NTT DATA Payment Services and SECAI MARCHE Partner to Build a Smarter, More Connected Foodservice Ecosystem in Malaysia
Collaboration combines digital procurement, payments and financial operations to support HORECA businesses across Malaysia
25 MAY 2026, KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - UALA LUMPUR, 22 APRIL 2026 – NTT DATA Payment Services and SECAI MARCHE Inc. (“SECAI MARCHE”) today announced a strategic collaboration to support the digital transformation of Malaysia’s foodservice and hospitality industry through an integrated platform that streamlines procurement, invoicing, payment collection and financial operations.
The collaboration combines SECAI MARCHE’s fresh produce distribution platform with NTT DATA Payment Services’ digital billing, payment and receivables capabilities under its global brand, ADAPTIS®, enabling end-to-end operational and financial digitalisation for Hotel, Restaurant, and Café (HORECA) businesses across Malaysia.
As Malaysia’s foodservice and hospitality sector continues to grow, businesses are increasingly seeking digital solutions to improve operational efficiency, strengthen cash flow visibility and enhance supply chain coordination. However, many businesses across the HORECA ecosystem still rely on fragmented and manual processes for procurement, invoicing, reconciliation and payment collection, resulting in increased administrative burden and operational inefficiencies.
Through this collaboration, restaurants, hotels, accommodation providers, suppliers and producers will be able to streamline procurement and fresh produce sourcing, digitise invoicing and reconciliation processes, enable seamless payment collection across multiple payment methods, and improve cash flow visibility and financial management while reducing manual administrative workload.
The integrated service is scheduled for launch in July 2026 and is expected to support approximately 400 producers and 2,400 HORECA businesses in Malaysia.
“In Malaysia and across Southeast Asia, businesses are increasingly looking for integrated digital solutions that can simplify operations while strengthening financial efficiency. By combining SECAI MARCHE’s procurement and distribution capabilities with NTT DATA’s payment and receivables expertise under ADAPTIS, we aim to support the digital transformation of the foodservice and hospitality ecosystem while creating greater value across the supply chain,” said Shinichiro Nishikawa, Head of Global Payments and Services Division, Japan, NTT DATA.
“Our mission has always been to build a more efficient and sustainable food supply ecosystem by connecting producers and buyers through technology. Through this collaboration with NTT DATA, we look forward to helping businesses across Malaysia improve operational efficiency while creating a more connected, resilient and sustainable supply chain for the foodservice and hospitality industry,” said Shusaku Hayakawa, CEO & Co-Founder of SECAI MARCHE.
Moving forward, NTT DATA Payment Services and SECAI MARCHE will explore the expansion of digital financial services capabilities on the platform, including supply chain financing and alternative payment solutions such as Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL). By leveraging transaction and invoice data generated across the ecosystem, the collaboration aims to improve access to financing and support sustainable business growth across Malaysia's foodservice and hospitality value chain, with potential expansion into the broader Southeast Asian market.
