Bridging the gap between in-store retail & e-commerce

Inspired by "warung," the Malay word for a small family-owned business, we at Waroong Inc. aim to connect such shops throughout the world to local customers.
Whether it's the bodega around the corner in New York City or a mudi dokan in Dhaka, we will enable every shop to be discovered by customers in the expanding digital economy.
