OCTIS Services: What Eight Pillars in One Account Covers

What does OCTIS actually cover?

Eight service pillars run from one account: compliance and company secretary; accounting, tax and finance; HR; IT; sales and marketing; legal; strategy and coaching; and capital. That is the full back office of a Malaysian company plus the tools it is run on day to day — CRM, tasks, calendar, invoicing, e-signature, forms and bookings. The point is not the count. It is that they share one set of records.

Why does it matter that the services share records?

Because the same facts drive all of them. Your incorporation date and financial year end generate every statutory deadline. Your customer record is the same record the quote, the invoice and the signed agreement point at. Your payroll drives the monthly statutory contributions. Entered once, those facts stay consistent; entered into four systems, they disagree by the third and someone spends a day a month finding out which is right.

Do I have to take all of it?

No. Most companies start with incorporation or a company secretary transfer and add services as the business actually needs them — bookkeeping when the books matter, payroll at the first hire, legal when the first real contract arrives. Services activate individually. What does not change is that whatever you activate reads from the same company record rather than starting a new one.

Which parts are done by licensed people?

The parts that have to be. The company secretary is a licensed practitioner, because a practising certificate belongs to a person rather than a platform. Tax agent work and audit are the same — an audit opinion has to come from an auditor who did not prepare the accounts. Software handles the administration around those roles; it does not replace them, and any provider suggesting otherwise is describing something else.

What does it cost?

Plans start at RM80 a month on Launch, which includes the licensed company secretary and a registered office, with the CRM, tasks, calendar, invoicing, e-signature, forms and bookings in the same account. Incorporation is RM200 one-time, or free apart from the SSM fee with a valid referral link. Services beyond the plan — bookkeeping, tax, payroll, legal work — are priced separately and listed on the pricing page.

What is priced per service rather than in the plan?

Work whose size genuinely varies by company. Bookkeeping is priced by turnover band because transaction volume drives the effort. Audit is a separate engagement by a different professional. Legal drafting is quoted against scope. The plan covers what is the same for everyone; the rest is quoted because pretending it is uniform produces either an unfair price or an unserviceable one.

Can an existing company move across?

Yes, and it does not require incorporating again. Moving an already-registered company is an appointment change plus a handover of the statutory records, and the timeline depends on whether those records are current. A company whose filings are up to date moves in days. Reading the lodged record first is the step that decides which of those two you are.

Where should a company start?

With whatever is currently held in one person's head, one phone or one spreadsheet — that is the highest-risk record in most small companies and usually the cheapest to move. Historical data can follow later or never. A system that is current for the relationships and obligations that are live this quarter is worth more than one complete for everything and maintained by nobody. See the full list of services.
