Qashier
If you're running a 12-outlet F&B chain in Singapore, you've probably already scrolled past Qashier's funding headline this week. The number worth pausing on: Qashier closed a US$6.125 million Series A+ round on 30 June 2026, led by Cocoon Capital, IFP Securities, and BlackSoil Global, with a handful of strategic angels joining in. That's equity and debt combined, not a pure equity print, which matters if you're comparing it to other SEA fintech raises.
The company says it's been profitable every month since December 2025, with annualized recurring revenue up 61% year over year. Profitable and still raising is the detail that actually matters here. Most POS vendors raise because they're burning cash to buy growth; Qashier raised while already in the black, which reads more like fuel for expansion than a lifeline.
Scale-wise, Qashier reports US$1 billion in annualized payment volume across more than 20,000 merchants spread across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. The new capital is earmarked for regional expansion, omnichannel payment architecture, and AI-driven workflow automation. None of that is priced or dated yet, so treat it as direction rather than a shipped roadmap. Background: Qashier picked up its Major Payment Institution license in Singapore back in February 2025.
Two product changes landed alongside the funding news. First, Singapore's Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) took effect on 1 April 2026, requiring a S$0.10 refundable deposit on pre-packaged beverages between 150ml and 3L that carry the BCRS Deposit Mark. Qashier updated its HQ, POS, QashierEats, receipts, and reports to auto-apply that S$0.10 deposit on flagged products. It shows up as a separate "BCRS Deposit (Not Subject to GST)" line item. The underlying product price doesn't change.
Second, Qashier added a Customer Reviews feature. Merchants can now prompt customers for feedback right after a transaction, with an optional reward — a 5% Review Reward, for example — redeemable once per customer and aimed squarely at pulling in Google Reviews. There's no public release date for this one yet. No pricing tier changes either: Lite is still free, and Essential is still S$56 a month.
AutoCount
AutoCount's news this cycle is less flashy, but the timing is the story. On 9 July 2026, AutoCount's authorised Malaysia reseller, autocount.promo, expanded its online catalogue to cover the full product range: accounting, POS, cloud, and e-Invoice-ready editions. Licensing, setup, training, and local support are all bundled in, aimed at SMEs in retail, F&B, wholesale, and manufacturing.
That expansion lines up with a deadline, not a coincidence. Malaysia's Phase 5 e-Invoice mandate, covering businesses with RM500,000 to RM1,000,000 in annual revenue, took effect on 1 July 2026. It's the final phase of LHDN's rollout, meaning every eligible SME crossed a compliance deadline within a week of this catalogue going live. Expanding a reseller catalogue right as the last phase kicks in isn't glamorous work, but it's the right unglamorous work at exactly the right moment.
AutoCount's e-Invoice Platform (AIP) submits Standard, Consolidated, and Self-Billed e-Invoices straight to LHDN's MyInvois system, without leaving the existing AutoCount accounting workflow. The company has also signaled upcoming Peppol-standard invoicing support, which would extend interoperability beyond MyInvois. There's no firm release date for that yet, and no published pricing change for AutoCount's licensing or support fees this cycle.
HashMicro
HashMicro shipped two new products in quick succession: HashMicro X on 9 July 2026, and Hashy OS the day after, both announced via PR Newswire and picked up by regional outlets across APAC.
HashMicro X is an AI-native manufacturing platform. Production planners are the clearest beneficiary — they get schedules optimized against machine capacity, material availability, and deadlines. Procurement gets early shortage warnings with recommended actions attached. Quality managers get AI-driven root-cause analysis when the same defect keeps showing up on the line.
Hashy OS is a different animal: a unified workspace where employees talk to department-specific "AI coworkers" that handle finance, procurement, inventory, sales, and HR tasks. It runs beside HashMicro X, not inside it. Both products extend HashMicro's existing suite of 50-plus industry-specific ERP modules built for medium-to-large enterprises.
Neither HashMicro X nor Hashy OS has published pricing yet. That's usually the tell of a launch that's more roadmap than finished product — budget teams should ask directly before assuming this cycle's news changes their cost.
Coverage note
Nobody in this cycle published an exact tier-to-tier price change; there's no "$X to $Y a month" moment from any of the three vendors. What's actually confirmed and dated: Qashier's US$6.125M Series A+ close on 30 June 2026, and its BCRS deposit feature, live since 1 April 2026. AutoCount's e-Invoice reseller catalogue expansion, tied to Malaysia's Phase 5 mandate, landed on 9 July 2026. HashMicro's X and Hashy OS launch followed on 9-10 July 2026.
Qashier's Customer Reviews feature and AutoCount's Peppol support are both real, but neither vendor has put a date on them as of this cycle's publish date.
