Our take
Digital experiences are vital to any modern business, but creating great ones can be challenging. Fastr, formerly known as Zmags, solves this problem by making it easier and faster to build engaging digital experiences at scale.
Fastr's flagship solution is Creator, a digital transformation platform that allows brands to create dynamic end-to-end experiences for their users. This has proven to increase customer loyalty and revenue, something which has proven to be a big draw for digital companies.
Fastr has consolidated its success and built out its products through a number of acquisitions. Fastr Frontend, an eCommerce-focused Frontend-as-a-service platform was released in early 2023 to keep online stores agile in their customer experience. As a result, Fastr is keeping agile as well, capitalising on the need for new solutions in the booming eCommerce sector.
