Log of dated, sourced changes for three SEA SaaS vendors, through 2026-08-25.
StoreHub
- 2026-08-24: ShardLab, the fintech venture studio backed by investment firm Hashed, took a strategic stake in StoreHub and formed a joint venture with it to build new consumer payments and rewards products for Southeast Asia. Sources: PR Newswire APAC, Fintech News Malaysia, TechNode Global.
- Investment amount: not disclosed.
- Joint-venture product scope and launch timeline: not disclosed. The stated purpose is to test new payment and rewards models with real merchants, then scale what works.
- Context figures cited in the announcement: StoreHub serves 20,000+ merchant locations across Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Japan, processing 200 million+ transactions a year worth roughly USD 3.5 billion combined.
- No pricing change. StoreHub's published starting price remains USD 39/month.
Aspire
- 2026-08-06: Aspire partnered with Flagright to run AI-driven financial-crime compliance across its business-finance platform. Sources: Fintech News Singapore, Flagright, FF News.
- Flagright now supplies Aspire with transaction monitoring, watchlist/user screening, risk scoring, and case-management workflows.
- Coverage: Aspire's 50,000+ business customers across 30+ markets.
- This is separate from Aspire's 2026-06-23 Aspire MCP launch (previously covered in this tracker on 2026-08-12) — a different product line, AML compliance rather than an AI query layer.
- No pricing change disclosed alongside this partnership.
SleekFlow
- 2026-08-12: SleekFlow added Email as a native channel inside SleekFlow Inbox, in beta. Sources: SleekFlow Help Center, SleekFlow blog.
- Email now sits alongside WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, SMS, and VoIP calls in one inbox view.
- Scope at launch: inbound support and one-to-one customer email threads — inquiries, support requests, ongoing conversations.
- Access: feature is behind a Feature Preview toggle; users must enable it manually to use it.
- No pricing-tier restriction or price change reported alongside this launch.
Notes on scope
BukuWarung, Jubelio, Deskera, Brankas, Mekari Jurnal, and Ayoconnect were also checked this cycle. None had a dated pricing, feature, or partnership change confirmed inside the last 30-60 days as of 2026-08-25, so they were left out in favor of StoreHub, Aspire, and SleekFlow, which each had a multi-source-confirmed date.
Aspire's Flagright partnership (2026-08-06) is distinct from the Aspire MCP launch (2026-06-23) already logged in the 2026-08-12 edition of this tracker — flagged here to avoid double-counting the same update under two different dates.
