comments on the reasoning behind the expansion, “The decision to expand as quickly as we did was based on two main aspects; we had identified traditional and community-based merchants operating in these markets that were underserviced and had reached out to them offering our solution and genuine support. We had also received several requests from a variety of merchants seeking our solution directly from the UAE. We then decided to respond to the inbound interest received, and swiftly set up in the six countries to service them efficiently and effectively. We have already sold our solution to over 1,000 merchants across these new markets.”

Ali Al Sayegh further comments, “Our fast expansion in the broader GCC market is a testament to the strength of our team and product. We are now democratizing digital commerce across the GCC and will be doing it on a global scale in a few years. Dukkantek is striving for a bright future, and this expansion is only the beginning, with further market entry plans in development. The platform will continue to support small and medium merchants, ensuring that these businesses are continuously provided with the opportunity to operate in an ever-evolving world.”
