Description iMember is a mobile application that functions more than just a card wallet, users are allowed to store all e-membership cards, view membership status, track points collected and redeem rewards with our app.
We help retailers to digitize loyalty program for their business with Cloud-Based Benefit Rewards System. This allows retailers to understand their customers purchase behavior to improvise marketing mix. We use AI Technologies (Machine learning) to collect data and analyze customers purchase behavior by transforming complicate data into eye-catching insight.
Business Opportunity Traditional in-house loyalty program such as SMS and email required high maintenance cost that brings ineffective communication and engagement. It also lacks of automation and it has a limitation on collecting customer data. Besides, bulky wallet with physical membership cards & irrelevant rewards program often are the problems that failed loyalty programs. With iMember, retailers can deliver marketing purpose message to the right audience (loyal customers) to reinforce their digital loyalty program.
For retailers, the iMember app becomes a new communication channel that allowing them to offer the latest personalized offers or prompt a notification to inform the latest promotion deals. Besides, we also analyze the customer’s purchase behavior to enhance business strategy for retailers. As part of the planning, we will develop a payment feature or integrate with 3rd party e-wallets, so that customers are able to purchase directly through our iMember APP.
Revenue / Business Model We target on Retails, Franchise, and SME by providing customizable plans that suit every type of businesses. Price discrimination used to charge for our product, the price is depending on package’s volume and the company’s size. Monthly Subscription Fee charged from Merchants is part of our revenue source. We also earn Resource Fee through In-App advertisement. Big data analysis for retails will be one of the revenue sources in the future. Lastly, we will also earn from our payment features (in progress) as part of our important resources for our business operation.

Risks and Mitigation Acceptance level toward the technologies in the industries is one of the risks that iMember will be facing in our startup journey. Malaysia just enters into Digital Era, therefore, times and efforts are needed in order to allow the retailers to adapt the technologies. We need to conduct marketing activities to promote our services as to popularize our concept, in order to mitigate the risks in the future.
Technologies can be one of the risks that affect our operation.

To reduce the risk, our operation team is required to attend courses to catch up the trend and upgrade the products by using the latest technologies.
