If you're already on StoreHub in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Cebu, or Metro Manila, you don't need to leave it. You need a layer that actually moves the retention number, in the channels your customers already use — WhatsApp groups, TNG eWallet, GCash, Maya. That's what PEKO does. This page lays out where each tool wins and how the two work together.

TL;DR: StoreHub = your POS, menu, inventory, Beep QR ordering. PEKO = the AI that turns those orders into repeat visits via WhatsApp + TNG + GCash.; StoreHub's built-in loyalty is stamp-card mechanics; PEKO writes the actual messages, picks the right channel per customer, and learns what wins them back.; Drop PEKO on top of StoreHub in one afternoon — no POS migration, no retraining staff.

What is StoreHub? Cloud POS + inventory + basic loyalty popular with 15k+ Malaysian and Filipino F&B and retail merchants; bundles its own QR ordering (Beep) and a stamp-card style loyalty add-on.

Choose PEKO when

You already run StoreHub for POS / inventory and the built-in loyalty just isn't moving repeat visits.
You want WhatsApp Business, TNG eWallet, GCash, or Maya as the rewards channel — not a separate app customers have to download.
You need the AI to write the campaign for you because there is no marketing team.
You want to see which customers will churn this week, before they do.
You operate 1–10 outlets and need to be live the same afternoon you sign up.

Choose StoreHub when

You don't have a POS yet — start with StoreHub, layer PEKO later.
You need deep stock-keeping, recipe costing, supplier purchase orders.
You want a single vendor for hardware, payments, and the order screen.
Your loyalty needs are limited to stamp cards and you don't run win-back campaigns.

FAQ

Do I have to replace StoreHub to use PEKO?

No. PEKO is built to sit on top of StoreHub. We pull your order data via export or API, run churn prediction on it, and send WhatsApp / TNG / GCash messages on your behalf. StoreHub keeps running the till.

Is StoreHub's built-in loyalty enough?

It's enough for stamp cards and basic point accrual. It does not predict churn, doesn't pick a channel per customer, and doesn't write the message. If you want retention on autopilot — not just a punch card — you need a layer like PEKO on top.

How does pricing compare in MYR and PHP?

PEKO starts at RM 1,499 / year in Malaysia and ₱17,900 / year in the Philippines — flat, annual, no per-transaction cut. StoreHub is a monthly POS subscription plus hardware; they're priced differently because they're different products.

Can PEKO send WhatsApp messages in Bahasa Malaysia or Tagalog?

Yes. The AI writes in the language your customers speak — Bahasa Malaysia, English, Tagalog, Taglish, Bisaya. Templates are pre-approved for WhatsApp Business policy.

What about TNG eWallet and GCash rewards?

PEKO pushes reward codes directly to TNG (Malaysia) and GCash / Maya (Philippines). Customers redeem in the wallet they already use — no separate loyalty app to install.

I'm not on StoreHub yet — what should I do?

If you don't have a POS, start with whichever cloud POS fits your hardware budget (StoreHub, Loyverse, Square are all fine). Add PEKO once you've got 30 days of order history — that's when AI churn prediction starts being useful.
