Singapore, Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ohmyhome Ltd. (NASDAQ: OMH, “Ohmyhome”), a one-stop-shop property technology platform providing end-to-end property solutions and services to buy, sell, rent, and renovate homes, as well as property management services for condominiums in Singapore, and Webuy Global Ltd. (Nasdaq: WBUY, “Webuy”), an emerging community e-commerce retailer with a focus on grocery and travel in Southeast Asia, today announced a strategic collaboration to cross-sell both companies’ respective products and services across Singapore.
In a joint launch event held on January 8, 2024, Rhonda Wong, CEO and Co-founder of Ohmyhome, and Vincent Xue, CEO and Co-founder of Webuy, unveiled a series of collaborative partnership initiatives aimed at enhancing the customer experience and community engagement. The event was hosted at the Ohmyhome office headquarters at 11 Lorong 3 Toa Payoh, Jackson Square Proptech Innovation Centre Block B, #04-17, Singapore 319579, with the participation of Webuy management and its Group Leaders, who are responsible for a group of customers within their respective geographical communities from Singapore and play an important role in upholding the Company’s community-oriented business model.
Key initiatives include:
- Integration of Ohmyhome’s Services into Webuy Communities: Ohmyhome's service offerings and property listings will be integrated into Webuy communities through its Group Leaders, where Group Leaders within each community would be responsible for a group of customers within their respective geographical location. This collaboration will facilitate off-market listings and provide exclusive benefits for Webuy’s customers and Group Leaders, including Ohmyhome’s brokerage and renovation services.
- Webuy's 'Group Buy' Services for Ohmyhome's Homeowners: Webuy will introduce its unique “group buy” service, offering a diverse range of daily products such as groceries and travel, to thousands of homeowners serviced by Ohmyhome. This initiative aims to provide convenience and value while helping new homeowners integrate into their local communities. As of June 30, 2023, Ohmyhome had transacted over 14,500 properties and had over 5,800 units under management, and around 200,000 monthly active users across mobile applications and websites.
- Offline Expansion Support: Ohmyhome, leveraging its expertise and network, will support Webuy and its Group Leaders in sourcing new storefronts. This collaborative effort aligns with Webuy's plans to open 100 offline stores strategically positioned around major communities in Singapore, marking a significant step in Webuy’s Online-to-Offline (“O2O”) business model.
Commenting on this collaboration, Vincent Xue, CEO and Co-founder of Webuy, stated, “We are excited to partner with Ohmyhome, as it aligns with our mission of maximizing value within our communities. Ohmyhome has a proven track record, offering its suite of brokerage services at a 1% commission rate, which will result in significant cost savings for our customers. In addition, we plan to leverage their brokerage service to assist our Group Leaders as they expand their offline retail footprint across Singapore. Moreover, we look forward to offering our full suite of services to their expansive customer base. Together, our goal is to make a wider range of services become more accessible to homeowners and communities, while fostering a sense of unity and support within local neighborhoods.”
Likewise, Rhonda Wong, CEO and Co-founder of Ohmyhome, added, “This collaboration allows both companies to leverage on our respective broad customer bases, thereby increasing our reach and complementing each other’s service offerings centered around homes and communities. Webuy’s ‘group buy’ model provides great opportunities for our customers to interact within their communities as they move from one home to their next.”
