PT Pos Indonesia is carrying out several transformations, including the digital transformation, to stay relevant and be known by the younger generation, such as Generation Z and Generation Alpha.
Several business transformation steps that have been realized so far have included the utilization of buildings belonging to PT Pos Indonesia as public creative spaces, such as Pos Bloc Jakarta and Pos Bloc Medan.
The company's efforts toward digital transformation can also be seen in the digital services that it provides through the PosAja and POSPAY applications.
"In the digital era, only having a physical presence is not enough. Thus, we transformed to innovate by presenting digital-based platforms. Therefore, Pos will have a new introduction as phigital (physical and digital)," Djoemadi said.
The cooperation between PT Pos Indonesia with the private tech company gained support from the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), Erick Thohir, who was also present during the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the cooperation on Thursday.
