UNL, GrabMaps collaborate to enhance location services for SEA businesses

Singapore – UNL Global, a mapping technology company in Singapore, is collaborating with GrabMaps to enhance its location services for businesses in Southeast Asia (SEA).

Combining their technologies, UNL and GrabMaps will leverage their location data and expertise to offer hyperlocal location services.

GrabMaps contributes its comprehensive location data, including extensive addresses, imagery, and points of interest across Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand.

The mapping data also leverages Grab’s network of merchants, consumers, drivers, and delivery partners, with insights gained daily from orders, rides, and real-time feedback.

Meanwhile, UNL provides pixel-based mapping and real-world game engine solutions, which enable digital representations of various locations.

Through the partnership, UNL and GrabMaps will offer better services for businesses in the region, aiming to eliminate problems in unreliable addressing and lack of last-mile data among others.

Additionally, the partnership will allow businesses and developers to have more optimised search and navigation services, predict more accurate estimated time of arrivals, and customise routes for specific vehicle parameters.

Xander van der Heijden, CEO and founder of UNL, said, “As one of the fastest-growing regions globally, Southeast Asia’s booming economy and increasingly connected population demand innovative solutions to meet the unique challenges of this dynamic region. We are excited to be joining forces with GrabMaps to bring the best-in-class location solutions to Southeast Asia’s markets. GrabMaps’ excellent map making capabilities and unmatched location data quality together with UNL’s advanced micro-location technology is a powerful combination, providing businesses with the tools they need to thrive in an environment where precision, efficiency, and customer-centricity are essential to staying ahead.”

“We are excited to support UNL Global in offering more accurate location data to help drive the growth of businesses and developers in Southeast Asia. GrabMaps’ extensive and highly granular data from across the region can help UNL’s customers improve operational efficiencies and unlock growth opportunities. UNL Global’s own micro-location technology, combined with our capabilities and insights, will enable UNL Global to offer more tailored solutions for their customers’ fast-changing needs,” Hazel Chen, regional head of group business development & partnerships at Grab, said.
