Created by Kazakhtelecom JSC, it is the first B2B site in the country and enables small- and medium-sized businesses to access various online tools to help grow their business quickly and easily. Specifically, the platform helps businesses connect with consumers while also simplifying sales\/payment processes. Moreover, it allows businesses to select which services of the platform is useful for them and only pay for those services (as opposed to a blanket payment that includes services a business may never use).
