Marvelsoft is a dynamic company specializing in the installation, customization, and technical support maintenance of fully-integrated POS systems, Accounting & Payroll Software for SMEs. Digital Transformation with Cloud-Based Point-Of-Sale (POS) Systems
The epidemic has completely changed the lives of everyone, and online shopping is quickly becoming the norm, accelerating the digital transform
ation of enterprises. In light of this development, the Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) has set up a 50% matching grant of up to RM5,000 to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for the digital adoption costs, including the purchase of POS and accounting systems. Bhd (an authorised Technology Solution Provider under SME Business Digitalisation Grant) believes this is the best time for SMEs to transform their businesses with comprehensive digital solutions such as a cloud-based POS system to resolve business management challenges. Built on a cloud platform, digital POS system offers the advantage of accessibility from any location at any time and automates data management processes, which it then presents to users in an intuitive and easy-to-understand graphical interface that simplifies the management of sales, inventory, food cost management, or customer store database. And, as company operations scale up, the system fails to meet the new demand for increased management capacity. As Marvelsoft founder Alan Yong explains: “Marvelsoft’s cloud-based POS system simplifies processes, eliminates manual operation, and fully automates data synchronization. In addition to point-of-sale, the system includes accounting and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to aid businesses in achieving effective transactions and operations management. Its cloud functionality also improves how data is stored and handled, with storage space being more secure and readily available."
“One of our customers who owns a chain of 300 restaurants across the country uses the Zeoniq POS system to consolidate management. Through an app on his mobile, he has access to real-time information on his entire restaurant operation anywhere and anytime, and can examine customer’s preferences and the turn-over rates of individual items. This allows him to adjust sales strategies accordingly and develop his restaurant’s competitive edge." Since its establishment in 2003, Marvelsoft has been committed to promoting the digitalisation of local SMEs. The founding of Marvelsoft comes after Alan Yong completed a software development project as an outsourced software engineer for a Japanese company. Starting out as a company that provides expertise to customise POS software systems, the company had difficulty balancing sales and order fulfilments to scale up the business; which eventually, brought to the pivot decision to focus on providing technical service for off-the-shelf softwares. Today, Marvelsoft is the main distributor of the popular Zeoniq platform (a locally developed software), IRS, Autocount and Feedme systems. The company serves the customer bases of Malaysia, Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and other countries in the region. "We are not a POS system seller. We are business partners who provide digital solutions." The New Digital Norm
Under the new digital norm brought about by the epidemic, good business tools are important for companies to succeed in today’s business environment. Food and beverage (F&B) and retail industries must take advantage of an up-to-date POS system to increase productivity while reducing workloads. In a conventional system, transactions received from take-out or e-commerce platforms had to be manually re-entered into the POS system to tally with the inventory count. This is a time-consuming and laborious process - and a sudden surge in orders can easily overwhelm the system. "Marvelsoft is seamlessly connecting food delivery platforms, such as GrabFood and Foodpanda, as well as e-commerce platforms like Shopee and Lazada so that their order platforms and POS systems can auto-reconcile. When a new order is made, the merchant's POS system will automatically update its order records. And by connecting online channels and physical store sales data, our POS system greatly improves efficiency and accuracy, while giving our clients a highly convenient solution." When asked about his plans for the company’s future, Alan Yong firmly stated: "I want to bring Malaysian software to other Southeast Asian countries and become a leading system service provider in the region”.
云端POS 系统协助企业数码化转型
疫情彻底改变所有人的生活,网购、线上订餐、买菜等迅速成为新常态,促成企业数码化转型加速。马来西亚数码经济机构(MDEC)宣布提供符合资格的中小型企业50%数码化津贴,总额高达RM5000,适用于数码化领域包括购买POS系统 和会计系统。
作为政府认可的津贴供应商之一,Marvelsoft认为现在是中小型企业转型好时机,许多管理问题都需要更精确的系统去解决,而云端POS系统正是所有管理问题最好的解决方案。
云端POS系统不受时间与地点的控制,随时随地掌握营运状况,无论是店里的销售额、库存数量、食品成本管理、顾客数据库,都能即时分析成资讯图表方便查看。
由于传统POS系统大部分依赖人工操作,作业效率低又容易出现人为疏忽。造成企业逐渐壮大时,无法实现所有分店统一管理。
Marvelsoft创办人杨子超谈道:“所以Marvelsoft 的云端POS系统简化了所有程序,免除人工操作,实现全自动化数据同步。同时,它也具备多种功能,如销售点(POS)系统、会计系统和客户关系管理(CRM)系统。协助企业高效管理业务和营运管理,并且数据存储在云端空间更加安全有保障。”
“我们其中一个客户在全国拥有300间连锁餐厅,采用Zeoniq POS系统进行统一管理。只需打开手机应用程序,随时随地获取所有餐厅的最新资讯。他甚至了解顾客的喜好,菜单上哪个餐点比较畅销,从而调整销售策略,提升餐厅竞争力。”
自2003年创立以来,Marvelsoft致力推动本地中小型企业迈向数码化。创办人杨子超原是一名软件程序员,在完成一家日本企业的编程项目后,最终选择留在本地发展事业。起初公司销售的是自家开发的POS软件,由于无法兼顾销售和软件设计,公司转型提供POS系统技术服务为主,现为本地著名软件Zeoniq、IRS、Autocount 和 Feedme系统的主要经销商。Marvelsoft所服务的客户群遍及全马、柬埔寨、菲律宾、泰国、新加坡等区域国家。
“我们不是销售冷冰冰的POS系统软件,反之我们是提供科技服务的商业伙伴。”
疫情下的数码化新常态
工欲善其事,必先利其器,餐饮业和零售业还必须善用与时并进的POS 系统才能事半功倍。过去接到外卖或电商平台的订单时,所售出的餐点或商品都需要人工重新输入POS系统,以便计算库存。其实对商家而言这是一个费时费力的步骤。尤其订单激增时候,无疑是增加他们的工作量。
“Marvelsoft已经无缝对接各大外卖平台,例如GrabFood和Foodpanda等,以及各大电商平台Shopee 和Lazada,让平台的订单系统和POS系统互通。只要平台增加新订单,商家的POS系统也会自动更新其订单和做记录。因此,我们的POS系统够将线上渠道和实体店销售数据连接起来,在效率和准确性方面都有很大提升,给我们的客户提供最大的便利”
当谈到公司未来展望,对此他坚定的说“我想要把马来西亚的软件带到其他东南亚国家,成为区域内领先的系统服务提供商。”
