Ascott revamps tech backbone to power agentic commerce shift

It will collaborate with Accenture, Amadeus and EHL Hospitality Business School.

Ascott Limited, the lodging arm of CapitaLand Investment, is overhauling its tech infrastructure to support artificial intelligence-driven agentic commerce.

By integrating AI-ready systems into its core operations, Ascott aims to stay ahead of a shifting market where autonomous AI agents handle the planning and booking.

According to a press release, collaborations with Accenture, Amadeus and EHL Hospitality Business School will advance this AI-ready transformation.

Ascott seeks to accumulate data, operating experience and process efficiencies that would compound over time.

Ascott and Accenture will design the foundational architecture to create value at speed through enabling seamless communication across Ascott’s core systems.

The company will be pilot testing model context protocol frameworks, large language model (LLM)-enabled applications and early-stage unified commerce concepts.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
