Malaysian Vision AI Firm Tapway Expands into Indonesia

Tapway Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian emerging Vision AI platform developer, today announced the appointment of three prominent Indonesian companies, PT Innovation Cloud Services (ICS Compute), PT Metrodata Electronics, Tbk (Metrodata), and PT Syspex Multitech, as its official channel partners. The appointments were formalized through the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) at the Embassy of Malaysia’s office in Jakarta recently. 

As channel partners, ICS Compute, Metrodata, and Syspex will be responsible for distributing SamurAI licenses, leading implementation efforts, and providing long-term support for customers in Indonesia.

These agreements mark a significant milestone in Tapway’s regional expansion as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV), enabling localized distribution and deployment of its Vision AI solutions across Indonesia’s retail, manufacturing, logistics, FMCG, and smart infrastructure sectors. The mover also signals a strong regional demand for Vision AI. 

Tapway’s SamurAI Vision AI platform offers off-the-shelf and customizable AI models, with no coding required, to support compliance, productivity, safety, and customer experience enhancement. 

Lim Chee How, CEO of Tapway, said, “Indonesia represents one of Southeast Asia’s most promising markets for Vision AI. Our partnerships with ICS Compute, Metrodata, and Syspex are the result of two years of groundwork, mutual trust, and a shared vision to make AI adoption scalable and impactful. The MoUs are not just a formality, but they mark the start of real-world transformations across logistics, retail, and manufacturing landscapes in Indonesia.”

PT Innovation Cloud Services (ICS Compute) will focus on deploying Vision AI in use cases that demand real-time automation and seamless system integration. The Company connects AI-powered camera data directly into business systems, enabling real-time responses, faster decisions, and measurable improvements across operations.

Budhi Wibawa, CEO of ICS Compute, said, “We see Vision AI as a way to make operations smarter, not just by seeing, but by acting. By connecting ground-level insights to real-time systems, we help businesses respond faster and work more efficiently.”

Meanwhile, PT Metrodata Electronics, Tbk will spearhead Vision AI deployment across retail and manufacturing verticals through its extensive ICT networks.

Hariyo Nusantoro, General Manager, PT Metrodata Electronics, Tbk, said, “Tapway’s Vision AI solutions bring immense potential for Indonesian enterprises seeking visibility and automation. We're excited to collaborate in unlocking smarter digital transformation for our clients.” 

PT Syspex Multitech, a key player in industrial packaging, logistics, and warehousing systems, will extend Tapway’s reach into safety and efficiency-focused factory environments.

Erwin Gunawan, Director, PT Syspex Multitech. “Tapway’s Vision AI isn’t just about building smarter systems — it’s about enabling safer, more compliant, and sustainable operations. This collaboration aligns perfectly with Syspex’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence. With our strong presence in Malaysia and Singapore too, we’re excited to explore and expand our partnership with Tapway across the region moving forward.”

The MoUs pave the way for go-to-market planning, pilot deployments, partner enablement, and eventual long-term agreements, with total sales projections estimated at around USD1 million over the next year. 

Tapway’s SamurAI Vision AI platform is currently deployed in over 2,000 locations across Southeast Asia. With an ambition to double that figure within two years, the company is actively scaling across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and now Indonesia, reinforcing its position as a regional Vision AI contender.

“Vision AI is no longer a future concept. It's now a mission-critical technology,” added Chee How. 

As Southeast Asia accelerates its digital transformation, Tapway remains committed to making Vision AI accessible, scalable, and locally relevant, delivering real-time visual insights that drive smarter operations, safer workplaces, and enhanced customer experiences.

“We're proud to be working hand-in-hand with trusted partners in Indonesia who understand the local business landscape and are ready to shape the future of automation,” Chee How concluded.
