The Second Wave: 10 Vertical SaaS Products for Regulated Malaysian Industries

After WeNiaga.com and flagship SaaS products such as HRoem.my and WeAset.com, Data Brain Sdn. Bhd. — the Seremban software company led by Syarifuddin Yusof (Encik Dien) — began a second wave in 2025–2026: 10 vertical SaaS products for regulated Malaysian industries. This article explains what those products are, why regulated industries were chosen, and how they are built and delivered.

What is vertical SaaS?

Vertical SaaS is software as a service built for one specific industry or function, rather than for every type of business. Each product in Data Brain’s second wave is a standalone platform with its own domain, database, bilingual BM/EN interface and compliance workflow — LHDN, DOSH, NPRA, SSM or CIDB, depending on the industry.

What are Data Brain’s 10 vertical SaaS products?

• LeadHub.my — B2B lead distribution for agencies, franchises and dealers, with routing by industry and state, 20 admin modules, Billplz/CHIP and LHDN e-Invoice.
• iLayak.com — financing CRM for Malaysian advisory firms: document checks, DSR calculation, bank-product matching, WhatsApp follow-up and commission.
• GMPCore.my — GMP factory software for OEM manufacturers: production, QC, inventory and sales with full batch traceability; PIC/S GMP, Halal-ready, NPRA and ALCOA+.
• AiAkaun.com — AI bookkeeping for SMEs and freelancers: upload bank statements or snap receipts, and AI classifies every transaction into audit-ready reports.
• KiraKaun.com — a multi-company accounting suite for audit firms and company secretaries, with MPERS-aligned AI classification.
• WeHelper.my — a bilingual helpdesk and IT service desk with automated SLA, Kanban board, knowledge base and API integration.
• OSHmind.com — workplace psychosocial risk assessment aligned to DOSH PRisMA 2024: LEO26 survey, EPC23 checklist and action-plan reporting.
• UrusVendor.com — event vendor management: application screening, category quotas, booth booking with a hold timer, digital contracts and auto invoicing.
• Psikometrik.my — psychometric testing and AI coaching: cohort scoring, coach reports, pre/post effect-size tracking, PDPA-compliant.
• JomReno.com — a renovation and bungalow construction marketplace: SSM/CIDB-verified contractors, a live cost calculator, up to 3 quotes and project progress tracking.

Why did Data Brain choose regulated industries?

Data Brain moved from generic SaaS into regulated verticals because in these industries, compliance is the moat. Each product carries built-in compliance for its industry:

• LHDN e-Invoice — direct MyInvois submission.
• PDPA 2010 — consent and data-retention controls.
• MPERS / MFRS — audit-ready financial reporting.
• PIC/S GMP and NPRA — digital BMR and ALCOA+ audit trail.
• DOSH PRisMA — three-phase psychosocial assessment.
• SSM and CIDB — contractor verification workflow.

How are these vertical SaaS products built?

All of them share a reusable Laravel product core — authentication, billing, roles, audit trail, a bilingual layer and e-Invoice. The build stack is Laravel and PHP 8, Livewire, Alpine and Tailwind, MySQL with Redis Queue, and REST APIs and webhooks, with a bilingual BM/EN interface and light and dark UI. Payments are supported through Billplz, CHIP, ToyyibPay and Stripe, with WooCommerce sync and WhatsApp follow-up.

Do clients own their data?

Yes. Every platform ships with dedicated deployment — the client keeps their own data, domain and daily backups, with a full audit trail. Each product also has its own domain, database and marketing site.

What comes after the second wave?

In the same cycle, Data Brain also delivered three client systems in 2026 under non-disclosure agreements: a Warehouse Management System for an education and retail group, an Order & Supply Management System for a retail supply company, and a Survey & Complaint System for an umrah, haji and tour operator. Four more products are in development: KilangAi.com, AiKedah.com, EncikAi.com and AiPekerja.com.
