Singapore-based Perx is a software-as-a-service customer engagement and loyalty platform provider. It uses machine-learning algorithms to target end consumers based on their behavioural patterns, personalising customer experiences and therefore increasing engagement levels both online and offline. Engagement rates, redemption rates and sales data are constantly tracked and displayed on a real-time dashboard.
The fresh funds will be used for research and development, as well as investing in client acquisition. The startup will also continue to grow partnerships with global software and technology companies. Perx was conceived in 2011 as a customer loyalty app, rewarding its users with points or “stamps” from merchants and thereby replacing the physical loyalty card. But the business model proved unsustainable, until its current chief, industry veteran Anna Gong, took over the reins and turned the business-to-consumer app into an enterprise cloud platform for businesses wanting to engage consumers. Today, its clients include HSBC, Prudential, UOB, Oracle and Malaysian mobile service provider Digi.
Mr Saverin, who co-founded venture capital firm B Capital, said: “Perx has developed an intuitive data-driven SaaS platform that helps address a critical issue faced by many large enterprises across the world - customer engagement. The company’s rapid growth on the back of its swift and quantifiable approach to consumer engagement demonstrates its ability to tap into this underserved segment.”
