Vouch Harnesses AI to Boost Hotel Efficiency and Revenue


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 October 2024 – Vouch, the award-winning hotel operations management solutions provider, today announced the expansion of its product suite with innovative AI-powered features. These enhancements, designed to significantly boost operational efficiency and drive revenue growth for hotels, mark a significant step forward for the hospitality industry.

Vouch - AI for Hospitality
Vouch – AI for Hospitality

Fastest to Deploy, Easiest to Use
AI Rapid Set Up

As part of the expansion, Vouch’s Guest Experience Platform now boasts a new rapid one-click setup, reducing platform development time from weeks to hours as AI streamlines the process by auto-populating content, eliminating the need for manual configuration.

Multi-Language AI Support

Another key enhancement is the Guest Experience Platform’s multi-language AI support, which eliminates language barriers by accurately translating requests and responses in real-time. Guests can now submit requests, such as dietary preferences or requirements, in any language, while hotel staff respond seamlessly in their own – guaranteeing guest needs are fully understood and met.

AI-Powered Revenue Generation

In addition to streamlining operations, Vouch’s AI upselling tool helps hoteliers maximise revenue potential by taking the guesswork out of upselling. By analysing guest behaviour, Vouch AI anticipates what guests want and recommends high-performing room service pairings, upgrades, and add-ons. It even optimises item names and descriptions to boost conversions.

Maximising Productivity with AI Automation

Beyond guest interactions, Vouch has also integrated AI into its backend task management system, enabling hotels to automate routine tasks and streamline workflows for greater efficiency. From automating housekeeping tasks to managing maintenance requests, hotels can now enhance operational efficiency, freeing up staff to focus on delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Investor Confidence and Growth

To accelerate its AI development, Vouch recently closed a funding round of US$2.5 million.

“Businesses today seek both efficiency and adaptability, and Vouch’s AI-driven solutions deliver on both fronts. Their strategic focus on rapid deployment and minimising disruption addresses a key pain point in the hotel industry. We believe this unique approach positions Vouch as a market leader by enabling hotels to seamlessly adopt innovation, without the usual barriers of managing complex change,” said Tiang Lim Foo, Partner at Forge Ventures.

“We understand that dealing with complicated tech implementations can significantly drain a hotel’s time and resources. That’s why we designed our solutions to be the fastest to deploy and the easiest to use in the market.” said Joseph Ling, Founder & CEO of Vouch. “As exciting as AI is, our focus has always been on delivering tangible results, not just showcasing advanced technology but harnessing it to create meaningful improvements for our clients.”

To celebrate this milestone, Vouch is offering a free trial of its AI-powered solutions throughout October. Contact Vouch for more information.

During “The Third Global Digital Trade Expo”, the “2024 Global Digital Trade Industry Enterprise 100” list was announced. XTransfer was selected for its technological innovation and leadership in B2B cross-border financial and risk control services. The company received the award on stage along with nine other outstanding enterprises, including Meridian Capital and LinkedIn. The award was presented by Mr. Ma Weiguang, Chairman of Hangzhou CPPCC, and Mr. Qian Houlin, Director of Forbes China Research Institute.

The Global Digital Trade Expo is co-hosted by the People’s Government of Zhejiang Province and the Ministry of Commerce, China. Co-organised by the Hangzhou Municipal People’s Government, the Department of Commerce of Zhejiang Province, and the Trade Development Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, China. This expo is China’s only national, international, and professional trade show focusing on digital trade. XTransfer has been selected on the list, reflecting recognition of its contribution to the field of global trade digitisation and affirming the company’s potential for future development.

During the event, Leon Deng, Co-Founder and co-CGO of XTransfer, was invited to participate in the Forbes China Digital Trade Dialogue. He took part in the roundtable forum on “Global Digital Trade and Cross-border Operational Innovation,” where he discussed the new trend of digital trade development with leaders from companies like LinkedIn and UniUni.

The digitisation of global trade is an important trend in the current development of international trade. By using the internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and other technological means, trade efficiency can be improved, costs can be reduced, transparency can be enhanced, and trade facilitation can be promoted. Optimising cross-border settlement is an extremely important step in promoting trade facilitation. For SMEs, the efficiency of cross-border trade capital flow may directly affect the survival of the enterprises. XTransfer utilises AI, big data technology, and more to connect large financial institutions and SMEs in China and abroad, greatly improving the efficiency of cross-border trade capital flow.

Leon pointed out, “With the development of technology, the digital transformation of the whole chain of cross-border trade is an inevitable trend. In recent years, there has been a rise in eco-service providers for cross-border trade, encompassing logistics and marketing. These providers will leverage new technologies to offer more diverse and localised products and services to foreign trade enterprises. XTransfer aims to collaborate with these ecosystem service providers with an open and mutually beneficial approach. This collaboration will help foreign trade enterprises address cross-border settlement issues, enhance transaction efficiency, and ensure security and compliance by offering advanced cross-border payment and financial solutions.”

XTransfer focuses on building a one-stop B2B foreign trade finance platform, providing integrated solutions for foreign trade payment collection, multi-currency cash management, financing, and risk control services. Utilising advanced AI and big data technologies, XTransfer has built a data-driven, automated, Internet-enabled, and intelligent anti-money laundering risk control infrastructure centred on SMEs. Through cooperation with renowned multinational banks and financial institutions, XTransfer enables SMEs to enjoy cross-border financial services at the same level as those provided to large multinational companies.

ASEAN Foundation supported by Google.org to Launch USD 5M AI Literacy Programme to Train Millions in ASEAN


JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 October 2024 – To strengthen AI literacy across ASEAN, the ASEAN Foundation, with support from Google.org, officially launched the AI Ready ASEAN initiative today at the AI Opportunity Southeast Asia Forum.

Supported by a USD 5 million cash grant from Google.org, the ASEAN Foundation will implement AI Ready ASEAN over the next 2.5 years, aiming to equip 5.5 million ASEAN citizens with essential AI skills. The programme’s goal will enhance AI literacy in all ten ASEAN Member States through a combination of train-the-trainer approach, creation of a regional AI resource hub with localised content tailored to youth, teachers, parents, and research on AI literacy and ethics, and awareness raising campaigns.

Through this programme, the ASEAN Foundation aims to train 2,000 master trainers, who will, in turn, deliver in-depth AI literacy training to over 800,000 end-beneficiaries in local communities. To ensure the training addresses the specific needs of impacted communities, the ASEAN Foundation will work with local partners across the region to tailor the training curriculum for each country’s unique context.

“At the ASEAN Foundation, we are thrilled to launch the AI Ready ASEAN initiative with support from Google.org, which will empower millions of individuals across the region with the knowledge and skills to thrive in the digital age,” said Dr. Piti Srisangnam, Executive Director of ASEAN Foundation. “Enhancing AI literacy in ASEAN is not just about preparing our youth, educators, and communities for the future of work—it’s about ensuring that every citizen has the tools to navigate and shape the rapidly evolving technological landscape. By investing in AI education, we are building a stronger, more resilient ASEAN that can harness the power of innovation for sustainable growth and development,” he concluded.

The AI Ready ASEAN will also contribute to achieving the goal of the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement by equipping millions with AI skills to drive the region’s digital transformation. It fosters local expertise to help build an inclusive and sustainable digital economy. At the same time, the initiative will also follow the ASEAN Guide on AI Governance and Ethics, ensuring AI is adopted responsibly, with a focus on transparency, fairness, and inclusivity.

The AI Ready ASEAN builds on the success of the previous digital empowerment initiative, ASEAN Digital Literacy Programme, that ran from 2021 to early 2024. Supported with a USD 1.5 million grant from Google.org, the programme addressed misinformation in ASEAN by facilitating access to media and information literacy materials for youth, teachers, parents, and the elderly. Commenting on why Google.org chose to support the ASEAN Foundation again, Marija Ralic, Lead for Google.org, APAC shared, “Our $5M grant support to ASEAN Foundation’s AI Ready ASEAN initiative underscores our commitment to help ensure everyone, especially people in marginalised communities, can access the digital, technical and AI skills to pursue opportunities in the digital economy. Building on the success of our previous support in 2021, through which the ASEAN Foundation has helped hundreds and thousands of individuals across ASEAN to develop essential digital skills, we are excited to continue this journey supporting the ASEAN Foundation to bridge the digital divide and ensure that everyone can benefit from the transformative power of AI.”

H.E. Dr. Kao Kim Hourn, Secretary-General of ASEAN, welcomed the AI Ready ASEAN initiative to uplift the AI literacy baseline and empower the region’s digital literacy and create opportunities for ASEAN youth to thrive in the digital age. He remarked, “I commend the ASEAN Foundation and Google.org for spearheading this initiative and for their commitment to advancing digital skills and literacy in our region…I strongly encourage the ASEAN Member States to seize this opportunity as we transform the region into a robust and resilient digital economy, guided by the ASEAN Community Vision 2045.”

The AI Opportunity Southeast Asia Forum was co-organised by the ASEAN Foundation and Google, with the goal of connecting regional stakeholders to drive discussions and develop recommendations for AI policies and regulations suited for ASEAN adoption. The forum was opened by remarks from Dr. Piti Srisangnam, Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google, and H.E. Dr. Kao Kim Hourn, Secretary-General of ASEAN.

The forum hosted two expert panels that brought together leaders from fields such as economics, public policy, health, agriculture, and STEM in ASEAN. The first panel explored the prospects and impacts of AI in Southeast Asia, while the second panel focused on adoption opportunities within the region. Both discussions underscored the potential of AI to drive responsible and sustainable innovation across sectors, including the economy, education, health, and agriculture.

A key highlight of the forum was the launch of the AI Ready ASEAN initiative and a new grant support from Google.org to EduFarmers, announced by Ruth Porat. The event also featured an AI booth showcasing Google and Google.org’s grantees’ contributions to digital empowerment in ASEAN.

About ASEAN Foundation

Three decades after ASEAN was established, ASEAN leaders recognised that: there remained inadequate shared prosperity, ASEAN awareness and contact among people of ASEAN. It was of this concern that ASEAN leaders established ASEAN Foundation during ASEAN’s 30th Anniversary Commemorative Summit in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia on 15 December 1997. ASEAN Foundation is an organisation from and for the people of ASEAN. The Foundation exists because of one vision: to build a cohesive and prosperous ASEAN Community. As an ASEAN’s body, the Foundation is tasked to support ASEAN mainly in promoting awareness, identity, interaction and development of the people of ASEAN.
