What is Pentas?
An introduction to the Pentas platform and what it does.
What is Pentas?
Pentas is a comprehensive competition and jury management platform operated by Digit360 Sdn Bhd. It is designed to streamline every stage of an academic or innovation competition β from participant registration all the way through to certificate issuance.
Who is Pentas for?
- Schools β primary and secondary schools in Malaysia that review and approve their students' participation
- Participants β students and researchers who register teams and submit projects
- Jury Members β appointed evaluators who score and assess submissions
- Administrators β platform staff who oversee the entire system
What problems does Pentas solve?
Traditional competition management relies on spreadsheets, email chains, and manual paperwork. Pentas replaces all of that with a single, unified platform that handles:
- Online team and project registration
- Automated jury assignment and conflict-of-interest detection
- Digital scoring with structured rubrics
- Hybrid judging β video rounds scored online plus on-site presentation days with booth scheduling and offline-capable scoring
- Certificate and award letter generation with organiser-controlled release
- Real-time results and analytics
Pentas also hosts a public project showcase where published projects can be viewed by anyone, and offers live chat support inside the platform.
Pentas is built specifically for the Malaysian academic and innovation ecosystem, with full compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA).
