PLDT Enterprise, the corporate business arm of PLDT, has announced its partnership with PeekUp, a Filipino-designed ride-hailing service to enhance the latter’s operational efficiency and customer engagement.
A reliable network is essential for businesses like PeekUp to maintain seamless operations, support real-time data transmission, and ensure high-quality service for their users. With a dedicated and secure iGate connectivity, PeekUp can guarantee uninterrupted services while scaling its offerings to meet the demands of a rapidly growing commuter base.
The integration of the Smart Messaging Suite will facilitate real-time communication and updates for users. This includes enabling PeekUp users arriving at NAIA terminals with international SIM cards or active roaming lines to receive essential notifications and OTPs (One-Time Passwords) for using the mobility service. This ensures that all commuters, regardless of their mobile provider, can access PeekUp’s services without interruptions.
PeekUp currently operates in key areas such as Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite, Rizal, and Bulacan, with plans for steady expansion in the Philippines’ ride-hailing market. The partnership with PLDT Enterprise will strengthen PeekUp’s platform, ultimately driving operational efficiency and supporting long-term growth.
“We are excited to collaborate with PeekUp to deliver tailored connectivity solutions that empower Filipino commuters and drivers. This partnership highlights our shared vision of driving digital transformation and enhancing the daily lives of Filipinos,” Albert Villa-Real, head of Enterprise Revenue Group at PLDT Enterprise said.
Dave Almarinez, chief executive and founder of PeekUp, emphasized the collaborative mission, saying, “Our partnership with PLDT Enterprise marks a significant step in providing Filipino commuters with a superior experience. By integrating their robust connectivity solutions, we are committed to improving our services and ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient journeys for all our users.”
This partnership goes beyond connectivity; it embodies both organizations’ commitment to driving positive change within the community. PLDT Enterprise’s support in enhancing PeekUp’s operations aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically targeting innovation, infrastructure development, and sustainable cities and communities.
The collaboration not only strengthens PeekUp’s operational framework but also contributes to a sustainable future by utilizing advanced technology to connect people and locations. Enhanced connectivity aims to streamline daily commutes and business operations, reducing time, costs, and energy consumption, which in turn improves the overall quality of life for both drivers and customers.
Furthermore, by integrating PLDT Enterprise’s solutions, PeekUp is better positioned to scale its services, ultimately providing a safer and more convenient transportation alternative for Filipinos. As this partnership progresses, it will also focus on promoting resource efficiency and creating more employment opportunities for Filipino drivers, thereby contributing to the economic growth and sustainability of the community.
