Sagtec Accelerates AI Expansion with Proposed Acquisition of Agentic AI Software Company
This proposed acquisition is set to transform Sagtec from a data systems provider into a full-spectrum AI technology leader, capable of delivering predictive, real-time intelligence to businesses across Asia. With Smart Bridge's proven AI engine and high-margin software business, Sagtec positions itself at the intersection of AI innovation and real-world commercial application, unlocking a multi-billion-dollar total addressable market (TAM) in behavioral analytics, decision automation, and intelligent enterprise software.
Sagtec currently supports thousands of F&B outlets and retailers through its industry-leading point-of-sale (POS) and backend platforms, generating vast volumes of structured consumer and transaction data. The acquisition of Smart Bridge will supercharge Sagtec's ecosystem, enabling the Company to:
Deliver automated business intelligence to its F&B clients
Launch AI-driven menu optimization, upselling strategies, and supply forecasting
Detect and prevent revenue leakage via behavioral fraud analytics and anomaly detection
Enter new verticals including logistics, fintech, and hospitality with customizable AI modules
With this proposed acquisition, Sagtec broadens its TAM beyond retail into high-growth sectors where predictive analytics and behavioral intelligence are crucial. Markets and Markets projects the global AI retail market will reach US$43 billion by 2032, International Data Corporation estimates the SME-focused AI software market will exceed US$25 billion, and Grand View Research forecasts the intelligent POS and behavioral analytics market to surpass US$65 billion. Together, these markets offer Sagtec significant opportunities to leverage Smart Bridge's AI capabilities and expand into new, monetizable verticals.
This initiative aligns with the rapid expansion of the Artificial Intelligence sector, driven by increasing digital adoption, growing enterprise awareness of AI's transformative potential, and rising reliance on mobile platforms. Concurrently, demand for mobile-first, intelligent enterprise software is surging, reshaping how businesses compete and operate in an increasingly digital landscape.
Smart Bridge has demonstrated strong financial and operational performance, reporting a net profit of US$2.1 million, showcasing the high efficiency and scalability of its AI-driven business model. The company continues to expand its growing client base across Asia, with its scalable AI engine successfully deployed in multiple high-volume environments, further validating the commercial viability and adaptability of its technology.
'This acquisition accelerates Sagtec's vision of becoming the AI-first enterprise platform of the future. We're not just building tools, we're engineering intelligence that empowers everyday operators to predict, optimize, and monetize every transaction. It marks a transformative chapter for Sagtec, where we move beyond facilitating business to fundamentally reshaping it, unlocking new revenue streams and driving smarter, data-driven growth across industries,' said Kevin Ng, Chairman, Executive Director, and Chief Executive Officer of Sagtec.

Japan's economy grows at a 1% pace in the last quarter despite Trump's higher tariffs
TOKYO (AP) — The Japanese economy grew at a better than expected 1% annual pace in the last quarter, boosted by exports that held up despite U.S. President Donald Trump's higher tariffs. The U.S. has imposed a 15% tax on imports from Japan. That's higher than before for some products but down from the 25% tariff Trump announced earlier. Real gross domestic product, or GDP, which measures the total value of a nation's goods and services, expanded 0.3% in the fiscal first quarter compared to the previous quarter, beating analysts' estimates. It was Japan's fifth straight quarter of growth. Japan's exports grew 2.0% in the period, according to preliminary data from the Cabinet Office. A 90-day pause on higher tariffs for most goods and most trading partners enabled companies to rush some exports to try and beat the higher import duties. But the 15% tariffs took effect as of last week, closing that window. A surge in visits by foreign tourists has also helped, though it has also raised resentment among some Japanese upset over various aspects of dealing with outsiders. Apart from exports, capital investment rose 1.3% from a year earlier, helping to drive faster growth. But consumer spending remained relatively weak, growing just 0.2%. Prices have been rising steadily while wages have stagnated. The stronger than expected economic performance in the last quarter raises the likelihood that Japan's central bank may push ahead with raising its benchmark interest rate from its longstanding level near zero to help cap inflation. The higher tariffs that Trump has imposed to try to get companies to increase manufacturing in the United States have added to pressure on Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who is facing calls to resign after the ruling Liberal Democrats and their coalition partner the Komeito failed to win majorities in both houses of the parliament.
