“Sharing the love has always been at the core of Grab, and as we celebrate our seventh year in business, we want to give back to Filipino consumers who helped us reach where we are right now — the leading everyday super app in the Philippines and the greater Southeast Asia,” Brian Cu, Grab president, said.
Providing #BetterEveryday Experience
Partnering with bus operators and shipping lines in Metro Manila, Grab will be pilot testing Bus Marketplace to provide an on-demand ticket booking system for bus and ferry rides.
Through this service, Grab allows users to discover and book bus and ferry services that fit their needs. They can also check out updates on routes, time, and date.
Together with tech-enabled express logistics company, Ninja Van, GrabExpress, Grab’s on-demand parcel and courier services, may soon allow intercity parcel delivery.
“We started out as a transport app the only wanted to provide a solution to the growing problem of mobility in the region. Seven years later, we are now the region’s leading super app offering different services to our consumers. But being loyal to our roots, we will continue to develop new ways to improve transportation and logistics in the Philippines,” Cu said.
Promoting Digital Lifestyle
Grab is also set to collaborate with HOOQ, a leading Southeast Asian video-streaming provider that has over 10,000 hours of content on its belt, this year. This unique partnership is the first ever integration of a regional digital platform and a leading OTT service provider (online video streaming) in Southeast Asia, which represents a hockey-stick moment for both digital services and online video in the region.
Furthermore, Grab users may soon use the app to book their movie tickets in advance through the upcoming Tickets service tile powered by SM Cinemas.
Just a few weeks ago, Grab launched the new Hotel tile, which enables Grab users to book their accommodations from Agoda and Booking.com.
“As an everyday super app, Grab strives to provide the best solutions to the everyday needs of Filipino consumers, bringing them closer to things that matter to them. Through constant innovation and evolution, we are turning our super app vision into a more concrete reality. Soon, Grab users can use the Grab platform for more services that help them meet their daily needs,” Cu pointed out.
Developing Financial Technology
To pay for utility bills, Grab users will soon have access to Grab’s Bills Payment feature, which allows customers to use their digital wallets. With this upgrade, Filipinos with the super app on their smartphones won’t have to deal with long waiting lines just to pay for their bills.
Grab’s partnership with the SM Group, the largest retail, banking, and property conglomerate in the country, brings GrabPay outside the app and into the SM Group’s wide portfolio of merchants. The said app will have its QR code payments solution being deployed across the merchant partner of the SM Group within the year.
Exploring Different Partnerships
Throughout the years, Grab struck these meaningful partnership with different companies and groups to achieve its goal of creating smart cities that are connected by a single mobile app.
”We are building our super app vision through partnerships, and this was a decision that we made right at the very beginning. We recognize that Grab would only be limited on what we do best, but there are that could provide best in class services, making partnerships necessary for us to realize our vision of becoming the region’s largest super app,” Cu said.
