Why Alana
Alana: Changing the When, Where and How of Shopping
Alana was conceived out of a common frustration we have all experienced: you see something you want to buy, you open your browser and start searching – sometimes it’s easy to find what you’re looking for, but often times, you get:
- Distracted by a competitor search ad or sucked into the internet vortex, completely straying from your original intent (“What was I doing again?”)
- Frustrated as your search produces unwanted results, and you sigh and give up
- Impatient because the process to purchase took much, much longer than necessary and now all you can think of is all that wasted time you could have been more productive with.
Sound Familiar?
Alana Changes All That
After experiencing one or all of the above time and time again, our (Alana) founder, Erick Sasaki, used his 25+ years of experience in the telecom industry to create Alana – an incredibly easy, super-fast, ultra-safe way to purchase anything, anywhere, anytime. Once a product is Alana Enbabled, someone is able to go from “want” to “buy” in less than 20 seconds.
At Alana, we streamline your shopping experience, connecting you directly to your preferred products from the brand or its authorized retailer.

- You choose the products you want us to enable.
- Customers use our Alana Enabled app or Marketplace to click “buy” and proceed to your ecommerce site
