Geofencing Honored at Sao Khue Awards 2025: Innovation Driven by User-Centricity

April 19 – The Geofencing solution has officially been recognized at the 2025 Sao Khue Awards in the Innovation category, marking a major milestone in the application of location-based technology to optimize operations and strengthen user engagement in the digital era.

Surpassing numerous outstanding innovations, Geofencing impressed the judging panel with its high applicability, real-time personalized user experiences, and promising potential to enhance enterprise performance at physical touchpoints.

Leading the Trend in Operational Optimization

Geofencing is a solution that leverages GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile data to create a “virtual geographical boundary” – a virtual perimeter that enables automatic user verification when entering or exiting a designated area. This tool effectively streamlines operations, reduces manual verification time, and speeds up service delivery.

According to Mr. Thang Nguyen – Vice President of Product and Technology at Gimo, “Geofencing is a well-known technology that has been widely adopted by global enterprises. However, in Vietnam, it remains relatively new – especially in products targeting blue-collar workers. With this solution, Gimo aims to optimize operational costs, boost conversion rates, and significantly enhance the experience for this user group.”

Innovation Rooted in Real-World Demands

“Geofencing is not just a tech tool – it’s a bridge between the digital and physical worlds. It helps businesses identify users in real time and space, leading to quick and precise decision-making,” Mr. Thang added.

Thanks to this solution, the approval time for using Gimo has been reduced from several days to just a few minutes. Workers can now access their earned wages instantly, eliminating the dependency on manual verification processes from employers.

Shaping a User-Centric Business Future

More than just a technological advancement, Geofencing serves as a foundation for creating seamless, flexible, and personalized omnichannel experiences. Especially in today’s landscape, where users demand constant and instant engagement, Geofencing stands out as a smart and efficient enabler of those expectations.

Since its rollout, Gimo has recorded over 35,000 successful verifications through Geofencing, achieving a success rate of over 90%. In the first four months of pilot implementation, the number of users opting for Geofencing verification rose by 9.6 times, while the number of pay on-demand transactions increased 12.1 times, significantly contributing to Gimo’s disbursement figures.

The recognition at the Sao Khue Awards 2025 marks a significant milestone, underscoring the continuous innovation efforts of the Geofencing development team and paving the way for expanded partnerships with both domestic and international enterprises.

“Geofencing was built with a concrete goal: to empower businesses with data-driven technology that streamlines processes and boosts competitiveness. Being honored at the Sao Khue Awards validates the solution’s impact and its potential to scale,” Mr. Thang emphasized.

Gimo Named in Top 10 Sao Khue Awards 2025: A Trailblazer in Digital Accessibility Solutions for Vietnamese Workers

On April 19, Gimo App was honored as one of the TOP 10 winners of the Sao Khue Awards 2025 in the category of “Solutions Promoting Digital Access.” This recognition highlights Gimo’s relentless efforts in developing an Employee Benefits Platform tailored for mid- to low-income workers in Vietnam.

After successfully passing multiple rigorous evaluation rounds by the award jury, Gimo stood out as a pioneering Employee Benefits Platform for Vietnamese workers, earning a coveted spot in the Top 10 Sao Khue Awards 2025. This marks a significant milestone in Gimo’s mission to eliminate financial barriers so that no worker has to postpone their dreams or sacrifice essential needs. Through its efforts, Gimo aims to enhance financial well-being and improve the quality of life for millions of Vietnamese workers – particularly those with modest incomes.

The Sao Khue Awards ceremony, organized by the Vietnam Software and IT Services Association (VINASA), recognized Gimo’s outstanding contribution in the category of “Solutions Promoting Digital Access.” With a human-centric approach and data-driven technological innovations at its core, Gimo has not only made a meaningful social impact but also paved a new path forward for Vietnam’s fintech sector.

Championing Digital Financial Access for the Underserved

According to Gimo representatives, the platform is not merely a short-term financial tool – it serves as a comprehensive financial inclusion solution that empowers workers to access essential digital services. In doing so, it encourages habitual use of digital tools for managing daily expenses, and helps foster long-term financial health.

A 2024 report from the Ministry of Labour – Invalids and Social Affairs showed that blue-collar workers account for 44% of national recruitment demand – a group typically earning low incomes and with limited access to traditional financial services. In this context, Gimo emerges as a humane and practical solution, narrowing the gap in digital financial access, reducing reliance on predatory lending, and laying the foundation for sustainable development.

Digital Access: A Basic Right, Not a Privilege

The Sao Khue Awards 2025 jury praised Gimo for both its technological sophistication and strong commitment to community well-being. With technologies such as eKYC, credit scoring, internal and customer service chatbots, and instant transactions, the platform meets high standards for operational efficiency, scalability, and sustainability.

We believe every worker deserves a stable and fulfilling life. Accessing to digital services – especially those related to employee benefits – should not be a privilege for the few, but a basic right for all, regardless of income level, education, or tech proficiency,” shared Mr. Quan Nguyen, Gimo’s Founder and CEO.

A Holistic Solution to Address Societal Challenges

Gimo’s solution addresses more than just short-term needs such as early wage access – it aims to build a user-friendly, accessible employee benefits ecosystem that supports workers in every aspect of their lives.

Having reached over 700,000 workers to date, Gimo now sets its sights on becoming the Employee Benefits Platform for millions of Vietnamese workers – supporting them on their journey toward self-betterment and encouraging them to continue dreaming and striving for a brighter future.

“Being named among the TOP 10 Sao Khue 2025 is not only a recognition of our technological innovation – it is also a motivation for us to continue improving our solution,” Mr. Quan emphasized. “We are working toward a future where all Vietnamese workers have fair, transparent, and sustainable access to digital financial services.”
