After Lunar New Year, WisePass has planned a series of events during the year 2022 to grow its network of partners across Vietnam and the rest of South East Asia. That officially started on February 17th 2022 with the Founder’s Night Drinking Edition #2 at Summer Experiment with The Singleton.

What is the second venue on WisePass?

Summer Experiment is now officially the second active venue on the app. It allows to to redeem a bottle every single night. At the moment to redeem a bottle, you will be required to have at least 100 PASS which means you will need the Founder plan priced at 5,000,000 VND per month.

The goal of the lifestyle app is to grow back quickly 100 outlets within 18 months across South East Asia to start flowing redemptions and gear toward the rest of the world and become a global drinking platform.

What does PASS mean?

PASS is simply a point system defining the access of a subscriber to a product, service or event. If a subscriber has enough PASS to redeem an item, he or she will be able to select and confirm the item at the venue. The reason why PASS was born in 2019 was because each item has a different cost and enables WisePass cost management system to be stronger.

Our system sets the access based on the cost incurred by each member in order to make sure we have a set monthly cost that can’t be over the revenue we collect monthly from the subscription.

Which language WisePass to run the platform?

Some questions were asked about the technology and how the platform operates now compared to the previous years. WisePass is now running 100% on JavaScript and focuses on partnering with businesses for future integrations through API rewards

The focus on changing re-writing the whole system came up during the lockdown with the tech team that suggested to approach the platform from a single language that would enable the company to release faster updates and features

Some new features?

One of the request from some subscribers was the possibility to access more exclusive bottles even though the cost of that item would be higher.

WisePass is working to allow that based on the PASS system. Subscribers would need to have more PASS to access such items and simply can purchase the extra PASS necessary when they have scanned the QR code at the venue.
