Macrokiosk eyes 25 pct growth this year

KUALA LUMPUR: Macro Kiosk Bhd (MacroKiosk), a mobile technology enabler, is aiming for a 25 per cent growth in sales this year, said its Chief Operating Officer, Datuk Kenny Goh.

He said the target was achievable, driven by its products, good marketing and sales network in Malaysia and across the region.

“Currently, 85 per cent of the company’s revenue are contributed by sales in Malaysia, and by 2020, we hope to reduce this and increase our overseas contribution to 30 per cent of revenue.

“We achieved single-digit growth in the early part of our operations, but the market has started using our products and services and seen the benefits and results...this will help speed up our growth,” he told Bernama here yesterday.

MacroKiosk had already established partnerships with various mobile telecommunications providers in the Asian region, and having the first-mover advantage would definitely help to continue its growth and good position in the mobile space, he said.

Goh said that through the Global Acceleration and Innovation Network programme initiated by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation, the company had accelerated its access into markets with in-depth information such as the United States, leverage business matching opportunities with foreign establishments and eventually set up its operations there.

Moving forward, he said MacroKiosk’s business strategy was to facilitate ease of entries for companies to tap into its solutions through a dynamic business model and the company was also planning to enter more new industry verticals across the 12 countries in which it is already present.

“We will also continue our regional expansion to new markets such as Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia,” he said. — Bernama
