WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH
Multi-market APAC execution. No single execution record that holds up under audit.
Today, without Cognitiva
- Finance team manually reconciles approvals, platform payments, and ERP entries across 30+ tools and 6+ markets. 16–24 hours per cycle.
- 3–5 day delay between deliverable approval and invoice clearance. Working capital locked across multi-currency portfolios.
- Tax metadata (GST Australia, GST India, PPN Indonesia, JCT Japan, GST Singapore) reconstructed retroactively per market. Audit risk.
- Disputes about whether an approval happened resolve on screenshots across WhatsApp, LINE, KakaoTalk, WeChat. No evidentiary record.
- Data privacy: PDPA (Singapore/Thailand), PDPA (India), Privacy Act (Australia) — consent not documented at source.
With Cognitiva
- Every approval — WhatsApp, LINE, KakaoTalk, email, Slack — captured as a signed, time-stamped evidentiary event.
- Reconciliation approaches zero. Finance team redirected to higher-value work. Cash flow freed the same day.
- Tax metadata captured per payment event per market. Year-end reporting becomes a query, not a multi-market fire drill.
- Disputes resolve in minutes. The execution record is cryptographically signed and shared between agency and brand.
- PDPA/Privacy Act consent documented at brief acceptance. DPO can respond to a data request in hours.

WHAT YOUR BRAND CLIENTS NOW GET
Every campaign you bill — auditable before the invoice arrives.
Brand procurement and finance teams across APAC increasingly require documentary proof that agency-delivered work happened as commissioned. Cognitiva gives your clients cryptographic proof — and makes your agency the one they can't replace.
The approval record.
Who approved the deliverable, when, via which tool, against which version of the brief. Cryptographically signed. Neither party can amend it after the fact. Disputes resolve at the record, not in a LINE group chat.
The payment trail.
Every Stripe payment linked to the specific approval that authorised it. Tax metadata (GST/PPN/JCT/VAT) per event per jurisdiction. Your CFO and your client's CFO see the same object. No reconciliation gap across markets.
The compliance dossier.
PDPA/Privacy Act consent, advertising disclosure status (#ad, #PR, #广告) per post per platform, tax invoice metadata — assembled automatically as the campaign runs. Available on demand. One-click export per jurisdiction.
The competitive moat.
Agencies that deliver auditable execution records across multiple APAC jurisdictions simultaneously become the agencies that win enterprise procurement qualification. Your record is your retention tool.
THE PROOF CALL
45 minutes. We model your number.
We run the reconciliation saving calculation against your actual campaign volume and market mix on the call. No deck. No general ROI claim. Your APAC portfolio, your CFO, your number. You leave with a signed model in your inbox before the call ends.
