AkaBot, a Vietnam-based robotic process automation (RPA) solutions provider, has officially introduced the strategy to extend its services and solutions in the Malaysia market.
The company said in a statement on Thursday that it will offer Malaysian businesses in finance, banking, retail, and manufacturing a range of holistic solutions for automation and digitization, enhancing overall productivity and cost savings.
According to the statement, Malaysia is witnessing a surge in the demand for digitalization in response to ongoing corporate investments.
Projections for the 2023 digital economy in Malaysia indicate a significant contribution of 24.4 percent to the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), with expectations of a further increase to 25.5 percent in the subsequent year.
“Malaysia stands out as a compelling market for akaBot, thanks to its diverse and rapidly expanding economy coupled with a commendable level of economic stability,” said Ginny Truc To, Country Manager of akaBot.
“Despite witnessing rapid growth, it’s noteworthy that only 30 per cent of business establishments have embraced digital technology, potentially impeding further market expansion,
“We aim to address and resolve these challenges in Malaysia by offering automated operations that promise heightened productivity, enhanced reliability, improved performance, and reduced operating costs,” she added.
According to the statement, the level of digitalization in businesses is still relatively low compared to developed markets.
It said the high cost and lack of localization in the current market offerings have been significant barriers to growth.
“We anticipate a strong demand for our solution in Malaysia, driven by the country’s considerable potential,” said akaBot Chief Executive Officer Giap Bui.
“We see significant growth opportunities here. The fact that there are over 1.15 million SMEs in Malaysia emphasizes the clear need for a solution like akaBot,
“We look forward to working with our new and future customers to contribute to the development of Malaysia’s digital economy,” he added.
