Starting today, customers in the country will be able to access motorbike-hailing services through GoBike, logistics services with GoSend, and food delivery via GoFood all from within the Gojek app.

The unified service now gives consumers in Vietnam access to Gojek’s over 150,000 drivers and 80,000 food merchants in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, according to a statement.

In addition, the company also introduced several feature upgrades, including a simpler home screen, an option for users to pin favorite dishes within GoFood, image sharing between customers and drivers, and support for multiple orders across services.

“Today marks a significant moment in Gojek’s journey, and in our long-term commitment to Vietnam,” said Gojek co-CEOs Kevin Aluwi and Andre Soelistyo. “We continue to see immense potential for growth and impact in the country, and we’re proud and excited to introduce the Gojek super app experience to an existing and new generation of users.”

The ride-hailing major also said that its users can now also access the Gojek app in all countries where it operates, including Vietnam, Indonesia, and Singapore. The app will also be available in Thailand within the coming weeks, Gojek said.

Last month, GoViet announced it would merge the brand with its parent firm Gojek and rebrand the service as Gojek Vietnam.

“This has been in the making for many months. We started on the strategy to upgrade, to get to scale more efficiently, better serve the customers in these markets, since well into mid-last year,” Gojek’s head of international Andrew Lee told Nikkei Asian Review.

The same changes are also coming to Get, Gojek’s Thailand unit, according to the report.
