Qualica, a subsidiary of Japan’s leading digital transformation company, TIS INTEC Group, has announced a groundbreaking strategic investment in Taiwan-based WiXtar, a prominent player in the Food & Beverage (F&B) solutions sector. This partnership aims to accelerate digital transformation within Southeast Asia’s rapidly growing F&B industry, which is part of the expansive $480 billion East Asia-Pacific market.

Expanding Market Influence Through Tri-Nation Alliance

TIS INTEC Group, recognized as a pioneer in Japan’s digital transformation initiatives, leverages its expertise through Qualica to enhance FB Technology and retail technology. Serving over 150 global brands and 20,000 locations—including major international coffee and fast-food chains—Qualica is poised to make significant impacts in the region.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the combined FB Technology markets of Japan, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia surpassed $480 billion in 2024, with Southeast Asia projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. Acknowledging this opportunity, Qualica’s investment in WiXtar will drive market growth and expand their footprint across East Asia.

AI-Powered Solutions for High-Growth Markets

WiXtar is at the forefront of integrating AI-driven applications, OMO solutions, and cross-border data platforms to foster business growth and enhance operational efficiency. As the parent company of Singapore-based Epoint Systems, WiXtar currently supports over 47,000 stores across Taiwan and Southeast Asia, holding substantial market shares of 20% in Taiwan and 30% in Singapore. This alliance introduces Qualica’s innovative TastyQube Growth (TQG) F&B management system to the region, which combines smart sales forecasting with POS data for optimized ordering and inventory management. By dynamically adjusting supplies based on factors like weather, holidays, and promotions, TQG significantly enhances operational efficiency and reduces costs.

“Managing raw material waste is a critical challenge for FB Technology operators,” stated May Kang, CEO of WiXtar. “TQG’s capabilities, paired with WiXtar and Epoint’s POS systems and data platforms, provide seamless solutions for local and cross-border operations, ensuring businesses remain competitive in a dynamic market.”
