THE digital economy is evolving at an unprecedented pace, reshaping how businesses operate and grow.
Success today hinges on the ability to innovate and adapt quickly.
For the past eight years, Wellous Group has been at the forefront of health and wellness, now poised to transform digital commerce with its proprietary AI-driven platform, FIV5S.

Driving growth through visionary leadership
Wellous’ journey began with its founders, Andy Tan and Henry Chin, whose IT backgrounds laid the foundation for a company that blends health and wellness with cutting-edge technology.
Their forward-thinking vision — merging functional food with digital intelligence — embodies a mission to build a holistic health community where users are valued like family and can take pride in being part of the journey.
Wellous combines scientific innovation with premium natural ingredients sourced globally to transform how people approach health and wellness, encapsulated in the impactful motto: Make Health Easier. This vision also inspired the creation of FIV5S, initially created as an internal order management platform to support Wellous’ expanding operations.
Over time, it evolved into an advanced AI-driven ecosystem that integrates customer service, logistics and data analytics, functioning as the operational backbone that drives the company’s growth and innovation.

Igniting global expansion through strategic government partnerships
Wellous recently unveiled the enhanced FIV5S 3.0 at the APAC Technopreneurship Empowerment Conference (ATEC 2024), an event endorsed by the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (Mosti).
Co-organised by Wellous Group and two independent Malaysian think tanks — the Centre of Regional Strategic Studies (Cross) and the Southeast Asia Research Centre for Humanities (Search) — the conference served as a platform for meaningful advancements in technopreneurship and sparked dynamic discussions among industry leaders.
Tan, Wellous Group chief executive officer, shared in his speech at the ATEC 2024 opening ceremony that becoming a world-class brand requires not only developing innovative technology but also securing support from the capital market and government to support global expansion.
He emphasised that strong collaboration among these parties is essential for transforming homegrown brands into global leaders.
“We aim to create an ecosystem where startups and established businesses can thrive, contributing to regional economic growth and technological advancement.”
Tan added that as a market leader, Wellous has witnessed how technology transforms industries, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs and improving sustainability while delivering the best consumer experience.
The latest iteration of FIV5S introduces state-of-the-art AI and data analytics features, providing entrepreneurs with tools for accurate demand forecasting and optimised supply chain operations.
Throughout the event, Wellous leaders shared insights on topics ranging from the tech-talent economy to success stories and key lessons, reaffirming the company’s commitment to innovation and future growth in digital commerce.
Building a synergistic ecosystem by fusing wellness and technology
While Wellous is recognised for its AI-driven innovations, its foundation is built on creating functional food products that enhance health and well-being.
The flagship Tigrox Series, particularly the Tiger Milk King featuring the highly regarded tiger milk mushroom known for its respiratory health benefits, exemplifies the harmonious fusion of science and nature central to Wellous’ mission.
This unique combination of expertise sets Wellous apart. Unlike traditional IT companies, Wellous excels in both product manufacturing and digital commerce, allowing it to provide holistic support to its sales and distribution networks.
FIV5S further strengthens this ecosystem by offering digital entrepreneurs with tools to market products effectively and efficiently, bridging wellness and technology seamlessly.
Fostering an AI-driven community for entrepreneurial success
