How Dashmesh, top food supplier adapts with web development solutions? - Verz Design


In Singapore, we are blessed to have a vibrant and thriving multicultural food scene. What sustains our ever-growing demand for good and inexpensive food is our ability to access high-quality and authentic ingredients at competitive prices. Dashmesh is an award-winning food distributor of non-perishable South Asian food products in Singapore and beyond. They have been offering high-quality products at the most affordable prices since 1985. This homegrown SME has consistently achieved the SME 500/1000 Awards and 2021 was no exception. This year, in the spirit of embracing web development solutions to stay ahead of the curve, Dashmesh capitalised on the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) and embarked on their ecommerce web development with Verz Design. 

We (virtually) sat down with Dashmesh to find out more about what led them to engage an eCommerce web designer, what has their experience been like and how has their new, professionally designed eCommerce website helped their business. 

1. Why did Dashmesh decide to embark on web development?

Why Dashmesh decide to go digital?

We wanted to tap into online channels to reach out to our business partners. By updating our website, we are better able to showcase our wide array of items and more importantly provide visitors with a better understanding of our company, services and team. The site also serves as a perfect medium to synchronize our social media platforms.

Since going digital, we have successfully become more visible to potential partners. New customers can now discover our products via this online channel, without which they would not have known about us. 

The newly designed eCommerce website also serves as the perfect platform to showcase our team, awards and products in an organized manner. Also, having an online presence allows overseas suppliers and customers to connect with us more effectively.
