MATAHARIMALL OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES MOBILE APP FOR iOS AND ANDROID

Jakarta, 2 December 2015 – MatahariMall.com (MatahariMall), an eCommerce venture funded by Lippo Group, announces the launch of its mobile application today. The mobile app is free and available for download on App Store for iOS users as well as Google Play Store for Android users. MatahariMall mobile app provides seamless shopping experience to customers by offering a user-friendly interface that can be used to explore and sort more than hundreds and thousands of SKUs based on their product categories, brands, and price.

A research held by Google stated that Indonesia’s smartphone adoption doubles just in a span of one year[1].  Moreover, most of the smartphone users spend more than five hours to access various contents from their smartphone[2].

“We believe that mobile app will play a significant role in the future of eCommerce, the future of MatahariMall,” said Hadi Wenas, CEO of MatahariMall.com. “We are very excited about the launch of our mobile app today because in a way we are at the beginning of our future. With all the unique and cool features that we packed into our mobile app, we are confident that our customers will be just as excited as we are.”

On the first download, customers are introduced up and close with MatahariMall’s O2O feature, where customers can buy, retrieve, and return their goods in various O2O spots in Indonesia. MatahariMall mobile application’s homepage serves three important elements: recent promotions and discounts, categories of goods, and newest products offered by MatahariMall. Featuring smooth transition, easy filtering between categories and facilitates better knowledge about the product through the full screen and zooming mode, MatahariMall’s mobile application is believed to ease customers’ shopping routines.

MatahariMall is the first eCommerce venture to apply a fresh and unique concept of recommended products. Adopting the layout and interface of a popular dating app, one of MatahariMall mobile app features presents customers with a wide range of goods, which they can easily swipe to put on their ‘love list’ for future assessment, or they can also buy the product right then and there.

“In such a short period of time, MatahariMall has reached transaction number that other eCommerce companies needed two years to gain, and we are still going strong. Moreover, 30% of our overall transaction is conducted through smartphone browsers. Accordingly, we are confident that our new mobile app further boosts the number or transactions done through mobile devices,” Wenas added.

To commemorate the launch of its mobile application, MatahariMall holds a Flashmob Sale Campaign, where certain categories of goods will be discounted and 99% discount will be back. Flashmob Sale, which provides discounts up to 99% percent for wide selection of products such as camera, smartwatch, and smartphone, as well as discounts on groceries and fashion, will be ready to be embraced by customers starting from tomorrow (3/12). In addition, MatahariMall will give away voucher worth for IDR 100,000 for 5.000 first users.
