Meete launched a program to support small and medium shops in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh

Leave a comment
  • The non-profit program aims to join hands with the Government to support 2,000 stores to overcome difficulties by granting free services to both ensure macroeconomic stability and employment for workers.
  • This program will provide a (zero fee) solution that allows stores to create short-term cash flows during the social distancing period because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, May 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Meete mobile application – Nguyen Group Joint Stock Company officially announced on April 22, 2020 that the company will start the program to support 2,000 small and medium-sized merchants in the food / drink / fashion / beauty / tourism industries in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh under two forms: (1) free service grants with a total value of VND 3 billion and (2) – zero fee gift voucher sales targeted at VND 7.2 billion for merchants on Meete website.

Meete launched a program to support small and medium shops in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh
Meete launched a program to support small and medium shops in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh

Based on studies from National Economics University in Vietnam, so far on April 1st, 2020, 34,7% of businesses in Vietnam have been closed. Most of them, which are of low to medium scale, have not been able to access affordable bank’s interest rate policy due to lacking financial reports and other terms, as a result many merchants have to exit or shut down their business entirely. Hence, this program was initialized with the proactive attitude of the Vietnamese startup community to share the responsibilities of the government in balancing macroeconomic situations. This program is expected to help sustain merchant’s business in tough times by providing short term cash flow via gift vouchers sales and ensure jobs availability to decrease the Government support expenditure.

The program includes 2 methods, in detail:

The first one encourages merchants by granting free services to reduce operation costs at the re-opening period. These packages are the result of a corporation between service providing units such as wifi marketing, delivery, reservation, advertisement, product marketing, CRM, … , which is 10 – 30 million VND of value each one. Merchants can actively search for detailed information on Meete website. Currently, there are more than 30 partners supporting for the program, such as Địa Điểm Ăn Uống, Movad, VNwifi, Ahamove, … up to total of 1 billion VND out of expected goal of 3 billion VND. 

Merchant responds positively with these services due to its practicality and assurance of no extra fee. “Losing 30-50% total revenue compared to months before the quarantine period is the current situation of Otoké Chicken and Chewy Junior bakery. Our prior solution would be cutting off labor and reducing 40% salary, pushing delivery, setting up a discount program. The problem of every project is the limited budget, hence, this support service package will minimize the cost of delivery, advertisement, … especially, we aim to launch a cash gift voucher program, so that if we earn customer’s support, revenue in the short-term would increase without exceeding the budget and more employees would be cut off for the next 3 months.” said Mai Trường Giang – CEO TG FOOD.

Second method involves providing short-term operating cash flow solutions during the temporary quarantine period so that merchants could spend more on employment, rentals, …etc through customers purchasing in advance gift vouchers on Meete that could be used after the quarantine. These gift vouchers are to be purchased at a discount and can be used as e-gifts. Moreover, customers will receive cash back sponsored by Meete’s payment partner Zalo Pay up to 1 million VND depending on the purchase value. It is targeted that the total revenue will be up to 7.2 billion VND for merchants participating (zero fee on participating merchants). Currently, there are more than 100 merchants registered for gift voucher sales, and more than 30 organizations and communities join in and spread the program’s message.

“More and more Facebook & Zalo groups created by CEOs and manager stores to transfer and pass their businesses and even to express their fear of bankruptcy. ZaloPay decides to support Meete since they understand this program’s practicality, and is willing to shoulder the pressure of low-to-medium merchants. We believe that by standing together, we can come through this tough quarantine time.” said Ms Trang – Zalo Pay Marketing representative.

Let’s say a low-to-medium merchant owns 25 staffs, 2,000 merchants supported will result in saving 50,000 jobs. This will make a huge impact on the government’s public expenditure, while a lot of macroeconomy support projects remain in the planning stage.

Within the purpose of supporting the society through the severe effects of COVID-19, consumers and merchants can donate to the Ministry of Health’s Fighting COVID-19 fund via Meete website. Meete expects to raise 60 million VND funding for the next 2 months. 

Mr. Nguyễn Cảnh Dương – Nguyen Group CEO sharing “Individual and companies have been fighting with difficulties never happened with precedents. The business community in Vietnam is mostly of low-to-medium scale, which easily being affected by external threats, and Meete has stepped up with this zero-fee program to support and encourage merchants with managing cashflow solutions in short-term. By that, we hope to strengthen the relationship between Customer and Business, Business and Business, all together we will go through tough times and activate the spirit of Viet Nam startup, and associate with the government to settle the current situation.”

Meete Introduction:

Meete is a Marketing & Sales solution for local merchants, developed on both mobile application and website platforms, and has presence in HCM city and Hanoi. Meete supports merchants in broadening and maximizing touchpoints with the customer niches by means of advanced technical tools such as distributing discount vouchers to customers, managing reservations, CRM (Customer Relationship Management), food delivery and many more media services.

CyCraft Accelerates Growth in Japan by Allying with SecureBrain (a Hitachi Systems subsidiary) and Launching AI Security Services

Leave a comment

TAIPEI, May 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — On Cycraft Japan’s first anniversary, it announces SecureBrain (Headquarters: Chiyoda, Tokyo, President and CEO: Kenichi Aoyama) has become an authorized CyCraft Japan partner, and will now offer CyCraft AIR in Japan to achieve a new height in AI-driven cyber protection.

Hackers have grown far stealthier and potent than ever before, making it virtually impossible to completely prevent intrusions. Organizations, now adopting an “assumed breach” mindset, deploy security tools accordingly. Among them, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is used to strengthen the depth of endpoint defense, and AI is used to increase the speed of information security analysis and operations. CyCraft AIR combines these two technologies to make the most effective solution to combat modern cyber threats.

Before the advent of CyCraft AIR, EDR required professional-level security experts, took a lot of time to conduct large-scale investigations and analysis, and was difficult to integrate successfully into an organization’s daily defense. CyCraft AIR solves those issues with its automated AI engine that supports the MITRE ATT&CK® information security framework. In minutes it can analyze every threat an organization is facing, no matter the scale, and produce an actionable, easily understood report, in addition to regularly issuing security notifications, clearly visualized analyses, and remediation recommendations. For the first time ever, the problem of information security can now be solved without expert interpretation or combing through voluminous security data.

“CyCraft’s artificial intelligence and SecureBrain’s talented experts together bring a new security service level to Japanese customers in defending modern hackers: full-scale monitoring, deep analytics, and the fastest response yet,” said James Cheng, CyCraft Japan COO.

CyCraft AIR can simultaneously achieve lightweight deployment, clear visualization of attacks, and rapid reporting of cases. The software that scans the endpoints can be run once (installation-free), scheduled, or continuously to fit customer needs. Horizontal correlation analysis of attacks and hidden devices are marked with topological maps and threat severity is easily understood by color. The complex intrusion routes of hackers pass through AI processing, creating simple and easy-to-understand Japanese reports for decision makers to quickly ascertain and act on their situation. As such, CyCraft AIR can conduct security investigations in minutes without the need for installation. In Japan, it has already successfully helped many organizations respond quickly, thoroughly, and accurately to cybersecurity emergencies. Through AI, companies can quickly take countermeasures early in a cyber attack, and vastly reduce time-consuming evidence collection at the risk of further harm.

“SecureBrain is excited to partner with CyCraft to deliver an AI-driven SecOps platform to help Japanese enterprises respond faster to new cyber attacks and stay one step ahead,” said Motoaki Yamamura, SecureBrain COO.

CouponBirds Seedling Project Made Great Progress

Leave a comment

BEIJING, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CouponBirds Seedling Project achieved impressive progress in April, 2020. Over twenty non-profit organizations joined the platform and raised more than $1,000 funds. During this time of uncertainty, The Seedling Project made the fundraising work more manageable for non-profit organizations.

CouponBirds Seedling Project

The mission of CouponBirds Seedling Project is to build a peer-to-peer fundraising platform, encouraging online shoppers to earn cash, donate to nonprofit organizations and support charity work in this difficult time. There are over 3 million shoppers visiting and using CouponBirds to shop and save every month and almost all the brands that shoppers are looking for could be found on CouponBirds. Shoppers earn cash by making purchases and donate part of their earnings to charity organizations.

CouponBirds provided scholarships to fund college students every year in the past. Growing to be a leading savings platform, CouponBirds always does the best to take social responsibilities. The Seedling Project initiation is an effective way to aggregate and amplify the power of a million-user community and give back the best.

How’s The Project Going

The team outreached hundreds of non-profit organizations in the first month, notified them of the event and guided those who were interested to get verified and join in the platform. The team set up the whole application, verification and management process online. Non-profit partners could use CouponBirds charity portal to finish all the preparations and watch the donations they receive from CouponBirds shoppers.

Although the whole economy is slowing down and most charities are working from time to time due to the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, The Seedling Project has welcomed more than twenty certified non-profit organizations joining in and started to raise funds from the platform. Organizations like Arise Children’s Fund, Louisiana Alliance of Children’s Advocacy Centers and Kids Saving the Rainforest have received more than $100 donations in this month.

The Prospects

CouponBirds supports a limited number of non-profit organizations, creating and leading active community engagements for the charity cause. With a small amount of funds raised every month for every non-profit organization, It hopes that every CouponBirds shopper could realize that each of them could do something, even give $1 to the vulnerable and disadvantaged groups and that $1 means much to them, that CouponBirds is doing what they can to help more people and give back to the society.

The project is still open to apply, qualified charity organisations can apply and join to raise funds from CouponBirds Seedling Project.
