Through this initiative, CleverTap aspires to be a growth partner for more than 100,000 new businesses by the end of 2025.

Through this initiative, early stage startups can opt for a flexible plan with no minimum scale requirement, and can make use of the platform with as low as 5000 monthly active users. The platform is designed realizing the requirement of SMBs/startups. Additionally, customers will have the option to customize the platform with add-ons and will have the ability to only pay for the services they use.

Speaking about the initiative Anand Jain, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer, CleverTap said, “Every small business needs an ecosystem of stakeholders that are supportive and will help them get on their growth journeys. Be it small or big, startups can use all the help they can get. In our effort to bolster new businesses globally we are excited to launch CleverTap for Startups. Customer retention for consumer brands is one of the key components to building a successful business.

Job Platform Monster Transforms to an End-to-end Talent Management Platform; Reinvents Itself as foundit

Monster.com, leading global job search portal, today announced a significant milestone in its journey as it transforms to a full-fledged talent platform. Starting today, Monster will be known as ‘foundit’ with a new logo and vision, ushering in a new revolution in the job market.

Left to Right: Sekhar Garisa, CEO- foundit.in (previously Monster), Ajit Isaac, Non-Executive Chairman – Quess Corp and foundit.in, and investor Mohandas Pai unveil Monster’s new identity as ‘foundit’ in Asia Pacific and the Middle East

Synonymous with recruitment, Monster has been serving more than 70 million job seekers and 10,000 customers spread across 18 countries. As the Company now transforms itself to an end-to-end talent platform, it will offer comprehensive solutions to recruiters and highly personalised and contextual services to job seekers across Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The transition is in line with the company’s mission towards connecting the right talent with the right opportunities.

Speaking at the new brand unveiling event, Sekhar Garisa, CEO, foundit (previously Monster) said, “Technology is leading disruption across sectors and Talent Acquisition is no exception. The pandemic has fundamentally changed the way we work and the way we hire. We have been privileged to witness the talent acquisition landscape evolve over the last three decades, giving us an unparalleled depth of insights into recruitment. The platform of the future needs to cater to a highly dynamic job market, skill-based hiring & changing expectations from career. We are excited to unveil a new direction for Monster from simply facilitating job and candidate discovery to enabling significantly better talent management outcomes.”

Commenting on foundit’s role in realising its parent Quess Corp’s future-forward strategy, Mr. Ajit Isaac, Founder and Non-Executive Chairman of Quess Corp and foundit, added, “Over the last 15 years, Quess has always been known for its service led offerings that have won the confidence of its associates and customers alike. As an institution, steadfast on our commitment to formalise jobs, we have been focusing on building a product-led portfolio that can help democratise access to formal employment across White, Blue and Grey collar workers. We acquired Monster APAC & ME with a vision to transform white-collar talent acquisition. Over the last couple of years, organisations experienced everything from the Great Resignation and the Great Regret leading to mass hiring at an unprecedented pace. But now as the market settles, hiring is going to be a lot sharper, focused and skill based. Such precision can only be achieved through the combination of human ingenuity and technology, and this is what we have to offer our recruiters and job seekers through foundit.”

In 2018, Quess Corp acquired Monster Worldwide’s APAC & ME businesses as a strategic investment to strengthen its HR services portfolio, and has been operating in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, India, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

In 2021 Monster raised USD 18 Million in a funding round led by investors Akash Bhanshali of Volrado Venture Partners and Mohandas Pai of Meridian Investments to fuel its product led offerings and market expansion.

As part of its brand evolution, foundit is placing renewed focus on the users of the platform to bring forward the perfect career experience. By leveraging disruptive technology such as AI and ML for precision hiring to superior UI, the company aims to offer recruitment solutions unrivalled by any other player in the market. One of the key features that job seekers can look forward to is personalised job discovery. With foundit’s customised search results feature, candidates will receive results and recommendations that are curated to their educational background, employment experience & validated skills. Other features include community lead mentorship marketplace, skills validation through assessments, mobile first UI, personalised recommendations, and self enhancement tools like upskilling courses.

As the market leader in offering recruitment solutions to the best in business, foundit is transforming into a platform that reflects and adapts to the diversity of the SEA job market. For recruiters, it will offer the richest data set for each candidate along with insights & analytics that will make the process efficient as well as customized for each role requirements. The new interface and features allow for seamless and smart interaction between recruiters and candidates.

The partnership strengthens NusaTrip’s commitment to developing more vibrant travel services for all consumers, business partners, and stakeholders in Indonesia and throughout SEA.

Wellness, Health, and Medical Tourism have been one of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy’s strategies for industry revival since the pandemic of COVID-19 hits. According to Future Market Insights Global and Consulting Pvt. Ltd., the global Medical Tourism market is expected to be valued at US$ 5.2 Billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 30.5% between 2022 and 2032, totaling around US$ 75 Billion by 2032.

“We believe that our technology and services can serve a broader range of travel demands and purposes than just leisure. Our collaborations pave the way and build a roadmap in contributing to Indonesia’s wellness, health, and medical tourism industry,” says Johanes (Joe) Chang, NusaTrip’s CEO.

As NusaTrip’s partner of choice, the Indonesian health technology company, Periksa.id has been providing an extensive solution to digitize and improve the quality of healthcare facility services in Indonesia.

The Founder and CEO of Periksa.id, Sutan Imam Abu Hanifah explains, “Our new collaborative feature will help doctors and medical staff to easily check the airline’s schedule and seat availability for various arrangements, from purchasing tickets for patients in care who are in need of emergency travel or medical evacuation, assisting doctors on business trips such as regular meetings and attending conferences, to helping medical staffs in finding good deals for their short break or recharge.”

He adds that through the collaboration, Periksa.id users can now use and exchange their loyalty points for travel-related products and services on NusaTrip, and the company has received positive feedback since its launch.

The collaboration of NusaTrip and Periksa.id is one of many partnerships to come in gearing up towards the recovery of the travel industry in Indonesia and SEA by 2023/ 2024, following the OTA’s acquisition in July 2022 by Society Pass, a global digital commerce ecosystem and loyalty platform company operating in 5 major markets in SEA.

eDriving Integrates Greater Than’s EcoScore Into Their Digital Driver Safety Application, Mentor, To Help Fleets Achieve Sustainability Targets

eDriving(SM), a Solera company and leading global provider of digital driver risk management solutions, today announced a partnership with Greater Than (GREAT:ST), the global provider of technology that converts GPS data into powerful insights and driver scores. Through the collaboration, eDriving will integrate Greater Than’s EcoScore into a new feature in its award-winning digital driver safety app Mentor(SM). The new feature, to be named EcoDrive powered by Greater Than, enables eDriving to further support its global clients in achieving their sustainability goals.

Revolutionising driver risk management for over 25 years, eDriving is the trusted partner of choice for many of the world’s largest sales, service, and delivery fleets, supporting over 1.2 million drivers in 125 countries with award-winning digital driver risk management and safety solutions. eDriving’s smartphone-based Mentor programme identifies and remediates drivers’ risky habits behind the wheel with training, coaching, and gamification, achieving up to an 89% reduction in risky driver behaviour over 18 months.

The integration of Greater Than’s EcoScore is a strategic step for eDriving to elevate the sustainability benefits of Mentor for their customers on a global scale by contributing to carbon footprint reductions of up to 20%. In addition, the EcoScore facilitates more accurate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting with harmonised data on an organisation’s CO2 emissions and savings.

“Our customers are keen to take ownership of their climate impact and help their drivers minimise their CO2 emissions as well as safely return home to their loved ones at the end of each workday. This exciting new partnership between eDriving and Greater Than will help to accelerate that goal,” said Ed Dubens, CEO/Founder of eDriving. “Greater Than’s EcoScore is yet another example of how eDriving’s Mentor ecosystem brings together the best of the best into one world-class solution focused on driver risk management, safety and sustainability. FICO’s Safe Driving Score, Sfara’s Collision Detection, Bosch’s Emergency Response Services, and now Greater Than’s EcoScore continue to evolve and sustain Mentor’s unique value proposition supporting the world’s largest enterprise organisations.”

Mentor’s EcoDrive powered by Greater Than will incorporate Greater Than’s unique pattern-AI technology which conducts real-time driving analysis to calculate CO2 emissions per individual driver. With a uniform measure of environmental impact, EcoDrive powered by Greater Than enables fair, transparent, unbiased evaluation of individual drivers’ eco performance, regardless of vehicle type or global location. Drivers will be able to see carbon emissions reported in grams and percentages following each trip on their Mentor dashboard, making it the perfect sustainability analysis and reporting tool for organisations with mixed vehicle types.

“We are very excited that eDriving is introducing its new EcoDrive feature based on our EcoScore to its Mentor customers. Our partnership is another proof of the scope of use for our DriverDNA AI analysis. With EcoScore integrated into the Mentor app, eDriving customers will have greater control over their environmental impact and the necessary insights to reduce them, as well as valuable data of absolute CO2 emissions to facilitate comprehensive sustainability reporting, which looks set to be mandatory for many companies in coming years,” said Liselott Johansson, CEO, Greater Than.

EcoDrive powered by Greater Than will be available in eDriving’s flagship Mentor business solutions, as well as Mentor Defender, eDriving’s newest app for individuals and family members, distributed through insurers, auto safety membership organisations and driving schools.

Summary Points:

– Positive view of early stages of building SEA ecommerce company. Luxury store, Leflair provides luxury goods online. Additional businesses include online delivery companies Handycart and Pushkart (bought during 1Q22), as well as Gorilla Networks, a telecom MVNO (early June 2022). During 3Q22 the company acquired Thoughtful Media, a digital influencer, Mangan.ph, restaurant delivery, and NusaTrip, an online travel agency. SoPa will launch a loyalty points offering. Maxim believes Thoughtful Media can market SoPa’s other brands and the food delivery and luxury brand businesses can be expanded geographically. Maxim has a positive view on the SE Asian market due to increasing mobile and ecommerce penetration, younger populations, travel coming back, and the opportunity to consolidate smaller companies.

– Significant year on year revenue growth in 3Q 2022. 3Q22 revenue of $2.1M increased significantly from $84K in the prior year quarter. Digital marketing accounted for over half of the quarter’s revenue. Results were also held back as most of its businesses were very early stage. The company is in the process of restructuring several of its businesses to improve revenue and profitability.

– Healthy balance sheet and cash levels. The company ended September 2022 with $23M in unrestricted cash and no debt. Maxim projects current cash levels as sufficient to fund organic growth over the next two years.

– Challenging macro environment, yet positive on micro company business plan. Maxim factors in a more challenging macro environment impacting Society Pass’ end markets and notes that Sea Ltd (SE – NR), SE Asia’s largest internet company, has laid off 10% of staff in past 6 months and during its 3Q22 conference call projected lower than expected bookings for 2022. Maxim still expects SE Asia to be one of the fastest relative growth markets and anticipates SOPA to grow from spending on marketing, expansions, the launch of loyalty points in 4Q22, and contributions from all announced acquisitions. Maxim believes many of the businesses can be expanded geographically and benefit from greater capital.

– Strong revenue generation in 2023. Maxim projects revenue to increase from $0.5M in 2021, to $7.0M in 2022, and $40.1M in 2023. The increase is due to the significant expected contribution from acquisitions and organic growth. Maxim projects 2022 adjusted EBITDA loss to widen to ($20.7M), from a loss of ($4.9M) in 2021. The wider loss is due to one time costs related to acquisitions and higher public company expenses. For 2023, Maxim projects EBITDA loss estimate to ($11.0M).

– Compelling valuation. – SOPA trades at an EV/revenue multiple of 0.5x Maxim 2023 revenue estimate with over half of its market cap in cash. Maxim $5 price target is supported by our 10-year DCF analysis, which utilizes a 22% discount rate, 15x terminal multiple, and 3% terminal growth rate and equates to an EV/revenue multiple of 2.5x. The 2.5x multiple target is roughly inline with the peer group average of 2.4x. Our positive outlook is supported by the attractive SE Asian markets and opportunities to consolidate smaller companies. Maxim reiterates Buy rating.

Trintech Celebrates the 10-Year Anniversary of Cadency(R) by Trintech

“The Avengers(TM)” came together in 2012 and have defeated numerous villains over the last 10 years. Similarly, Trintech’s finance and technology experts also came together in 2012 to launch Cadency(R) – the world’s first end-to-end Record to Report SaaS solution transforming the way enterprise finance and accounting professionals around the world close their books. Since then, Trintech has been laser-focused on continuing to help the Superheroes of Finance and Accounting defeat manual work by standardizing, streamlining, and automating their financial close processes.

“The Office of the CFO has evolved considerably over the last ten years, with CFOs serving as key superheroes within their organizations. Today, we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Cadency and the role it has played in helping global organizations vanquish compliance headaches, rescue un-reconciled balance sheets, and bring peace to the world of transaction matching,” said Teresa Mackintosh, CEO of Trintech. “The last three years have asked even more from the Office of Finance, as the pandemic introduced new challenges and increased expectations to conquer. CFOs need to be more agile than ever before and have accurate and accessible data available at any given moment, making solutions like Cadency a must-have in their Superhero toolbelt.”

Over the last decade, Cadency(R) has helped organizations around the globe streamline and automate the entire Record to Report process in a standardized control framework. To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Cadency launch and the release of Cadency 10.3 this week, Trintech has put together a look at how the heroes of Marvel and the heroes of Finance and Accounting have tallied up some impressive stats over the last ten years:

– Following the successful roll-out of Cadency, Serco now has a centralized global solution that provides greater insight into the total number of reconciliations performed as well as their timeliness and accuracy. Today, Serco is running 5,000 balance sheet reconciliations through Cadency on a monthly basis. In addition, they are auto-reconciling 15,000 accounts which has saved their team a total of 500 hours per month. That’s enough time to watch the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe (3,831 minutes of film) over the course of eight months!

– Over 10,000 crew members are listed in the credits of Avengers: Infinity War(TM). That’s a huge number, but did you know that Boston Scientific Corporation currently has 29,000+ accounts housed within Cadency, with more than 4,400 of those accounts set to auto-reconcile each month? Additionally, BSC has experienced increased productivity and time savings, greater visibility and standardization across their balance sheet reconciliation and previously manual Journal Entry processes. The automation features inside Cadency have increased their efficiency, as well in areas such as SOX sampling and testing.

– As the Avengers showed us, the best teams need to grow. While they started as a group of six superheroes in 2012, it took over 30 heroes to take down Thanos in Avengers: Endgame(TM). LKQ Corporation, a leading global distributor of vehicle parts and accessories, implemented Trintech’s Cadency solution and successfully conducted 130 acquisitions from 2003-2019, growing 38 times their original size with no additional headcount increase to their F&A team. In addition, they were able to reduce their close to six and a half business days, reduce their cash specialist headcount by nearly 50%, and achieve nearly 90% auto-reconciliation.
