Rivals Grab, Gojek both team up with Tokopedia-affiliated logistics firm

Indonesia-based Anteraja, an ecommerce-focused logistics service, announced partnerships with Southeast Asian decacorns and rivals, Grab and Gojek.

The logistics firm will integrate Gojek and Grab’s logistics services into its last-mile ecosystem. With these partnerships, Anteraja will get access to the two companies’ fleet of riders to deliver packages. The collaboration with Gojek will initially begin in the Greater Jakarta area later this month.

Anteraja will also provide its logistics infrastructure to support GrabExpress’ intercity delivery services. With Anteraja’s logistics network, Grab’s customers now can send packages weighing up to 50 kilograms to other cities in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, Gojek’s head of logistics, Steven Halim, said that the collaboration with Anteraja could present opportunities for delivery personnel to boost their income. In June this year, riders who work exclusively for Gojek’s delivery arm, GoSend, planned a strike to protest the company’s plan to slash incentives for deliveries by half.

Anteraja is a subsidiary of publicly listed transportation services company Adi Sarana Armada. Launched in 2019, the logistics service employs over 15,000 couriers who can deliver over 700,000 packages every day.

The company recently received a funding commitment of US$31 million from the World Bank’s International Finance Corporation.

Anteraja is also affiliated with Indonesian ecommerce giant Tokopedia, which recently joined forces with Gojek to form GoTo Group. The combined entity supposedly brings together Gojek and Tokopedia’s strength on multiple fronts, but a number of their services still seem to overlap, including in logistics.
