M

any companies, whether small and big, stubbornly maintain that buying a car for business is good. But others are on the other way around.

Why?

Owning asset can be one of the reasons for buying a business vehicle. This camp doesn’t take whether they take out a car loan or buy the vehicle outright as an issue.

Another camp preferring leasing has also equally strong reasons.

Buying usually requires a larger upfront cost than leasing and besides, the value of your vehicle will depreciate in time, making your investment less valuable.

The two camps have more reasons to argue, which shows both buying and leasing business cars have advantages and disadvantages.

Despite the differences, the strategies will not have effects on employees and companies until they are implemented.

Companies that don’t have a car commonly adopt reimbursement policy. It requires employees whose car is also used as a business vehicle to show receipts of gasoline purchase as reimbursement requirement.

In reality, however, it is frequently found that the employees fail to show the receipts because either tucked away or lost, which put them at disadvantage. 

For companies that own a car, whether leasing or buying, providing transport budget is a must as the car needs gasoline and maintenance cost. When it comes travel expense, they also adopt reimbursement policy. The problem is the exact amount of the budget cannot be controlled because it is hard to detect whether the car is used for business trips or personal matters.

Using the method, however, can potentially disrupt the financial balance of the companies because the transport bill is unpredictable.

So, there is no denying that inefficient travel expense is increasingly becoming a central issue when it comes to the need of business vehicles.

Is there another alternative solution to the issue to be considered?

Let’s take a look at ride-hailing service companies.

Millions of people are already accustomed to using the kind of transportation.

The ride-hailing service is becoming popular among passengers because it offers a sensational riding experience.

When using the ride-hailing service, they feel as though they drove their own personal car.

The people’s increasing familiarity with the ride-hailing services has prompted Gojek to offer GoCorp.

Specially designed for companies, GoCorp can be one of the ride-hailing services that can meet the need of safe and comfortable business transport for employees or business players.

GoCorp has additional values that companies can reap.  Companies that adopt GoCorp system can not only control maximum budget limit for transportation usage, but also enables decision makers to monitor employees, mobilities and spending because it is equipped with a specific dashboard. As GoCorp doesn't have a limit of maximum or minimum budget spending, it is suitable even for small-and-medium enterprises (SME) that need to support its employees' mobilities. All Gojek transport services are covered by GoCorp Payment such as; GoCar, GoRide, GoCar L, GoRide Protect+, GoCar Protect+.

With a system allowing for the control of maximum budget limit for transportation usage, GoCorp provides a solution to the issue of inefficiency in transport expense that many companies are facing.

Gojek Marketing Transport head Amanda Parikesit says that utilizing GoCorp enables business owners to save operational cost. It can also even remove the maintenance cost from companies that own or operate business vehicles.

GoCorp can also serve as alternative transportation distribution allowance for employees each month.

Companies that take advantage of GoCorp can also arrange and monitor the service utilization through GoCorp portal as all travelling transactions are recorded automatically and presented real-time by the system.

What is more, GoCorp also produces data and insights from the business trip periodically.

The report can be used to evaluate the company, especially with regard to increasing efficiency in operational business cost.

Apart from helping reduce the operational cost, such transactions can also prevent companies from the possible risk of misusing the facility by employees.
