So, it\u2019s no wonder people get lost! This eats into the precious time of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/\">Grab<\/a>\u2019s driver-partners who aim to&nbsp; pick up deliveries efficiently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To help them find their way, the 500-backed superapp team <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/42Z6HY8\">developed Indoor Maps<\/a>. They worked with over 40 malls in six countries across the region to digitize each mall\u2019s blueprint and connect them to Grab\u2019s existing services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some popular malls they currently cover are KLCC and Pavillion in Malaysia, Jurong Point in Singapore, Central Mall Ladprao in Thailand, and UP Town Center in the Philippines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driver-partners get a turn-by-turn route mapped out for them, with Indoor Maps instructing them to turn at specific stores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The result? Faster walking times and faster deliveries, with driver-partners spending up to 20.4% less time looking for a restaurant compared to those who didn\u2019t.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next up, the team will be rolling out Indoor Maps for wet markets in Malaysia. They also hope to expand their coverage to more malls and retail complexes across the region.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Other stories you may have missed:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup938\">Aerodyne<\/a> and DroneDash eye world\u2019s first cross-border drone delivery for higher efficiency and lower carbon emissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup939\">MYCL<\/a>\u2019s biodegradable materials make their way to multiple industries, from fashion and construction to disaster relief<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup940\">Grab<\/a> achieved $11M profit in Q1\u201923 and generated $11B for their partners in 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup941\">Alodokter<\/a> secures US$5.2M to further develop their digital healthcare ecosystem for 25 million users<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3SZbQLd\">Stockbit<\/a>, a social analytics platform that has evolved into one of Indonesia&#8217;s largest stock brokerages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4bXFuJC\">Parcel Perform<\/a> and Cabrella join forces to transform risk management and elevate customer satisfaction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4bR3fD0\">CrediLinq<\/a> makes the Best Startup list of fastest-growing companies in Asia for helping shape the future of the software industry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blurring boundaries Mall or maze?
