SINGAPORE, Oct 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OrangeTee & Tie (OrangeTee), Singapore's leading proptech agency, has officially completed a groundbreaking rebrand, marking the first major transformation of its brand identity since its founding in 2000. The striking new facade at its headquarters on 430 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh now bears the brand new OrangeTee logo, symbolising the company’s bold vision for the future. This rebranding exercise — unveiled in March 2024—signals not just a visual overhaul, but a complete evolution of the agency’s mission, led by CEO Justin Quek.Refreshed OrangeTee Senior Management Team (Front row from left to right: Justin Quek and Steven Tan; Back row from left to right: Christine Sun, Raymond Khoo, Ramesh Pillai, Jon Tan, and Elsie Low). Photo by OrangeTee.OrangeTee & Tie headquarters with the refreshed logo prominently displayed on its building facade at 430 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh, alongside the newly renovated OT Business Lounge—offering agents and clients a modern, innovative space that reflects the agency’s future-focused vision. Photos by OrangeTee.With a renewed focus on innovation and social responsibility, OrangeTee is positioning itself as a force for good in the real estate industry. The agency is on a mission to empower clients and agents alike, helping consumers "find their place" through technology, transparency, and redefined roles for real estate agents. The phased rebranding began with a launch aimed at engaging agents during its annual business convention in April, followed by a high-profile consumer showcase at The Home Expo in September; culminating in a grand celebration at its annual gala in October 2024, which brought together internal stakeholders to mark this milestone in the company’s historical journey.Traditionally seen as mere facilitators of transactions, OrangeTee agents are now positioned as “trusted advisers” who offer a holistic approach to clients. This shift highlighted the company’s dedication to elevating the customer experience, providing expert insights beyond property listings and transaction services, and fostering lasting relationships built on expert knowledge, trust, and integrity.Said Mr Quek, “Our brand refresh represents more than just a visual change, it’s a reflection of our core mission to make real estate simpler, more accessible, and more empowering for all. This new brand identity underscores our unwavering commitment to helping everyone confidently find their place in their real estate journey. To double down on this, OrangeTee is the first and only agency in the industry to remunerate our advisers 100 per cent of the commission from new launches with effect immediately for the next nine months.”ELEVATING REAL ESTATE INSIGHTS AND AI TECHNOLOGYAlso in 2024, OrangeTee unveiled its new research hub during its annual business convention in April 2024. Offering comprehensive real estate insights through an intuitive interface with interactive infographics, animations, and themed reports. It is also updated regularly with market trends across market sectors like HDB, private residential, commercial, and industrial, to keep consumers well-informed.Complementing the Research Hub is the Market Analytics Suite (MAS), offering over 100 dashboards with advanced filtering options for targeted searches. With it being accessible to both advisers and consumers, the MAS breaks down complex data into user-friendly visuals, enhancing accessibility through tablet and mobile compatibility.Leveraging the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), the company is enhancing its technological integration with the development of AMOS (AI-enabled Mobile Operating System), a next-generation CRM system that not only engages consumers but also empowers its advisers. Once fully implemented, AMOS will optimise its communication channels with advisers and consumers across all digital touchpoints, streamlining workflows from initial contact to appointment scheduling—boosting the efficiency and effectiveness of its services.FORGING PARTNERSHIPS TO SUPPORT THE TEAMTo support OrangeTee advisers in their diverse real estate ventures, several strategic partnerships have already been forged in 2024. These collaborations are designed to equip advisers with cutting-edge tools, solutions, and innovative spaces–ranging from modern commercial offices to co-working environments–enabling them to better serve their clients.Partnerships with companies like Motorist and JustCo have introduced new value-added services for OrangeTee advisers. These alliances enable advisers to offer property clients alternative car-financing options through Motorist to navigate the total debt servicing ratio, while JustCo provides access to flexible co-working spaces, in anticipation of the growing trend of companies opting for modern work environments over traditional offices.In 2024, OrangeTee also broadened its partnerships by collaborating with iQuadrant (IQ), Crestbrick, and Century 21, enhancing the company’s overseas property listings and overall service offerings. By leveraging IQ’s expertise in overseas property investments and education, OrangeTee can tap into a wider array of properties in London, United Kingdom, while its agents benefit from IQ’s proven property investment strategies.This builds on their existing partnership with Tokyu Livable, Inc., one of Japan’s largest real estate services firms, which serves as a key equity partner and grants OrangeTee clients access to the Japanese real estate market. In addition, through its sister company, OrangeTee International, the agency is actively marketing overseas properties in Australia, Dubai, Malaysia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.In return, OrangeTee is extending its tech capabilities by offering a lite version of its AgentApp to its partners. By sharing technology, both parties would benefit, with partners gaining access to advanced tools that enhance efficiency, while OrangeTee expands its local agent network and strengthens industry collaboration.OrangeTee also offers a comprehensive agent-training roadmap to upskill its advisers across various property sectors. Through workshops, courses, and tech-driven learning, advisers can now stay ahead of market trends and regulations, ensuring they provide top-tier service and expertise for their clients.Added Mr Quek, “We believe that forging strong partnerships is the key to delivering innovative, holistic solutions to our clients. Through collaborations with industry leaders across various sectors, we can empower our advisers and provide greater value to their clients.”INSIGHTS GAINED AS PRESENTING SPONSOR OF THE HOME EXPO 2024The culmination of these efforts led to OrangeTee’s role as the presenting sponsor of The Home Expo 2024. The three-day event at Suntec Convention Centre in September saw over 12,000 attendees, 16 expert speakers, and more than $1.3 million invested in advertising, aiming to position OrangeTee as a thought leader in the real estate industry. The event also offered industry professionals a differentiated platform to engage with their clients and build leads with potential home seekers.During the home expo, OrangeTee also announced its support for the "Safe Havens, Bright Horizons" campaign by the Children’s Society of Singapore (CSS) to raise $100,000 for the revitalisation of Sunbeam Place, a residential home and a gazetted place of safety for the vulnerable children in Singapore under CSS, in collaboration with a local art gallery, LivingwithArt.Mr Quek also shared his thoughts on these partnerships established by the company, stating, “These initiatives allow us to push beyond the boundaries of traditional real estate services and foster more meaningful, impactful experiences for all members of society.”Looking forward, OrangeTee envisions a future where real estate transcends mere transactions, instead focusing on holistic, integrated solutions that cater to modern homebuyers' evolving needs.As OrangeTee continues to evolve as a force for good, the company is poised to shape the future of real estate, placing greater emphasis on customer-centric solutions and creating lasting value for clients and its advisers.Please find High-Resolution images here.For Media Queries, Please Contact:Amirul Asyraf: +65 8448 4824 // amirul@swstrategies.orgChua Sheng Rui: +65 9137 2102 // shengrui@swstrategies.orgAbout OrangeTee & TieFounded in February 2000, OrangeTee & Tie (OrangeTeeOTT) has firmly established itself as a highly esteemed proptech agency renowned for its innovative tech tools in Singapore.

SEOUL, S.KOREA, Oct 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - South Korean hospitality tech company HEROWORKS is set to enter the Singapore market by introducing its hotel revenue management solution, 'DatAmenity.'- HEROWORKS to Participate in 'TTA 2024', the Largest Tourism & Tech Expo in the Asia-Pacific Region- HEROWORKS to Supply its Hotel Revenue Management Solution 'DatAmenity' to the Singapore Market- Seeking Global Tourism Partners to Target the Asian Market with Localized SystemsHEROWORKS has been selected as a participating company for the Travel & Tech Expo organized by the Singapore Tourism Enterprises Support Center (KTSC). From the 23rd to the 25th of this month, HEROWORKS will attend 'Travel Tech Asia (TTA) 2024' and '2024 ITB-Asia' at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre in Singapore, seeking new business opportunities targeting the Asian hospitality tech market.With the aim of providing optimized solutions for the Singapore market, HEROWORKS will engage in networking and one-on-one investment meetings with key stakeholders, including venture capitalists, angel investors, and other investors. Through business consultations with these stakeholders, HEROWORKS plans to identify the specific needs of Singapore's tourism and hospitality industries and to localize the 'DatAmenity' technology by partnering with companies that can create synergistic effects.DatAmenity is the first service in Korea to develop and implement a Revenue Management System (RMS) for hotels, and currently holds Korea's number one market share. The solution collects and analyzes room data registered with Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), including pricing information and sales status, for all types of accommodations, such as hotels, motels, resorts, and pensions, assisting in optimally setting room sale prices.Unlike traditional hotel solutions, the DatAmenity solution is offered as a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) model, allowing users to easily access and utilize the system anytime, anywhere. It currently serves approximately 500 accommodation facilities and has received significant positive feedback.Notably, DatAmenity has been recognized for its differentiated technological prowess in 'Comparing Room Sales by Room Type.' HEROWORKS identified the challenge that, despite having identical room configurations, differing room nomenclatures across hotels make accurate price comparisons difficult. In response, HEROWORKS developed a system allowing users (client companies) to set competitive hotels' room classifications by their hotel's room standards. This system, a proprietary technology exclusive to DatAmenity, has been proven innovative by acquiring a technology patent.HEROWORKS CEO Lee Chang-ju stated, "The demand for data-driven revenue management is increasing in Singapore's hospitality industry." He added, "Through participating in the TTA and ITB-Asia expos, we expect to accelerate our penetration into the Asian market by establishing partnerships with Singapore's tourism and tech companies."Meanwhile, HEROWORKS is a hospitality technology company specializing in developing automated systems for hotel revenue management. To address the gaps that existing hotel operational systems, such as Property Management Systems (PMS) and Channel Management Systems (CMS), cannot resolve, HEROWORKS has developed and operates a distinctive 'Hotel Revenue Management Solution.' Notably, the solution provides features that establish 'optimal room sale prices' and enable comprehensive viewing and management of 'hotel customer reviews,' contributing to enhanced hotel revenues.Social LinksYouTube: https://youtu.be/e1kOthMDeUo?feature=sharedBlog: https://blog.naver.com/datamenityMedia ContactBrand: HEROWORKSContact: Planning & Marketing TeamWebsite: https://www.heroworks.co.kr Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Oct 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - With the increasing global emphasis on sustainability, the Hong Kong government has introduced the 'Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2050'. To enhance the transparency of environmental governance and climate-related disclosure for listed companies, HKEX has also revised the "ESG Code" to be effective from 1 January 2025. Within this evolving framework, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors have emerged as pivotal foundations for business development. This is particularly evident in Hong Kong's construction industry, where numerous companies proactively champion these initiatives to demonstrate a steadfast commitment to a sustainable future.As a good model among Hong Kong listed companies in construction industry, Ching Lee Holding Limited (3728. HK) is advancing its ESG agenda through a variety of initiatives. Notably, Ching Lee participated in the "ESG Pledge Scheme" this year organised and recognised by The Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong. This initiative reinforces Ching Lee's leadership role in promoting ESG principles and highlights its proactive stance on sustainability.Employees' welfare and occupational health and safety are always the most important items on the ESG agenda. Ching Lee ensures preparedness on construction sites and conducts emergency drills regularly. This dedication reflects its responsible commitment and a profound respect for employee safety. Moreover, the company places a high value on enhancing employee skills. According to Ching Lee's annual report, the total training hours for employees reached an impressive 98.5 hours, with a training participation rate of approximately 60%. Employees are also integral participants in the ESG framework. Several companies have established training systems that align employee development closely with corporate sustainability objectives, thereby achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.In addition to prioritising occupational safety and skills training, Hong Kong companies support public welfare projects in education, healthcare, and culture, while encouraging employees to engage in community service. According to the annual report from Ching Lee Holdings, the company donated over HKD 1.5 million to various charitable organisations in the 2023-2024 financial year, with more than 60 employees actively participating in community service. Furthermore, Ching Lee commits to promoting green building technologies and mandates that all employees adhere rigorously to environmental standards throughout construction. For instance, the company advocates for using recyclable building materials and strives to minimise waste generation during construction activities in addition to energy-saving and emission-reduction measures.By implementing a comprehensive range of initiatives, Hong Kong companies enable their workforce to become active participants in ESG efforts. Ching Lee Holdings adeptly links corporate development with employee growth, illustrating that corporate social responsibility is not merely essential but constitutes a fundamental pillar of sustainable development.
