The COVID-19 crisis has created drastic changes in the way companies do business. It forced them to seek creative digital solutions to advance the augmentation of human efforts. As a result, the adoption of technology in business innovation is being accelerated immensely across sectors. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese Government took a decisive step towards digitization by issuing a decree on mandatory electronic invoices in both public and private sectors starting from July 1st, 2022. In light of this, Bizzi is pioneering in delivering financial process efficiency to businesses of all sizes through labor-saving accounts payable management.

Nguyen Nguyen, Co-founder & CTO, has spent more than 10 years in leadership roles at outstanding tech companies including global startup factory Rocket Internet and local unicorn VNG. "The fresh fund will be used to enhance the features and functionality of our product, and broaden our network of customers. While Vietnam is still our main focus in the near term, we will also look into expanding to other SEA markets with similar problems to be tackled,” said the two co-founders.

According to Mr. Tatsuya Kanto, Chief Strategy Officer at Money Forward, "Bizzi has been creating a major impact by helping thousands of businesses in their vital digitization efforts. We will support the company in building the largest receivables and payables management platform in Vietnam by sharing the know-how cultivated in the Money Forward Cloud business.”
