Qasir integration with GrabFood, Makes Recording of F&B Merchant Financial Reports Easy

Provider startup Qasir POS service now integrated with Grab, allows merchant both parties take advantage of each service. This collaboration also supports the acceleration of digitalization for micro-entrepreneurs who have been affected since the pandemic.

Qasir CEO Michael Liem explained, in order to optimally support entrepreneurs in the midst of a pandemic, the company is providing a business cooperation package with GrabFood. This package can be used with an affordable subscription fee.

“Since the pandemic, digital platforms that were previously only considered as alternative tools to do many things in daily life, have turned into an important necessity. Even those who are not familiar with digital technology seem to be forced to use technology if they want to survive. This also happens to our MSMEs, "explained Mike, Michael's greeting.

He said that before this collaboration began, the Covid-19 pandemic had an impact on the decline in turnover merchant Qasir up to 40% throughout March-August 2020. Therefore, entering the digital ecosystem in Grab expected to boost the business of the merchant.

From a business perspective, this opportunity is used to acquire new users more quickly. Especially in an ecosystem GrabFood has netted millions merchant throughout Indonesia. During the pandemic only, merchant and agent Grab those who have just joined have penetrated more than 83 thousand partners.

"Merchant F&B alone has represented about 50% of merchant base Qasir. Partner with Grab who have an extensive network will help our business partners to target a larger customer base. This also increases our opportunities to acquire F&B merchants.”

Separately, when contacted DailySocial, Mike explained well merchant GrabFood and Qasir services can be connected to each other. For merchant Qasir who wants to enter in GrabFood, they just need to do the activation process. Even for merchant GrabFood can register their business in the Qasir application by buying features GrabFood Integration and run the activation process.

Competitors Grab, has already done a similar integration with Moka -until finally full acquisition- to expand the scope of sales of entrepreneurs to online channel and offline. Regarding this possibility whether it will also happen in Qasir, DailySocial also ask Mike. But he only said, "It's still limited to business cooperation."

Competition POS player, he continued, is getting tighter. However, as is known, the business cake in POS is still very broad. The number of domestic micro-enterprises who have used the platform online to develop new business reached 13%. “What's more, many entrepreneurs are still not really running their business digitally, so the opportunity is still huge.”

As a differentiation with similar players, he emphasized that Qasir had three important elements. First, Qasir can be used immediately for free. This is useful for entrepreneurs who are just starting a business or those who want to digitize their business without having to be burdened with a large initial commitment.

Second, to enjoy the features further, Qasir provides additional features paid individually (pay-as-you-go). One of them is the "Manage Discount" and "Order Tickets" features which are priced at Rp. 15 thousand (one time payment for permanent use). Also, more complex features such as “Business Website” and “Attendance” with a subscription concept.

In this Business Website, entrepreneurs can market their products through the website for less than Rp. 200 thousand per year. They only need to enter business data, while the product catalog has been integrated automatically from the Qasir application. Consumers can directly order through the site, choose a delivery service, and the duration of delivery is like shopping at online stores in general.

Thus, entrepreneurs can buy the features they need according to their business needs. “This mechanism makes Qasir more”budget friendly"," he said.

Mike continued, "Finally, Qasir tries to provide complete features for all needs, so entrepreneurs don't have to find and manage other additional applications that will take time and effort," he concluded.
