SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Singapore-listed real estate agency PropNex has acquired a 70% stake in Ovvy, a tech platform that will allow its agents to provide value-added services to its clients.
PropNex salespersons will be able to provide further services via Ovvy’s hundreds of merchants that are currently on the platform. For instance, consumers can post a job (such as for air-conditioning repair services), get offers, filter through merchants, and “book and pay” merchants based on their needs.
