The Singapore marketLean teams, high expectations, one messaging app.
Manpower is one of the largest costs for Singapore SMEs, and front-desk roles are hard to fill. Customer expectations, meanwhile, are set by the most responsive businesses in the city: a WhatsApp enquiry sent at 10pm is expected to get a real answer, not an auto-reply saying the office is closed.
The enquiries that eat staff time are repetitive — trial-class slots at a tuition centre, clinic availability, whether a unit is still on the market, when a renovation firm can visit. Alfred answers those in English from your own knowledge base, books into your calendar and passes everything else to your team with context. It does not converse in Mandarin, Malay or Tamil yet.
Retail rents make every square metre accountable. Fovea connects to existing cameras over RTSP and measures zone counts and dwell time per outlet, processed on-site, with an end-of-day report per store.
