TUTULUNGAN ng Grab Philippines ang mga maliliit na negosyante upang makapagtinda online.
Sa ilalim ng Small Business Booster Program ang mga offline business ay tutulungan ng Grab na makalipat online upang mas maraming kustomer ang makakita sa kanilang mga produkto.
“We have faced many new changes and challenges brought about by the pandemic, and we continue to find ways to leverage our platform towards supporting our kababayans in many new ways. As many Filipinos rely on digital-based services, our aim at Grab is to provide meaningful support most especially to small businesses, and bridge the gap on the ever-widening digital divide that these MSMEs have been facing,” ani Grab Philippines President Brian Cu.
Sinimulan ng Grab ang digitalization initiative nito sa pagpasok sa isang partnership sa Department of Agriculture (DA) para sa eKadiwa Program nito at sa Philippine Harvest Initiative ng Department of Tourism.
Layunin ng mga programang ito na maipasok sa digital economy ang mga produkto ng mga magsasaka.
Tumutulong din ang Grab sa MSME Reboot Program ng Department of Trade and Industry.
“With small independent businesses being the backbone of our economy, Grab hopes that by supporting initiatives such as the Department of Agriculture’s Kadiwa ni Ani at Kita, and the Department of Tourism’s Philippine Harvest Initiative – both aimed at supporting farmers and agripreneurs through market access and delivery services, as well as the Department of Trade and Industry’s MSME Reboot Program to aid and further develop our micro- and small businesses; and introducing programs such as the Madiskarteng Boss Club – geared at growing the vibrant social selling community through access to discounts, rebates, loans, placements, and learning opportunities, we get to help grow small businesses in the country to help rejuvenate our economy,” saad ni Cu.
Bunsod ng ipinatutupad na quarantine, tumaas ang pangangailangan sa digital services.
Tinutulungan ng Grab ang mga maliliit na negosyo sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng digital shopfront sa Grab platform o sa pamamagitan ng e-payments integration.
Sa internal survey na isinagawa ng Grab, 76 porsyento ang nais na maitaas ang kanilang online visibility at 56 porsyento ang naghahanap ng magagamit sa pagpapalago ng kanilang negosyo.
“As we all chart our paths in these unpredictable times, let us not lose hope in each other and the good that we can bring to each other and our communities. As we lean on each other for protection and support, Grab will remain to be an equitable partner to our communities, the government, and to the Filipino people, and we will continue to drive and deliver positive social impact through our platform,” dagdag pa ni Cu.
