Go-Jek drivers will be posted at Aeon malls in order to collect and deliver items that customers have purchased online.

Following the rollout this month, Aeon and Go-Jek plan to extend the joint service to three of the retail group’s new outlets next year.

Aeon runs 1,300 shopping centers, general merchandise stores, and convenience stores across Southeast Asia, and plans to expand its collaboration with Go-Jek outside of Indonesia.

Go-Jek established its first overseas ride-hailing and delivery services this year, launching apps in Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
