Background and Progress

The recent movement to integrate public delivery apps in the Greater Seoul Area is driven by clear objectives: reducing commission burdens for small business owners and enhancing consumer convenience. Starting with Incheon City, the initiative is expected to expand to Gyeonggi Province and Seoul City, presented as an alternative to the high commission rates of existing private delivery apps. According to Maekyung, each local government aims to achieve economies of scale by integrating their independently operated delivery apps and, furthermore, to strengthen the competitiveness of small delivery businesses.

Features and Expected Effects of the 'Ttaengyeo' Platform

The integrated platform, 'Ttaengyeo,' is expected to offer a user-friendly interface and various features. It will reduce the burden on small business owners by lowering commissions and provide consumers with the opportunity to use delivery services at lower prices. Additionally, it is expected to contribute to regional economic revitalization by adding features such as the sale of local specialties.
