Additionally, the number of monthly transacted users rose by 55%, now totalling 3,752. These figures highlight the strong demand and growing market presence of TAZTE.

The market potential for TAZTE is significant. According to Statista, the transaction value in the Mobile POS Payments market in Malaysia is projected to reach US$4.73 billion by the end of 2024. The market is expected to show a Compound Annual Growth Rate (2024-2028) of 20.70%, resulting in a projected total amount of US$10.04 billion by 2028.

Developmental Stages and Strategic Vision
Treasure Global is currently in the developmental stages of the TAZTE, envisioned as a comprehensive solution for digital transformation tailored to registered food and beverage (“F&B”) outlets across Malaysia. TAZTE is strategically crafted as a merchant-centric program, aiming to harness Treasure Global’s user data to drive heightened business growth for its merchant clientele.
Extended Complimentary Trial Period
In light of the encouraging metrics and positive feedback from Treasure Global’s beta testers, we have decided to extend the complimentary trial period offered to merchants for participation in TAZTE. Initially slated to conclude on December 31, 2023, the trial period has now been extended until June 2024.
Enhancements and Market Strategy
TAZTE has successfully implemented additional features to enhance its service and functionality levels. These include the ability for merchants to create Promotions, Customer Rewards, Remote Approval of Superiors, and Instant Customer Refunds.
Furthermore, Treasure Global is excited to announce the completion of its innovative Co-Pilot Mode, which consists of several automated features designed to optimize operations. The Auto Accept Incoming Order feature automatically accepts orders as they come in, while the Auto Cascade Order Note directs specific order notes to particular print stations. AutoFIX provides automatic troubleshooting when a printing error occurs, ensuring minimal disruption. Additionally, the Printing Divert feature automatically redirects failed print jobs to other functional print stations, ensuring continuous workflow. These completed features are designed to help F&B businesses better manage operational processes and order forecasting, thereby reducing resource wastage and increasing revenue. Customers will also benefit from discounted pricing compared to original menu prices when using TAZTE.
The continued integration with ZCITY, our proprietary app, will further leverage our growing user base of over 2.6 million registered users. TAZTE will continue to gather important data and customer insights, such as demographics, spending habits, and purchase trends, allowing merchants to make smarter decisions and optimize their offerings. TAZTE uses ZCITY App’s CRM analytics software to attract and retain consumers through personalized, data-driven engagement to generate greater profitability.
“TGI is committed to revolutionizing the F&B industry in Malaysia with TAZTE. The extended trial period allows us to fine-tune our system based on valuable user feedback. We are confident that TAZTE will not only drive operational efficiencies but also significantly boost profitability for our merchant partners. We look forward to continuing our development efforts and are excited about the future enhancements that will further solidify TAZTE’s position as the market leader in automated solutions for the F&B industry,” said Sam Teo, Chief Executive Officer of Treasure Global.
