Qashier
- 30 June 2026: Qashier closed a US$6.125 million Series A+ round (equity and debt), led by Cocoon Capital, IFP Securities, and BlackSoil Global, with participation from strategic angel investors.
- Company reports US$1 billion in annualized payment volume across 20,000+ merchants in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
- Qashier states it has been profitable every month since December 2025, with annualized recurring revenue up 61% year over year.
- New capital is earmarked for regional expansion across Southeast Asia, omnichannel payment architecture, and AI-driven insights and workflow automation.
- Background: Qashier secured its Major Payment Institution license in Singapore in February 2025.
- 1 April 2026: Singapore's Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) took effect, requiring a S$0.10 refundable deposit on pre-packaged beverages (150ml-3L) bearing the BCRS Deposit Mark. Qashier updated its HQ, POS, QashierEats, receipts, and reports to auto-apply the S$0.10 deposit on products flagged "BCRS Eligible," listed as a separate "BCRS Deposit (Not Subject to GST)" line item, with no change to underlying product prices.
- Qashier also added a Customer Reviews feature: merchants can prompt customers for feedback after each transaction, with an optional reward (e.g., a 5% Review Reward) redeemable once per customer, aimed at Google Reviews collection. No public release date found for this feature; no pricing tier change identified for existing Qashier plans (Lite: free; Essential: S$56/month) this cycle.
AutoCount
- 9 July 2026: AutoCount's authorised Malaysia reseller (autocount.promo) expanded its online catalogue to cover the full AutoCount range - accounting, POS, cloud, and e-Invoice-ready editions - with licensing, setup, training, and local support for SMEs in retail, F&B, wholesale, and manufacturing.
- Timing lines up with Malaysia's e-Invoice mandate: Phase 5 (businesses with RM500,000-RM1,000,000 annual revenue) took effect 1 July 2026, the final phase of LHDN's rollout.
- AutoCount's e-Invoice Platform (AIP) submits Standard, Consolidated, and Self-Billed e-Invoices directly to LHDN's MyInvois system from inside the existing AutoCount accounting workflow.
- AutoCount has signaled upcoming support for Peppol-standard invoicing to extend interoperability beyond MyInvois. No firm release date found.
- No published pricing change for AutoCount's licensing or support fees identified this cycle.
HashMicro
- 9-10 July 2026: HashMicro launched two products for APAC businesses - HashMicro X, an AI-native manufacturing platform, and Hashy OS, an enterprise AI operating system - announced via PR Newswire and syndicated regional outlets.
- HashMicro X embeds AI into production planning, procurement, and quality control: production planners get schedules optimized against machine capacity, material availability, and deadlines; procurement gets early shortage warnings with recommended actions; quality managers get AI-driven root-cause analysis for recurring defects.
- Hashy OS is a separate unified workspace where employees interact with department-specific "AI coworkers" handling finance, procurement, inventory, sales, and HR tasks - positioned alongside, not inside, HashMicro X.
- Both products extend HashMicro's existing suite of 50+ industry-specific ERP modules for medium-to-large enterprises.
- No published pricing for HashMicro X or Hashy OS found; no exact tier pricing identified this cycle.
