YYForce Expands 24iFM With Services Marketplace and Lifestyle Advertising

Published

October 8, 2026

Strategic Milestone: Commercial expansion of 24iFM brings estate management, on-demand household services and lifestyle merchant promotions together in one digital platform. Regional Digital Growth: Google, Temasek and Bain & Company’s e-Conomy SEA 2025 report projected Southeast Asia’s digital economy to exceed US$300 billion in gross merchandise value in 2025. Commercial Pathway: Transaction commissions and service fees, together with merchant advertising and promotional revenue, create potential digital revenue streams alongside YYForce’s existing IFM operations.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) (“YYForce” or the “Company”), an AI-enabled workforce management platform and integrated facility management (“IFM”) provider operating across Asia and beyond, today announced the commercial expansion of 24iFM through its Services Marketplace and Lifestyle advertising capabilities (the “Expansion”). The Expansion brings estate administration, on-demand household services and merchant promotions together in one digital platform.

The Expansion introduces two potential digital revenue channels alongside YYForce’s existing IFM operations: commissions or service fees from qualifying completed marketplace transactions, and advertising and promotional revenue from participating merchants. Revenue generation will depend on user adoption, completed transactions and commercial agreements with providers and merchants.

Facility Management to a Digital Services Marketplace

24iFM integrates functions that have traditionally operated through separate systems. The platform brings together everyday estate and facility management functions — including facility bookings, visitor registration, digital forms, payments and estate communications — with an expanding marketplace of household and property-related services.

Through the 24iFM Services Marketplace, users can discover and book participating service providers. YYForce expects to participate in qualifying service activity generated through the platform by charging commissions or service fees, subject to applicable commercial arrangements.

Lifestyle Adds a Digital Advertising Channel

Alongside the Services Marketplace, YYForce is expanding the 24iFM Lifestyle experience to connect users with participating merchants and service providers across categories such as wellness, education, beauty, health, pet services, sports and other lifestyle segments.

The Lifestyle capability is designed to create an additional advertising-based revenue opportunity. Potential advertising products include featured merchant placements, sponsored category positions, promotional campaigns and other forms of paid digital visibility.

Two Monetization Channels in One Digital Ecosystem

The commercial expansion of 24iFM introduces a complementary digital revenue architecture alongside YYForce’s existing facility management operations. The Services Marketplace is designed to support transaction-based commissions or service fees, while Lifestyle is designed to support advertising and promotional revenue from participating merchants.

Together, these capabilities are intended to extend the economic potential of YYForce’s property relationships by creating opportunities for digital commercial activity within the communities it serves.

“24iFM extends our relationship with properties beyond traditional facility management,” said Mike Fu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. “By connecting property users with service providers and merchants through one digital platform, we are building additional transaction and advertising revenue opportunities around our existing IFM footprint. As adoption expands, our objective is to increase the number of commercial interactions that can occur through the 24iFM ecosystem.”

Market Context in Singapore and Southeast Asia

Singapore provides an initial market for property-connected digital services. According to the Singapore Department of Statistics, Singapore had 381,996 condominiums and other apartments as of June 2026. This housing stock provides context for the types of residential communities 24iFM is designed to serve; it does not represent the Company’s onboarded households or customers.

24iFM’s expansion takes place against a backdrop of growing regional digital adoption. According to the e-Conomy SEA 2025 report by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company, Southeast Asia’s digital economy was projected to exceed US$300 billion in gross merchandise value in 2025. This broader market figure provides context for regional digital commerce and is not an estimate of 24iFM’s addressable market or expected revenue.

24iFM’s commercial scope is anchored in its property-connected ecosystem. The platform’s monetization potential will depend on adoption across participating residential and commercial communities, the frequency of completed service bookings, commercial agreements with providers and demand for paid merchant promotions.

Scaling the 24iFM Ecosystem

YYForce intends to progressively expand the range of participating service providers, service categories, merchants and commercial offerings available through 24iFM based on market demand and platform adoption.

As additional properties, users, service providers and merchants participate in the ecosystem, 24iFM is designed to support a growing range of interactions without requiring each new commercial opportunity to operate as a standalone facility management contract.

The commercialization of 24iFM forms part of YYForce’s broader strategy to combine its operational presence with technology, automation and digital platforms. Within this ecosystem, 24iFM is intended to serve as a digital interaction layer connecting facility operations with everyday services and commercial activity.
