Youtap Creates a Special Application for Business Owners to Manage Business

Youtap Indonesia is taking the potential of the supply chain seriously by releasing a special application for business owners to manage their business, Youtap BOS. Previously this solution first introduced in March 2023, but still website-based.

Youtap Indonesia CEO Herman Suharto said that more than 40% of MSMEs in Indonesia are still untouched by the digital ecosystem in developing their businesses. This is Youtap's motivation to continue innovating to provide the most complete and integrated digital business solutions for MSME players in developing their businesses.

He continued, the Youtap BOS application allows business owners to monitor business performance, shop for stock for business needs, buy business packages, participate in affiliate programs (Ajak Cuan Agent), and get financing solutions. This application has also been integrated with the digital cashier application, Youtap POS.

“There are two big needs from business actors, namely create value chain and supply chain leaders to be able to manage stock. "We combine the two into one Youtap BOS solution," said Herman during the celebration of Youtap's 4th anniversary in Jakarta, Tuesday (5/3).

The provision of various solutions in the Youtap BOS application is the result of collaboration with partners. Financing solutions, for example, collaborate with Bank INA, none other than part of the Salim Group. The mechanism is that Bank INA assesses the risk level of potential debtors by utilizing transaction history on Youtap BOS which utilizes integration supply chain marketplace with Youtap POS which has supply chain solutions.

If approved, the limit received is not in cash but can be used to purchase stock and purchase business packages. “The shape productive financing. Because for their business stock purchasing needs, we can provide it rates competitive. Pay later but there's no interest involved."

To shop for stock at Youtap BOS, there are more than 300 suppliers who have partnered. They come from local suppliers selected by the Youtap team themselves, national scale suppliers, and Official Store with Indomarco.

This supply chain solution is included in one of three pillars of service Youtap, namely a non-cash payment solution & financial service and business management solution with POS services.

It is claimed that currently Youtap has digitized more than 500 thousand business actors spread across more than 510 cities/districts in Indonesia.

Get into real business

On the same occasion, Youtap introduced the ROMIE (Indomie Filled Toast) business package. This business package is the result of Youtap's collaboration with Indosari Food Solutions, a business unit of the Sari Roti bread brand, another subsidiary of the Salim Group.

Herman hopes that this initiative can encourage more people to become entrepreneurs because the initial capital offered for this franchise is quite affordable, starting from IDR 4 million and has various benefits, such as free digital cashier subscription fees for one year.

The initial idea for ROMIE, he continued, came from internal Youtap who were looking for business ideas with the ecosystem at the Salim Group. Then validated directly to the market by opening booths in shopping centers in Jakarta.

"This is a form of commitment from us that now Youtap not only provides digital-based solutions but there are real solutions. In the future there will be many more new initiatives.”

Outside of ROMIE, Youtap actually provides more than 40 business packages that you can choose from to start becoming an entrepreneur. The majority are local brands that are franchised. There are various categories, such as frozen food, care & beauty, snacks, street food, drinks, bread & cakes, restaurants & cafes, and even ice cream.
