Grab Philippines is growing its portfolio of online-to-offline solutions with the introduction of “Pay With Grab” and “Instant Deals” to enrich the physical-digital experience of consumers and boosting the growth of its merchant partners.
Grab Philippines said the issue of supply during the holidays has put a strain on GrabCar drivers who had to be online for at least 7 hours per day -- with more than 90 percent of them driving for the majority of the week, just to serve the increased demand during the holidays.
Based on an initial assessment by the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC), Grab Philippines’ acquisition of its smaller rival Move It “likely did not breach” the thresholds for compulsory notification.
Grab Philippines said the pandemic created a serious imbalance in GrabCar's supply and demand condition, resulting in fewer GrabCar driver-partners on the road having to serve an increasing number of passengers.
Grab Philippines said passengers are not claiming their portions of the disbursed administrative fee since majority of them are entitled only for P1.00 – an amount that is not substantial enough for them to create a GrabPay wallet account and undergo the BSP-mandated KYC process.
One of the solutions that Grab Philippines has announced is the “Grab Online Shop”, which gives merchants the opportunity to set up and manage their own customizable online ordering website, with technical and customer support from Grab.
