A Impact

What A Impact does

A Impact (에이임팩트 주식회사) is a South Korean B2B SaaS company founded in 2018 that operates Arrange (어레인지), a mobile-first platform automating direct-transaction order processing for Korean agricultural and direct-to-consumer sales businesses. The platform's core technology applies natural language processing to parse unstructured order messages arriving across heterogeneous channels — phone, KakaoTalk, SMS, and other text-based inputs — and convert them into structured orders in approximately 10 seconds; this method is protected by Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2287410. Beyond parsing, Arrange combines order management, simplified customer-service response, and embedded payment form delivery on a single screen so that SMB sellers can move from inbound message to completed payment without leaving the workflow.

The company distributes Arrange as a self-serve Android app on the Google Play Store (io.aimpact.arrange), targeting Korean agricultural producers and direct-sales businesses that historically relied on manual order taking across fragmented channels. As of August 15, 2022, the platform had onboarded 6,150 registered businesses listing 22,287 products and had facilitated ₩28.586 billion in cumulative transaction volume. A Impact monetizes via transaction processing fees on the platform, though specific pricing is not publicly disclosed.

A Impact has progressed through typical Korean startup development infrastructure: it was selected into Spark Labs Batch 13 (2019), raised seed funding from Spark Labs Partners and Mirae Asset Venture Investment (2019), a pre-Series A from Binggrae and Sopung Ventures (2020), and progressed toward Series A evidenced by its 2021 A-Ventures designation from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Strategic partners include NH Nonghyup Bank, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund, and Seoul Business Agency, while the company's headquarters are in the Gangnam-gu district of Seoul with representative director Yoon Sung-jin (윤성진).

Direct peers

• Channel.io: Korean SaaS for chat-based customer service and order conversations for SMBs. Directly comparable to Arrange in solving the problem of turning unstructured chat/messenger order messages into structured transactions for Korean merchants.
• MakeShop: Korean hosted e-commerce platform targeting SMB and direct-sales merchants with order, payment, and customer service tooling. Comparable as it targets the same Korean D2C merchant workflows A Impact automates.
• ChannelTalk: Korean chat-based customer engagement and order platform for SMBs. Comparable as it directly competes with Arrange in turning KakaoTalk and chat-based customer conversations into structured orders and payments for Korean merchants.

Broad incumbents

• Cafe24: Leading Korean SMB e-commerce platform providing storefronts, order management, and payments. Comparable as it serves the same Korean SMB merchant base and competes for the same direct-sales commerce workflow, though with a broader, established platform.
• Naver Smart Store: Naver's SMB e-commerce marketplace and merchant tooling. Comparable as it is the dominant Korean direct-sales channel for SMBs, embedding order and customer service workflows that overlap with Arrange's value proposition.
• Kakao Commerce: Commerce arm of Kakao focused on chat-based and SMB commerce inside KakaoTalk. Comparable due to overlap with Arrange's KakaoTalk-centric order processing model and shared target merchant segment.
• Shopify: Global SMB commerce platform with order management, payments, and increasingly chat-based selling. Comparable in product category (D2C order and merchant workflow automation) though A Impact is vertical and channel specialized for Korean chat commerce.

Regional players

• Market Kurly: Korean D2C grocery platform buying directly from producers. Comparable because it operates a producer-to-consumer direct transaction model in food/agriculture, the same vertical A Impact serves, though Kurly is a consumer marketplace rather than merchant tooling.

Others

• Sendbird: Korean-founded conversational AI and chat API platform. Comparable as an infrastructure layer that powers chat-based order and customer interactions, the same space Arrange operates in at the application layer for Korean merchants.
• Toss: Korean super-app with payments, merchant acquiring, and SMB commerce tools. Comparable as an ecosystem participant whose payment and merchant stack could either integrate with or compete against Arrange's simplified-payment feature.
