Platform brings conversational AI and intelligent matching to frontline workforce operations
SINGAPORE, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) (“YYForce” or the “Company”), a technology-enabled provider of workforce solutions and integrated facility management services, today announced the commercial launch of Yolara AI, an AI-powered workforce intelligence platform that combines algorithmic matching, automated staffing workflows, digital attendance, and operational analytics for frontline enterprises.
The core platform is available in Singapore through web and mobile interfaces. YYForce is introducing a conversational AI voice agent through phased deployments with selected enterprise clients, extending the platform with natural-language staffing requests and AI-assisted workflow initiation.
Yolara AI is being introduced through YYForce’s existing regional operating network, which includes more than 100,000 verified frontline workers and over 500 enterprise partner locations. These figures describe the Company’s existing network and do not represent the number of active Yolara AI users or locations at launch.
AI Powered Workforce Orchestration
Yolara AI is designed to help businesses coordinate flexible staffing across hospitality, food and beverage, retail, logistics, events, and facilities management. Its workforce orchestration workflow connects enterprise demand with worker skills and availability, using AI-assisted matching to support staffing decisions and digital tools to track shift execution.
By bringing these activities into one platform, YYForce aims to reduce repetitive administration and improve coordination between businesses and workers. Actual staffing outcomes depend on worker availability, qualification requirements, and operating conditions.
Core Capabilities Available at Launch
- AI-powered multi-factor matching: Evaluates worker suitability using skills, availability, location, credentials, and previous shift records to support candidate matching for enterprise requirements.
- Conversational worker onboarding: Uses conversational interfaces to support worker information collection, availability confirmation, and communication of shift requirements.
- Automated scheduling workflows: Connects staffing requirements with eligible shift booking, helping businesses coordinate coverage and workers access suitable opportunities.
- Digital attendance and tracking: Uses geofenced check-in and check-out to capture shift attendance data for monitoring and reconciliation.
- Talent Graph and workforce intelligence dashboards: Structures worker profiles, qualifications, and shift histories into a searchable talent information base, with dashboards showing staffing coverage, attendance, and workforce cost metrics.
Phased Deployment of the AI Voice Agent
YYForce is deploying Yolara AI’s conversational voice agent in phases with selected enterprise clients in Singapore. The agent is designed to use natural-language processing (NLP), intent recognition, and information extraction to convert spoken staffing requirements into structured digital requests.
For example, a manager could request: “I need five banquet service crew members tomorrow from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Marina Bay.” The agent is designed to extract headcount, role, location, and shift times, request clarification where information is missing, and prepare the request for the platform’s matching workflow.
The phased deployment is intended to assess usability and operational performance before broader rollout. Voice-agent availability will therefore differ from that of the core platform during the initial launch period.
Connecting AI With Real World Workforce Operations
Yolara AI supports YYForce’s strategy of combining workforce operations with applied AI and digital workflow automation. Its existing worker and enterprise relationships provide a base for introducing the platform, gathering operational feedback, and identifying opportunities for future AI model development.
“Frontline staffing has historically suffered from manual friction, fragmented shift communication, and slow fulfillment cycles. With Yolara AI, we are translating applied artificial intelligence into immediate operational leverage—turning spoken manager requests into fulfilled shifts in minutes. This launch marks a foundational milestone in YYForce’s strategy to build a unified, intelligent workforce ecosystem across the region,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce.
AI Development and Regional Expansion Roadmap
YYForce plans to evaluate expansion into additional Southeast Asian markets based on customer demand, operational readiness, and local requirements. Planned AI enhancements include machine-learning-based demand forecasting, predictive workforce analytics, and agentic workflows connecting conversational requests with enterprise systems. These capabilities form part of the development roadmap and are separate from the core functions available at launch.
