Qontak Wants To Be Modern Yellow Pages By Providing Business Contact Information

Remember the Yellow Pages? What if there is a startup that wants to position itself as a digital Yellow Pages? Is Contact, a startup that recently launched a business information provider platform which is still in beta stage. In short, Qontak provides complete information about business people. The information in question is information about business, not personal.

Brendan Rakphongphairoj as one of the people behind Qontak explained to DailySocial that Qontak is a B2B platform. Qontak itself has a goal to help companies and personal business people in doing marketing and sales.

"We provide verified professional business contacts, knowledge and basic information through company or business profiles," said Brendan.

Qontak's story begins with anxiety about the difficulty of making sales in Indonesia, especially opening pintu and relationships over time. One of the factors that make this situation worse is the congestion that occurs throughout the working day in the capital. There is also difficulty finding the right person or not being able to meet face to face because of their busy lives.

Qontak started it all earlier this week. They launched a platform containing business information in beta test mode for potential users and users. In version Beta test After completing the registration process, consumers can freely try all the features provided by Qontak.

“We are targeting feedback as many users of the platform as possible, both positive and negative, and trying to educate them about the purpose, usefulness and assistance that this platform can provide,” said Brendan.

Provide only business contact information

Talking about contacts certainly cannot be separated from privacy. For this reason, Qontak is committed to only providing business contact information. Brendan also revealed that their company complied with Singaporean Personal Data Protection Act.

“We hope to reduce or even eliminate the issue of individual privacy that many telecommunications companies have clearly violated. Many people are upset and even angry, we also feel and experience that," said Brendan.

Brendan further explained that Qontak allows people or companies to delete their data in the Qontak system if they do not want their business information to be disseminated. However, according to Brendan, most of the salespeople saw the breakthrough made by Qontak as a positive thing.

"In this way, we also provide flexibility for business people to carry out promotions in a more precise, efficient and structured way compared to the old way, which has many shortcomings," he added.

Qontak tries to give full attention to the accuracy of the data in its services. Qontak maintains the quality of its information by using the Qontak community and technology for the data verification process.

"Most of the data available in the market has not been properly verified. Technology supported by active users will provide detailed verification for each point and category in the available data," said Brendan.

Focus on user acquisition and educating the public

As a new startup, user acquisition is still the focus of Qontak at this time. Qontak is also focusing on public education. They try to convince the public that they can be a bridge to connect them with many business people.

“We want our message and purpose to be clearly conveyed that we can help your business grow by connecting with other business people in a professional way not in a personal way which affects privacy and distrusts many companies out there who don't care about sharing your personal data. , said Brendan.

Regarding innovation, Qontak is also preparing several other breakthroughs, such as technology search engine for information on business developments and the addition of new features to meet the needs of business people. Later these features are expected to be integrated with the sales format and can be downloaded directly.
