WIDEBED Announces 3 New Short-Stay Choices In Johor Bahru In Latest Expansion
WIDEBED is experiencing strong growth in their operations throughout the Johor Bahru region and has announced three new partnerships for short stay rentals.
Johor Bahru, Malaysia, February 14, 2018 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- WIDEBED has announced partnerships with three new owners and developers to offer more staycation choices in Johor Bahru. The new partnerships will allow WIDEBED to offer a greater range of short-term rental choices in the region than ever before while providing the owners and developers with a hands-off revenue stream. Each comes with unique features and facilities in convenient locations, ensuring a perfect match for every traveler’s needs.
The first addition is Pinnacle Tower, offering 38 stories of luxury serviced apartments, replete with an infinity pool, gym, and more. The developer appointed WIDEBED to make a selection of the apartments available for short-term lease. In the center of Johor Bahru, its low population density makes it a quiet oasis amidst the vibrancy of the city beyond.
The second is Setia Sky 88, where individual owners, with the support of the developer, appoint WIDEBED to lease their apartments. This makes family-friendly facilities available including sauna, steam room, gym, karaoke, music room, and even a private cinema. The tallest building in the city also offers the most breathtaking panoramic skylines.
The final addition is the Country Garden Danga Bay. WIDEBED is in partnership with developer-appointed RT Management, to manage short-term rentals for the luxury serviced apartments which come with access to a clubhouse, private beach, and ready access to its own mall making it perfect for shopaholics. Danga Bay is perfect for those who wish to maximize the vacation elements of their staycation.
WIDEBED guest Miss Ong remarked, “I really love the seamless short stay experience provided by WIDEBED. Booking is easy and the whole experience is near perfect. The check in and check out process was simple and fast. We had zero wait time throughout our stay. The place is clean and well equipped with all the conveniences required for daily living, including washer and dryer. It’s a great choice for a short stay compared to others.”

WIDEBED Partner With Ezee To Accelerate Business Growth With New IT Initiative
WIDEBED has announced a collaboration with Ezee to advance its booking and channel management system in alignment with WIDEBED’s 2018 focus.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, February 12, 2018 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- WIDEBED is set to expand their marketing channels across industry-known names like Agoda, Booking.com, Expedia, Asia Rooms, HomeAway and more, thanks to a new partnership with eZee Technosys, a hospitality IT solution provider. The collaboration brought to international guest utmost convenience to access to WIDEBED’s services through the common booking platforms that are already familiar with. eZee’s partnership with regionally popular Online Travel Agencies including Wotif from Australia and Ctrip from China will also further help WIDEBED’s branding to set foot into these regional markets across the globe.
eZee’s technological advantages will enable WIDEBED to further improve operational efficiency and cross-channel inventory management. By integrating all booking management functions into a single unified platform, WIDEBED can eliminate typical cross-platform challenges including room rate parity maintenance, over/double-booking of properties, and information update syncing.
Teams from both WIDEBED and eZee are looking to develop a comprehensive management system that elevate short stay management operational efficiency.
In addition to their management platform, the company is also developing a mobile application for operational communications within the team, helping to create a more seamless experience for staff, property owners and guests. The app will allow staff to manipulate details, make updates and check inventory status on the go. CEO Ivan Chong sees this to be especially helpful as anytime a new marketing campaign is to be rolled out, the team can easily update the room’s rate through the smartphone app, skipping the hassle to update multiple platforms manually.
This new partnership is only the beginning of the company’s plans for greater technological integration. In an earlier announcement, the team was developing a short stay management system that provide real-time transparency for multi-properties management. With eZee’s technology onboard, WIDEBED’s management system will also be enhanced with a real-time rental status for the owner, with automated owner statements and report generation, enabling property owners to get precise information with ease, and offer industry leading transparency to clients.
Ivan explained, “We are delighted to announce our partnership with eZee, as a major stepping stone in achieving the objectives outlined in our 2018 focus. We aspire to provide quality short-stay experiences for every guest, while protecting the benefits to the property owner. That is the driving force behind the optimization of our internal capabilities. Doing so ensures we enhance our service quality for all parties. We look forward to taking our guests and property owners’ experiences to the next level of satisfaction.”

Celebrating The Success Of Maxx ‘N Go, Founder Patrick Shares His Adventurous Journey To Success
Maxx ‘N Go Founder Patrick Tam reveals significant decisions made through intuitive foresight to rise as an entrepreneur and grow a company that best serves its customers.
February 02, 2018 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- Patrick Tam is a proud Malaysian and true to his adventurous nature, he is always charging forward in both his career and in his passion as a racer.
But success never came easy and his humble journey began in his first small entrepreneurial venture. He has always had such a passion for the automotive industry till 2001, when he realized his desire to be part of it and started a car modification shop. This venture has helped him understand the joy of bringing value to his customers and became the first stepping stone that propelled him into the path of entrepreneurship.
By the year 2002, he began to search for ways to bring his company to greater heights. Never having been one to turn down a challenge, Patrick saw the possibility of profiting through what was considered an uncharted course then — the Internet. Through alibaba.com, Patrick brought car part products from China to the US.
Recognizing the potential of the US market as the biggest automotive market in the world and the need for better quality products, he kick-started his own production line and created the brand Forged Racing. 2 years later, Patrick made his mark and became the first Malaysian to set up an automotive racing part company in the US.
The Industry-loved Forged Racing aluminium radiator was founded by Patrick Tam.
Still unsatisfied by his progress, he wanted to serve more customers by providing them with the best he could. As a racer himself, he understood how using the best motor oil can help maximize the vehicle’s performance. Patrick’s next course of action was clear, and he ventured into launching his own brand of motor lubricant oil in 2010, which expanded into the Chinese and Malaysian markets, in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Conventional has never been Patrick’s modus operandi as can be seen by his expansion from west to east, and this continued when he realized that the car servicing model itself needed an overhaul.
“The customer always has to make the first move. They have to make a reservation and then they have to drive their cars to the workshops. Instead of that, why can’t we make it easier and bring the service to them,” said Patrick.
The idea of Maxx ‘N Go was conceived at that point. He believed that the next wave of change would hit the consumer behavior market, and bringing further digitization to the automotive industry, he created a platform to bring on-demand car servicing to customers.

Besides growing himself as an entrepreneur, Patrick expresses his incredible passion for the automotive industry through his participation in motorsports. Having never missed an opportunity to race since 2003, he brought home the championship once again at his latest race, the Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival 2017.

When asked about the difficulty in juggling both his businesses and his passion to drive, Patrick said: “At first glance, racing and doing business might look like 2 separate fields of studies but for me, I treat them the same, at least spiritually. To excel, both racing and doing business requires firm dedication, extreme focus, and perseverance. And these traits are exactly what you need to thrive in the automotive industry.”
Patrick Tam receives Golden Entrepreneur Award in 2017.
Having recently closed their seed round, securing RM15,000,000 from a group of individual investors from Malaysia, China, and the United States. Patrick and his team at Maxx ‘n Go are committed to bringing more value to consumers in the region in 2018 through some major initiatives, such as the launch of co-branded service centers and car leasing projects.
Commenting on the successful round, Patrick expressed, “Just like on a racetrack, the world is moving fast and consumer’s demands is shifting fast. This is why I’m always seen on the move, challenging the norm, and leading the market. The same goes with Maxx ‘N Go. 2018 will be the year we charge ahead and this is just the beginning of it.”
For an entrepreneur living on the fastlane, this seems like an appropriate response to paint his aspirations for 2018.
Serial entrepreneur, Patrick Tam.
