Onesight Technology: Growth Journey in Asia

Category: Global ExpansionIndustry: AI, Facility Management, Sustainability

Background

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Shanghai, Onesight Technology is a national high-tech enterprise and a leader in construction technology. Its core products integrate BIM (Building Information Modeling), AR (Augmented Reality), and AI technologies to provide intelligent management tools for complex construction projects. From its inception, the company has targeted overseas markets, having already expanded into Mainland China, Japan, and Hong Kong, and is planning further expansion into Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Challenge

  1. Market Entry and Compliance: Overseas markets impose strict requirements on data security and intellectual property protection, requiring compliance with local regulations (e.g., localized cloud data storage).
  2. Localization Requirements: Due to significant regional differences in construction standards, workflow, and client expectations, the product must undergo deep adaptation.
  3. Lack of Ecosystem Resources: The company lacks an established network of government and corporate partners in Singapore and Southeast Asia, making it difficult to build trust quickly.
  4. Business Model Validation: As an innovative industrial software provider, the overseas market has limited awareness of its value, and proof-of-concept through flagship projects is needed to demonstrate feasibility.

Value Delivered

  1. Local Resource Matching: Helped OneSight Technology build technical collaborations with innovation-driven construction tech firms in Singapore, facilitating rapid integration into the local innovation ecosystem.
  2. Market Entry Support: Leveraged Singapore’s startup-friendly government policies to obtain high-standard market endorsements and enhance company’s capabilities.
  3. Proof-of-Concept Acceleration: Validated product-market fit in Singapore through PoC project matching and partnership development.

Results

  1. Market Deployment: Delivered over 10 overseas projects in 2023, with partners spanning Japan, Hong Kong, and other regions.
  2. Technical Recognition: The product has been validated by major Japanese construction firms (such as Takenaka Corporation) and deployed in complex landmark projects.
  3. Ecosystem Development: Established a long-term partner network in Singapore, laying a solid foundation for future expansion across Southeast Asia.
