In a remarkable display of industry disruption, Azgo, the latest travel cashback app to hit the Asian market, has achieved extraordinary growth since its launch in February 2024. Surpassing its annual targets within just six months, Azgo has quickly established itself as a formidable player in the travel tech sector.
Since its inception, Azgo has attracted over 250,000 users across critical markets, including China, Singapore, and Hong Kong, generating an impressive USD 2.4 million in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV). This figure, representing the total value of transactions processed through the platform, highlights a near-unprecedented growth trajectory of close to 620% month-on-month.
Filling a Critical Market Gap: Azgo’s Rise to Prominence
Azgo’s rapid ascension signals a clear market gap that consumers and merchants have been eager to see filled. The platform’s unique offering addresses this unmet need and reshapes the travel industry’s landscape, which is ripe for change.
Backed by an experienced team of industry veterans from Booking.com, Trip.com, and Skyscanner, Azgo is leveraging its deep industry knowledge and innovative approach to redefine the travel experience. The company’s commitment to providing seamless and rewarding travel solutions has positioned it at the forefront of the industry’s evolution.
Game-Changing Innovations Driving Azgo’s Success
Several strategic initiatives have been instrumental in propelling Azgo’s impressive growth:
- Accelerated Reward Payouts: Traditionally, reward payouts in the travel industry can take anywhere from 60 to 90 days following the fulfilment of a booking. However, Azgo has dramatically shortened this timeframe, delivering payouts within seven days. The company is actively working on setting a new gold standard, aiming for payout times of just one to three working days from the moment customers upload proof of fulfilment. This feature, currently available with select merchants, will soon be rolled out more broadly.
- AI-Powered Cashback Validation: Azgo is harnessing the power of AI to expedite the validation of cashback on the best deals offered by a network of established travel partners, including industry giants like Booking.com, Agoda, Creatory by MoneyHero Group, and Pelago by Singapore Airlines. This use of cutting-edge technology ensures that customers receive the maximum benefits from their travel bookings.
- Mobile-First Customer Service: Azgo is the first mobile-first platform for travel bookings that guarantees a personalized response to each customer inquiry within 30 minutes during service hours. This contrasts sharply with the industry norm of relying on automated responses, further enhancing the user experience.
Yan Yuan Sng, Head of Country, Singapore, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s achievements, stating, “We are thrilled to announce the remarkable success and growth we have achieved in just a short six months. Our commitment to revolutionizing the travel experience through our AI-driven platform and innovative solutions has resonated well with travelers and merchants throughout the region, exceeding our initial expectations. This spectacular growth is a testament to the capabilities of our team, made up of leading industry experts, who have a unified mission to deliver unparalleled value to our customers and partners.”
What’s Next for Azgo?
Azgo is poised to push boundaries and drive change as the travel industry evolves. The company aims to become the leading AI-driven platform for rewards and price comparisons, empowering users to make smarter travel decisions.
Already, Azgo has secured partnerships with several top-tier Online Travel Agents (OTAs), further solidifying its position in the market. For instance, its collaboration with Pelago, Singapore Airlines’ global activities platform, has generated over six GMV figures within three months. This partnership allows Azgo users to enjoy cashback and earn 3 KrisFlyer miles for every dollar spent booking over 200,000 activities on Pelago.
Having launched initially in China, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, Azgo is now targeting the United States and Australia. The company’s expansion into these new markets is a testament to its ambition to redefine the global travel tech landscape.
“Our journey has only just begun, and we are looking forward to continuing to redefine the travel tech landscape and unlock greater value for everyone,” Yan Yuan Sng added.
