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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
