The Challenge
foodpanda needs to attract and retain riders to:
- Deliver an excellent experience to customers
- Achieve its quick-commerce ambitions to remain an industry leader
The company wanted an automated solution to increase satisfaction amongst thousands of riders through instant, smarter payments.
The Solution
foodpanda partnered with HSBC in Singapore to give riders control over how and when they are paid, using an app:
HSBC Payments
Gain more control over incoming and outgoing cash flows. Getting funds in sooner, and holding on to them longer, is critical for maintaining a healthy cash flow.
The Outcome
- Calculating, reconciling and paying rider commissions is now fully automated, with real-time connectivity and instant payments
- The company saves 30 hours a month in manual processing
- Riders are in control of their income, leading to a loyal delivery fleet
- Based on success in Singapore, the rider solution is being rolled out across Asia and the Middle East
We are proud to support Delivery Hero’s remarkable growth at a group level, and its foodpanda subsidiary in Asia. We help the business to understand the local regulatory and commercial environment, and digitise its payment and collection solutions to drive its q-commerce ambitions.
