Weyland Tech’s AtozGo Expansion into Residential Jakarta Reaches 500 Deliveries Per Day as City Begins to Reopen

NEW YORK, June 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Weyland Tech, Inc. (OTCQX: WEYL), a leading global provider of mCommerce platform-as-a-service (PaaS), reported that the recently announced expansion of the AtozGo delivery service into residential Jakarta has now reached 500 deliveries per day being ordered by more than 2,000 registered residential users.

The service has also attracted now more than 1,000 delivery people, up from 680 in March, by providing flexible hours and unlimited income potential. Many new merchants have also signed up for AtozGo, now totaling 21,000, providing a broader selection of options available to AtozGo customers.

Previously available only to city office workers, in April AtozGo extended its service area and hours of operation to allow the Indonesian city’s urbanites to use its mobile app to order food from local grocery and convenience stores. Residents can also order household services, including dry cleaning, shoe repair, maintenance, cleaning and water bottle delivery.

After being in a COVID-19 lockdown since early March, over the next few weeks, workplaces, places of worship, shopping centers and recreational venues are expected to gradually reopen, as reported by the Straits Times. They will be required to follow certain health guidelines, including operating at 50 percent capacity and requiring individuals to maintain a distance of one meter.

Powered by Weyland’s m-Commerce technology and the AtozPay mobile payment platform, AtozGo supports these guidelines by allowing customers to easily order and pay for deliveries and services using AtozGo and their AtozPay e-Wallet.

Many residents have already been using the AtozPay fintech solution to pay their phone, utility, rent and other personal bills. AtozPay transaction volume was virtually unaffected by COVID-19, with an annualized gross transaction volume on pace at more than $15 million over the last few months.

Based on the momentum AtozGo was experiencing pre-pandemic, the company anticipates that as the city returns to normal over the next few weeks, deliveries will increase from around 15,000 overall to more than 20,000 deliveries per day, with the number of registered users to grow from more than 100,000 to more than 150,000.

“As we scale up, we see delivery growth to be driven largely by new residential users who typically make larger orders with higher dollar amounts compared to office workers who primarily use the service for ordering lunch,” noted Djunaedy Hermawanto, CEO of Weyland Indonesia Perkasa which operates AtozPay and AtozGo. “While today we have only 2,000 residential customers, they generate 500 deliveries per day, which is a much higher ratio than our office worker component. So, we see great potential to increase transaction volume and size by scaling up the number of residential users.”
