Machine learning plays a crucial role in Gojek’s ability to complete millions of daily orders for more than 20 different products and services.
In a panel discussion that was held during its accelerator program demo day, Gojek’s co-founder Kevin Aluwi said that the platform has developed machine learning-based technology to ensure a balance between the number of drivers and the high level of demand in an area.
The system has also been applied to the GoFood menu label management process. With machine learning, customers are able to quickly locate the food they want. This is because GoFood automatically displays personalized menus according to the habits and preferences of each customer. The system also benefits GoFood’s merchants as they can create more targeted promotions. Gojek said that their platform increases turnover by 3.5 times for merchants.
