Logee can streamline up to 50% of daily export and import operational processes, including managing storage and truck orders.
Heaptalk, Jakarta — Telkom Indonesia through Leap launched the Logee digital platform to digitalize the logistics ecosystem. Logee was initiated to provide answers related to export-import to be more effective and efficient through the use of digital technology.
One of the daily activities in export-import is the arrangement of gate passes at the port by goods owners or customs service management entrepreneurs (PPJK). To date, digital technology has penetrated port terminals through the terminal operating system (TOS).
However, ordering trucks for container shipping still tends to be difficult and slow, as owners have to contact truck owners one by one to ensure availability. Further, when the container has been transported in the truck, the owner of the goods cannot monitor the location of the truck in real-time.
As a B2B platform, Logee collaborates with goods owners or customs service management companies at container terminals, by providing services for managing export and import container gate passes to digital fleet search plus full visibility dashboard features to digital gate passes that can be obtained by drivers.
Telkom Digital Business Director Fajrin Rasyid said that Telkom’s efforts in accelerating the digital logistics ecosystem, specifically at the port, currently have changed conventional processes to digital in a paperless manner with a simpler and transparent process to reduce operational logistics costs.
“Currently, Logee has been integrated with the container terminal of NPCT1 (New Priok Container Terminal One), Koja, National Logistic Ecosystem (NLE), and most recently, JICT (PT Jakarta International Container Terminal),” said Fajrin.
Further, Fajrin hopes that digitalization can reduce logistics costs by up to 17% in 2024. He said, “Telkom as a state-owned enterprise with a focus on digital strengthening, has a responsibility to accelerate this digital ecosystem.”
Up to 50% efficient operational process
According to the Director of PT Adhika Maju Mandiri Yosua Suryadhika, the logistics and port industry in Indonesia is a business sector that has a lot of potentials but its activities are still very complex.
“As a logistics player, particularly for the export and import of goods, I feel the complexity of the container shipping process. Arranging for gate passes also requires more effort where you still have to open several different container terminal billing systems and if there are document problems you have to come directly to the container terminal,” said Yosua.
Since August 2021, Yosua has been using Logee to simplify operational activities. He added, “Logee can streamline up to 50% of daily export and import operational processes, including managing storage and truck orders.”
Meanwhile, the Head of Digital Vertical Ecosystem Logistics, Natal Iman Ginting, said that the integration of the Logee with the large terminals at Tanjung Priok and Jakarta International Container Terminal has accelerated the digital ecosystem in the port and logistics sector. The effort is expected to streamline costs and shipping processes.
“Integration of the logistics ecosystem is essential to achieve efficiency in the logistics supply chain itself. This logistical scope is an ecosystem, which means it involves many things with multiple parties. Starting from shipping companies, customs, and container terminals to depots. Logee streamlines the process,” said Natal.
The digital ecosystem presented by Logee is aligned with the government’s aspirations to reduce national logistics costs, as stated in Presidential Regulation No. 18 of 2020 on the Action Plan for Structuring the National Logistics Economy. Currently, logistics costs in Indonesia reach 26% of the GDP, with an average logistics cost in surrounding countries of 13%.
Logee is part of Leap as an umbrella brand for Telkom’s digital products and services to accelerate the digitalization of Indonesian society. Leap itself is expected to spur the growth of the digital ecosystem in Indonesia in realizing national digital sovereignty.
