It employs more than 600 people and has over 2,000 suppliers selling their goods across more than 70 categories, including seven main categories: home furniture, storage, office, décor, kitchen, appliances, and sports. Homzmart launched operations in the Saudi market in early 2022, starting with an online presence. In March 2022, it acquired Berlin-based technology company MockUp Studio to digitize its interior design process, allowing customers to visualize their furniture in their homes before clicking through to buy.
