I'm from Malaysia and I once tried to do something very similar. What makes this better than other services like Foodpanda, Grab, and HappyFresh? What does Titipku do better?

Also what's your policy on non-halal groceries in the app? One of the things that put me off was seeing pork and alcohol on the front page, which implies it might get mixed with halal deliveries. Titipku implies that it buys "anything".

We have feature that customer can order many products from multiple merchants in the local market. This order is treated as one order. We give the sign for customer to inform which products that labelled as non halal. Thanks

Hi HN, we are Bruno and Guilherme of Jestor (https://jestor.com/). We make a no-code tool for COOs that need to scale complex offline operations such as hospitals, hotels and kitchens.

At our previous company, a software development business, most of our clients asked us to build in-house tools like an "easy to use Salesforce" or a "lighter SAP" that would reflect their internal processes. They were tired of paying high prices for 20-year-old enterprise software that was slow and expensive to adapt to their operations. They would usually also say something along the lines of: "I don't want to depend on you guys, I need something that my operations team can adapt themselves". All of them were using some combination of spreadsheets and SAP/Salesforce, and were not happy. We decided to develop software to empower them to build their own tools for operations, thus killing our previous business.

We achieve this by providing essential functionality without code, and enabling more customized behaviors to be quickly implemented with basic scripting ("low-code"). We give operations teams a way of using relational databases, setting up permissioning rules, and creating dashboards, forms, tasks and automations. Low-code allows for customized behaviors and integrations such as customized UIs, which allows for applications to be run on top of our platform. Proptech companies are using Jestor to manage room cleaning operations (cleaners have a Jestor app on their phones and receive information about where they need to clean), and foodtech companies are using it for managing warehouses and logistics.

Most of our clients have field operations, like when a doctor visits a patient in their home, so everything we build is designed thinking of mobile use. For example, you can create no-code automations straight from your phone. Another thing that's really important is the ability to connect any data in your company, so you can choose to integrate data from multiple teams in Jestor.

We never liked the pay-per-seats pricing model, so in Jestor, so we only charge based on usage. We believe it's much fairer to pay according to the value we generate for the user, instead of their "team size". Also, the more people using Jestor the better it gets. We're very pumped to be here and looking forward to hear what you think! Please leave us your feedback, including criticism so we can improve!

Good to see more Indonesian startups. I wish you the best of luck. I'm interested on how titipku would fare against behemoths such as goshop, sayurbox etc.

This is amazing. I just forward it to my SO and we probably will try it.

We've been shopping weekly at a supermarket groceries store, think like Giant, Hypermart, or Lulu Hypermarket. We realized even though the experience is fine, this is not ideal. There are million small merchants that rely on daily income to be able to feed their family, so my purchases could be significant for them.

Thank you, Karim. We are very happy for your support. Please give us some feedback. Let me know the name of your family or college so we contact them and monitor their order.

We are building Titipku (https://titipku.com/) which is "Instacart" for local markets in Indonesia, where we help households to buy daily groceries from nearby local markets in their residence areas. The Covid 19 has made people unable to buy their daily needs from local markets, meanwhile merchants in local markets are also suffering and need help to sell their goods. We solved this by helping to on board all merchants in every local market in our application, households can make an order in a few minutes, and there are personal shoppers who will go to the local market, buy the order and deliver to buyers. For example a household in Kelapa Gading Jakarta can make an order to buy many products from many merchants in Mandiri Market Kelapa Gading as one single order, then Titipku will assign the order to a personal shopper who will serve the order until delivery to the buyer instantly.within 1 hour. You can see an intro video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b6SXH0BR-w. Happy to answer questions!
