Tokyo — October 25, 2024 — (The official press release has been published here) Asteria Corporation (Head Office: Tokyo, Japan; CEO HIRANO (Pina) Yoichiro; Tokyo Stock Exchange: 3853, hereinafter “Asteria”) and SendQuick Pte Ltd. (Head Office: Singapore; CEO: Wong Jeat Shyan, hereinafter “SendQuick”), a leading unified API platform for messaging services, announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize messaging integration. This initial collaboration with Gravio aims to provide secure, diversified communication solutions to Southeast Asian and Japanese markets, marking the beginning of a broader partnership, with plans to expand into other Asteria products such as Asteria Warp, Platio, and Handbook X.
SendQuick is a Singaporean provider of secure business mobile messaging solutions that help organizations strengthen business processes, improve productivity, and optimize communication with customers and stakeholders. Their unified messaging API platform “SendQuick.io” integrates seamlessly with various applications and systems, connecting them to all popular chat messengers and collaboration channels.
Asteria’s Singapore subsidiary, Asteria Technology Pte. Ltd. (hereinafter “Asteria Technology”）, is the developer and sales office of Gravio, a powerful “node computing platform” that connects devices, edge computers and cloud services without coding. Gravio’s latest updates enable efficient data collection and integration from diverse locations including sensors, AI cameras and generative AI services.
After exploring potential synergies at an exhibitor event in Singapore, the two companies recognized that together Gravio and SendQuick can enhance cross-border and cross-platform communication between humans and technologies. This partnership allows customers to seamlessly connect solutions, services, and messaging platforms without requiring complex coding.
Modern business operations often involve multiple layers of applications and complex communication methods between employees and customers. While Gravio addresses the need for system-wide aggregation and integration, existing applications often require bi-directional last mile communication between the systems and users.
As common messaging platforms differ across regions, SendQuick’s unified messaging solution not only addresses the need to support multiple platforms to cater to each market but also enables seamless integration between Gravio and the messenger of choice.
This partnership empowers Gravio users to simplify messaging integration by connecting popular messengers such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Slack and Microsoft Teams, all through SendQuick’s unified API. Users can efficiently build better solutions across various messaging platforms, improving communication with customers and employees.

Asteria Technology and SendQuick’s collaboration will initially target Southeast Asia and Japan, leveraging each other’s advanced AI/IoT technology and expanding connectivity options to popular messaging platforms worldwide.
Asteria will also explore further integration opportunities to enhance its other products with SendQuick’s capabilities. Potential integration plans include connecting business applications and messaging platforms with Asteria Warp to deliver notifications regarding operational activities based on specific system outputs. Additionally, Platio could be integrated to facilitate real-time information and image sharing on-site via smartphones for various business processes.
