Launched in February this year, azgo, the latest travel cashback app in Asia, has already achieved its ambitious growth targets for the year in just six months.
The app has amassed over 250,000 users across key markets such as China, Singapore, and Hong Kong since its launch, and has generated more than US$2.4 million in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), which is the total value of transactions made through azgo. This represents a fast growth trajectory of close to 620 per cent growth month on month.
This rapid growth demonstrates that not only has there been a gap in the market that azgo is now filling for both consumers and merchants, but that the industry is ready for new disruptors and ripe for change.
Backed by azgo’s experienced team of leaders hailing from Booking.com, Trip.com and Skyscanner, azgo is leading the evolution of the travel tech industry.
Some of the changes introduced and led by azgo that have fuelled its rapid growth include accelerating the pay-outs of rewards to its customers in just seven days; leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up validation of cashback from best deals and offerings from a network of established travel partners, such as Booking.com, Agoda, Creatory by MoneyHero Group, and Pelago by Singapore Airlines; and being the first mobile-first platform for travel bookings that will respond to each customer query within 30 minutes with personalised responses during its customer service operating hours, instead of relying on automated responses.
azgo aims to become the leading AI-driven platform for rewards and price comparison, so users are empowered to make smarter decisions when they travel. With many top-tier OTAs already entering into partnerships with the app, azgo will continue to focus on expanding its partnerships and delivering impactful results to its key merchants and partners.
As part of its initial phase, azgo has launched in China, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. In the next phase of its journey, azgo will be setting its sight on the US and Australia markets.
Yan Yuan Sng, head of country, Singapore, said: “Our commitment to revolutionising the travel experience through our AI-driven platform and innovative solutions have resonated well with travellers and merchants throughout the region, exceeding our initial expectations. This spectacular growth is testament to the capabilities of our team, made up of leading industry experts, who have a unified mission to deliver unparalleled value to our customers and partners.
“Our journey has only just started, and we are looking forward to continue redefining the travel tech landscape and unlocking greater value for everyone.”
