The company has therefore earmarked RM10.10 million or 26.92% of the total Public Issue proceeds towards the expansion of its workforce, which stood at 18 employees as at the LPD. The company believes that the new recruits will enhance its capacity to service the growing number of new contracts.

(iv) D&D

The company recognizes the increasing demand for technology application and infrastructure solutions, and the importance of D&D activities in the bid to remain competitive, and provide customers with technological applications and solutions that optimise and streamline operations process flows efficiently.

The company believes that an effective D&D shapes the features and functionality of the solutions. The company has therefore earmarked RM1.90 million or 5.06% of its total Public Issue proceeds to undertake the following D&D activities to maintain its competitiveness and market presence:


(v) Set-up of new integrated centre

The company intends to set-up a new integrated centre, which enables the Group to undertake the following:

  1. a sizable test laboratory and demonstration area (“Test Lab”) measuring approximately 2,000 sq ft to enable the company to enhance its testing capacity (where the Group conducts testing on the solutions or products from its suppliers) and showcase the solutions to its customers. The company currently leases an office in Kuala Lumpur with a floor space of approximately 421 sq feet and the size of the floor space has limited the ability to conduct extensive testing activities (which requires a larger floor space); and
  2. a training area to cater to the training requirements and needs as the centre will be equipped with a sizeable Test Lab (with a selection of the solutions for the training instructors to incorporate in the training sessions). The training area will be designed to accommodate a smaller group compared to the training area at the New Office Building, with a capacity envisioned to cater to up to 100 individuals. The company currently conducts the training at its customers’ offices or hotels function rooms.

To facilitate this strategic initiative, the company has earmarked RM1.50 million or 4.00% of the total Public issue proceeds towards the setting up of the new integrated facility centre. The company intends to lease an office area of approximately 2,000 sq ft located in the Klang Valley (envisaged to accommodate up to 35 individuals) to cater to the integrated centre requirements.

Business model

The company is principally involved in providing enterprise IT services, focusing on providing transportation IT solutions (including customised software development systems and integration of hardware and software systems) with an established track record in the bus and rail segments. The company offerings also extend to include maintenance and support services as well as terminal management services for the IT solutions that the company delivers to its customers.

The Group’s principal activities and business model are summarised in the diagram below:

The company prides itself as a key transportation IT solutions provider in Malaysia with an established track record in the bus and rail segments. The company provides customised solutions to the customers, which are catered primarily towards the optimisation and efficient management of operational process flows that are critical to the operations and requires real time monitoring, resource allocation and utilisation, automated scheduling and data analytics reporting.

The advancement of technologies and the necessity for transportation service providers and operators to adopt enterprise IT services to automate and streamline their operational process flow (resource allocation and utilisation as well as ticketing and traffic management) and elevating customer traveling experiences have led to an increase in the need and demand for the solutions. Although the solutions predominantly cater to the bus and rail segments, the solutions are adaptable and can be applied to other segments within the transportation sector (which includes sea and air transportation segments) and non-transportation sectors which require optimisation of critical process flow management functions such as warehousing and distribution centres, manufacturing facilities and healthcare.
