Singapore – Loqate, a global location intelligence specialist, has forged a partnership with super app GrabMaps to enhance the accuracy of businesses’ location data in Southeast Asia (SEA).
Incorporating GrabMap’s high-quality location data into Loqate’s platform will enable its businesses to access more accurate and localised address verification services.
The partnership aims to help businesses solve challenges in addressing systems, further improving their delivery services. With the growth of e-commerce in SEA markets, Loqate aims to solidify its position as the premier provider of accurate and trusted location data.
By offering intuitive address suggestions, verification, and data integrity, Loqate enables businesses to streamline their operations, consequently boosting customer satisfaction. Brands such as Shein, Temu, eBay, IBM, and ASOS have relied on Loqate for location services.
Meanwhile, GrapMaps is built on a community-based mapping approach, leveraging its network of consumers, merchants, and driver and delivery partners. Refreshing its mapping data daily, Grab ensures accurate and up-to-date map access. Its mapping data encompasses addresses in Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand.
The collaboration has kicked off in Malaysia, with plans to extend to Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with GrabMaps, a true leader in location data innovation, as we expand our presence in Southeast Asia. With this integration of rich local data into our platform, we are confident that we will continue to be a trusted partner that provides local and international businesses with accurate, high-quality location data and intelligence, particularly in regions where addressing is often challenging,” David Green, managing director at Loqate, commented.
Hazel Chen, regional head of group business development and partnerships at Grab, said, “We are excited to partner with Loqate and share our capabilities with them to support their mission to provide accurate location data to businesses, starting with Malaysia. GrabMaps offers a fresh, highly granular and extensive view of the region, like no other. Our ever-expanding and highly precise location data will help Loqate’s customers to minimise inefficiencies, drive cost savings and offer better customer experiences.”
