Specific businesses in Kedah and Perak, the AI / custom-software / automation / web / chatbot projects we built, and the numbers 4 months in.
A 14-year, 3-branch Ipoh driving-school chain was drowning in 900+ WhatsApp messages a month — 70% lesson bookings and price FAQs. We built an AI chatbot. 12 weeks in, 70% of chats handle themselves, lesson-fill rate lifted from 71% to 89%, and the front desk is back to teaching support.
A 14-year Taiping heritage-hotel group was paying 18% Booking.com commission on every booking. We built them a direct-booking site with MYR/SGD/THB pricing. 8 months in, direct revenue is 4x what it was and OTA spend is down by RM 142k a year.
A 19-year Ipoh wholesale distributor ran 90-min nightly stock counts. A business automation build got it to 11 min by week 4. Cost, payback, what it would take for your Perak operation.
A 3-vet Alor Setar animal clinic was losing its receptionist to phone-tag. We built an AI WhatsApp triage bot. 10 weeks in, 60% of bookings self-serve, no-shows down 22%, and the receptionist is back doing actual in-clinic care.
The case studies above are real builds we shipped for real Malaysian SMEs — AI, custom software, automation, direct-booking websites, WhatsApp chatbots. Priced like a hire, not a project.
