Sapo Beauty and PEKO solve different problems. Sapo Beauty is a point-of-sale system. PEKO is the AI loyalty and retention layer that sits on top — predicting which guests are about to stop coming back and automating personalised win-back. This page compares them honestly so you can decide whether to run one, the other, or both.
- TL;DR
- PEKO is a loyalty layer; Sapo Beauty stays your system of record.
- PEKO adds AI churn prediction + automated Zalo OA / email / SMS win-back that Sapo Beauty doesn't.
- Vietnam-first: Zalo OA, Momo/VNPay and Vietnamese-language journeys are native.
What is Sapo Beauty? Sapo's POS suite covering F&B and beauty with cashier, inventory and basic stamp-card loyalty.
Choose PEKO when
- You want an AI loyalty layer that sits on top of their POS — not to switch your existing tool.
- You need AI to flag customers who haven't rebooked in their usual window and re-engage them automatically.
- You want Zalo OA, Momo/VNPay vouchers and Vietnamese-language journeys built in.
- You want a free tier and 15-minute setup, not a long procurement cycle.
Choose Sapo Beauty when
- You don't yet have a POS and want Sapo Beauty's core product as your system of record.
- Your priority is in-store cashier and inventory more than retention automation.
- You're happy to run loyalty as a manual side-task inside Sapo Beauty rather than letting AI drive it.
