About

With our smartphones getting smarter, the world is now one big mobile marketplace, and we are free to wheel our cart to anywhere we like. What I find fascinating is how the evolution of mobile tech is changing consumer behavior and vice versa, leading to a complete transformation of the e-commerce industry. At Plobal Apps, a SaaS company, we are an AI powered mobile commerce platform, that empowers fast growing brands to scale, by building native apps for their business. In under 5 minutes, and with zero coding. With native iOS and android mobile apps, we boost their conversion rates by up to 3x and focus not just on installs but increased revenues through our data driven approach. All of this, along with smart analytics and a dedicated customer success team, makes us the highest rated mobile app platform on the Shopify app store, year after year. The dream is to build the best app commerce platform in the world and with every new entrepreneur we onboard at Plobal Apps, we are one step closer to fulfilling dreams - theirs and ours. Learning from their stories, staying curious about our consumers and leveraging digitization helps us stay one step ahead of the game. As more and more people become mobile-first consumers, I am excited about what the future holds in store for us at Plobal, and for our community. It has been a whirlwind journey and we wouldn’t have it any other way! If you’d like to know more about m-commerce, the shopify partner ecosystem, or want to build a native app for your business, I’d be happy to connect.
