Descriptiontext

Zmags Corp, doing business as Fastr, is a Boston-based digital experience platform company serving enterprise and mid-market commerce teams. Founded in 2006, the company originated as a digital publishing tool (Publicator) and repositioned itself as an AI-native Digital Experience Platform (DXP) following the 2022 acquisition of e-commerce agency Be A Part Of and a 2023 corporate rebrand to Fastr. The platform combines a no-code visual designer, AI-driven conversion rate optimization (Fastr Optimize), AI-native experience design and personalization (Fastr Frontend), interactive digital catalog creation (Fastr Publications), enterprise checkout (Fastr Payments), and subscription management (Fastr Subscriptions), with AI Co-Pilots embedded across the workflow.

The underlying technology stack includes a frontend visual designer, Figma import, immersive 3D rendering, accessibility compliance automation, and SEO/GEO/AEO optimization. The platform supports use cases spanning homepages, PLPs, PDPs, lookbooks, quizzes, content hubs, and seasonal campaigns, targeting e-commerce brands and enterprise commerce teams that need to launch and personalize digital experiences without developer involvement. Integration with e-commerce platforms, enterprise data systems, and Figma broadens the addressable workflow from design through deployment.

Revenue is generated primarily through SaaS subscriptions on the Fastr Workspace and its modular add-ons, supplemented by a substantial professional services arm covering design, development, replatforming, performance optimization, data management, and training. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales for larger accounts (with custom pricing on annual contracts) and self-serve product logins (Fastr Workspace, Fastr Frontend, Publicator) for mid-market. The company reported $9.1M ARR and an 83-person team as of 2025, and is backed by Akmazo Capital.
