Data analytics startup Delman nets $1.6m in Intudo-led round

The most typical data quality-related issues in Indonesia often surround “unstructured or unmatched data, either traditionally managed or handled by inexperienced teams,” said Surya Halim, adding that teams may spend up to US$200,000 and 70% of their time on average on data cleaning and warehousing.

To address this, Halim launched Delman, a data management and analytics provider. The startup today announced that it has secured US$1.6 million in a seed funding round led by venture capital firm Intudo Ventures.

Prasetia Dwidharma Ventures and Qlue Performa Indonesia also participated in the round.

Founded in early 2018, Delman provides data preparation-focused solutions for Indonesian enterprises.

It works with clients to expedite the data integration process from multiple sources. By analyzing and processing data into targeted insights for management, the platform helps companies make better policy and business decisions.

Delman also offers customized big data analytics for optimizing operations and human resources. It claims that its solution can help speed up the whole process up to 30 times using AI and machine learning for data cleansing and warehousing.

With the investment, the company plans to establish a research and development center in Surabaya for more localized solutions. It also looks to hire software engineers and data scientists, including Indonesian data scientists that are currently working in Silicon Valley.

The startup was established by Halim and co-founders Raymond Christopher and Theo Budiyanto.

Its clients include governments, consultancies, multinational companies, and conglomerates, according to the statement.
