GOJEK IN 2015

Indonesia’s “go-to” app for everything

Today, Gojek runs the equivalent of nearly ten Indian unicorns rolled into one. But in 2015, they had just four services – GoRide, GoFood, GoMart, GoSend. They were growing rapidly and adding more services to their arsenal.

challenge 1

Gojek’s systems were overloaded

By the end of 2015, Gojek’s systems were unable to handle the ever increasing and large number of daily orders. Meanwhile, Uber, Instacart and Grab were offering similar services to the same users.

challenge 2

And their drivers overwhelmed

Every few months, Gojek introduced a new service, each wildly different from the last. Every service looked and worked differently and drivers found the app confusing.

Enter obvious

Gojek approached us to redesign their driver app

A design system for speed at scale

We designed components and patterns so all services on the app looked and worked in a similar way. Partners intuitively knew how to use the app and Gojek’s team could build UI quicker and with less effort.

20+

Services have adopted the design system since 2016

From a

x 10

unicorn
to a
decacorn

10x

By 2019, Gojek became Indonesia’s first decacorn. Gojek’s growth was in part fuelled by the design system and the redesign of the driver app.

$7.1bn

In 2019 alone, Gojek added $7.1 billion dollars to the Indonesian economy via driver incomes and revenue for small businesses.

It was a pleasure to work with Obvious. They are genuinely passionate about what they do, and they bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table.
