Fushi Tech has entered into a strategic partnership with PlayMade, a leading handcrafted tea beverage brand in Southeast Asia, to deploy its proprietary customer relationship management platform, Fynix, across PlayMade’s digital ecosystem. The collaboration is aimed at strengthening PlayMade’s customer engagement, loyalty economics, and data-driven marketing capabilities as competition intensifies across the region’s food and beverage sector.

Under the partnership, Fushi will provide PlayMade with an integrated CRM solution that includes a customized branded mobile application and an online ordering system. The rollout is designed to consolidate customer data, streamline membership operations, and enable more precise, automated marketing across PlayMade’s growing store network.

Southeast Asia: A Digitally Ready, Operationally Complex Market

Southeast Asia represents one of the world’s most dynamic consumer markets, with a population exceeding 600 million and widespread adoption of mobile payments and app-based commerce. Yet for many food and beverage brands, growth has become increasingly constrained by rising customer acquisition costs, declining conversion efficiency, and limited visibility into marketing return on investment.

Fushi’s strategy is to help merchants transition away from volume-led, traffic-dependent growth toward customer lifetime value–driven models. By treating customer interactions as long-term digital assets rather than transactional touchpoints, the company positions its technology as core operating infrastructure rather than a peripheral marketing tool.

Fynix: From CRM Software to Customer Growth Infrastructure

At the center of the partnership is Fynix, Fushi’s all-in-one intelligent customer loyalty and marketing platform. The system integrates membership management, automated marketing workflows, customer analytics, and loyalty incentives into a single operating environment, reducing fragmentation across tools and data sources.

Unlike traditional CRM systems that focus primarily on data storage, Fynix is structured around a closed-loop growth architecture—capturing consumer behavior, converting it into actionable insights, and triggering personalized engagement designed to increase repeat purchases and customer lifetime value. The platform also supports a wide range of marketing instruments, including prepaid value programs, gift cards, and gamified engagement mechanisms, allowing brands to experiment with low-cost, high-conversion loyalty strategies.

For PlayMade, the implementation enables a shift toward real-time, data-led decision-making, offering clearer visibility into membership performance, campaign effectiveness, and consumer behavior patterns across channels.

Strengthening Competitive Position Through Digital Differentiation

As a well-established tea beverage brand in Southeast Asia, PlayMade operates in a market where product differentiation is increasingly difficult and customer loyalty is hard-won. The integration of Fushi’s CRM platform equips the brand with a more sophisticated customer operations layer—automating engagement while maintaining personalization at scale.

In a further step toward digital differentiation, Fushi is preparing to launch an AI Agent–powered ordering system for PlayMade. Embedded within the PlayMade app, the system will allow customers to interact via voice or text, receive personalized recommendations, and complete purchases through conversational interfaces—reducing friction in ordering and potentially improving conversion rates.

A Broader Signal for the SaaS-Driven F&B Economy

The partnership highlights a broader shift underway in Southeast Asia’s food and beverage industry, where leading brands are increasingly adopting advanced SaaS platforms to build defensible competitive advantages. Rather than relying solely on store expansion or promotional intensity, brands are investing in digital infrastructure that supports retention, personalization, and operational efficiency.

For Fushi Tech, the PlayMade deployment represents a meaningful expansion of its footprint in Southeast Asia and reinforces the positioning of Fynix as a scalable customer growth platform for consumer-facing enterprises. As more brands prioritize retention economics and data-driven engagement, such partnerships are likely to define the next phase of competition in the region’s digitally enabled consumer markets.
