Jakarta, August 26, 2022 – To accelerate Indonesian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to reach the next level, Shipper, a super enabler technology company that provides integrated digital logistics and smart warehouse solutions, collaborates with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs through the Integrated Business Service Center (PLUT) program. With the spirit of collaboration, Shipper collaborates with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs to provide training and technology development and help solve problems in logistics and supply chain for MSMEs through the PLUT program which is spread in 74 locations throughout Indonesia.
The Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, Teten Masduki, at the meeting with Shipper said, “We welcome Shipper’s collaboration initiative with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs to accelerate MSMEs to reach the next level. The Indonesian economy relies a lot on MSMEs, therefore the government strives to get MSMEs into the digital ecosystem. As of June 2022, we have recorded that 19.5 million MSMEs have entered the e-commerce platform from the target of 30 million in 2024. In addition, through this collaboration, we seek to build market optimism by maintaining economic growth in the third quarter, which in the second quarter has reached 5.44%,”
In the PLUT program, Shipper prepares a series of intelligent logistics and warehouse technology empowerment programs that is integrated with various themes, namely export and import, quality and capacity improvement of business products, business development, and partnerships. The meeting with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs is a follow-up action to the results of Shipper’s hearing with the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, where Shipper listens to the aspirations of MSME actors regarding the need for support for access to funds, logistics, and local goods manufacture. Therefore, Shipper also chooses Imajin as a partner in the production sector and Modal Rakyat as a partner in the financing sector, as well as exploring opportunities for further collaboration to realize the aspirations of MSME actors.
Shipper, a digital logistics company, has a mission is to support Indonesia’s economic growth through integrated logistics and supply chain solutions. Shipper performs logistics cost efficiency by bringing the MSME goods closer to their market locations through more than 300 smart warehouses spread across 35 cities throughout Indonesia with a total area of 500,000 m2. Since 2017, Shipper has supported more than 35,000 businesses in Indonesia from micro to macro scale and collaborated with more than 100 logistics service providers. Shipper’s warehouse service integrates warehouse management, stock inventory, online store management, sales, shipping, and real-time tracking of goods with just one application.
Digitalizing logistics and warehouse can cut high inter-island logistics costs and reduce imbalances in the distribution of goods due to the unintegrated connectivity of the national logistics network. Shipper performs digital transformation through its logistics aggregator technology that can connect sellers and buyers throughout Indonesia with 3PL providers. With this technology, SMEs can enjoy the best shipping rates with a wider reach. Based on Shipper’s records, SMEs using Shipper technology can save up to 20% on shipping costs.
Jessica Hendrawidjaja, Chief Marketing Officer who was present at the meeting with the Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises explained, “Shipper always prioritizes collaboration to advance the MSME sector. We are very happy and grateful to be the government’s strategic partner to assist the empowerment of MSMEs through the PLUT program in 74 locations throughout Indonesia. Shippers will use this trust to help achieve the government’s target of 30 million MSMEs entering the digital ecosystem by 2024. We always carry out various programs and innovations that are in line with the priority agenda of the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs of the Republic of Indonesia to facilitate the flow of domestic trade and increase the potential of regional MSMEs with the help of logistics and warehouse technology which will eventually support the national economy.”
As “Teman Kamu Berjuang” for MSMEs, Shipper is always committed to making it easier for MSME actors and leaving the complexity of managing the fulfillment and delivery systems to Shipper by providing end-to-end logistics and warehouse services ranging from first mile, warehouse & fulfillment, last mile delivery, to export. Shipper has carried out a series of trainings and marketing capital assistance through the UMKM Festival program, PAHALawan Cuan, ShipFest, Shipper Seller Series, and Serbu Gudang. To this day, there have been around 50,000 MSMEs assisted by these programs.
On this occasion, Shipper also explained the performance of the logistics and warehouse industry in empowering local MSMEs and discussed the trends and opportunities of the industry in the digital era. Shipper hopes to continue to support the development of Indonesian MSMEs and contribute to the acceleration of national economic recovery by sharing its experiences in logistics and warehousing.
In the future, Shipper also hopes to contribute to various programs from the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs to the entire Shipper’s MSME community and collaborate with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs as knowledge partners as well as other forms of collaboration. Shipper also hopes that the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs can support the “Legendary Brands Festival: Pahlawan Ekonomi Nasional” which will be held to coincide with National Heroes Day on November 10, 2022 by presenting thousands of local MSME brands from micro to macro scale.
