Global Mobility Service and on-demand delivery platform provider Lalamove form strategic business partnership in Indonesia

Launch program for registered drivers to create credit and increased income

PT. Global Mobility Service Indonesia (Head office: Jakarta, Indonesia; CEO: Satoshi Takahashi; hereinafter “GMS Indonesia”), an overseas branch in Indonesia of Global Mobility Service Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President/CEO:Tokushi Nakashima; hereinafter “GMS”), and PT Lalamove Logistik Indonesia (Head office: Jakarta, Indonesia; Managing Director: Andi Rizki, hereinafter “Lalamove Indonesia”), the Indonesia subsidiary of on-demand delivery platform provider Lalamove (Head office: Hong Kong; Founder and CEO:Shing Chow) have entered into a strategic business partnership.

1. Strategic business partnership summary

Lalamove is an on-demand delivery platform provider that connects users with registered drivers through its platform. It has raised a total of approximately $460 million so far and offers services in 21 markets around the world.

The first step of this partnership will be the provision of a car ownership and vehicle rental program by a third-party partner of GMS Indonesia, which utilizes GMS’s IoT technology*1, for both registered drivers with many years of service and vehicle rental for new drivers who qualified for the services.

This program allows delivery workers to gain opportunities for car ownership and increased income through credit created upon the evaluation of their driving and payment data.

Therefore, those who were unable to pass credit screening despite how diligently they had worked, will be evaluated based on their hard work. In addition, GMS Indonesia will recommend its existing customers to register for Lalamove in order to build a stable delivery network and promote new credit creation.

*1 A system that utilizes GMS’s originally developed IoT device and mobility platform. In the case of loan payment defaults, the activation of the car engine is remotely controlled through real-time supervision, and restarted after payment is completed, promoting drivers to systematically pay off loans.

2. Working with Lalamove and future business expansion

Our business partner, Lalamove has been providing last mile delivery solutions in Jakarta and surrounding in Indonesia since November 2018. Thus, so far it has provided services to over 13,600 corporate and individual users, with over 75,000 registered drivers. In the future, Lalamove Indonesia and GMS Indonesia will continue to strengthen their partnership as Lalamove Indonesia plans to expand to all areas of Java.

As a global startup specializing in financially inclusive FinTech from Japan, GMS works towards realizing a system in which every individual is correctly evaluated for their work. Through our vision, “Through the provision of mobility service, we make people happy”, we create economic rationality while solving social issues including poverty, which is recognized as the most important issue among the SDGs.
