The fresh capital raised by the company will be used to develop products that will help to establish the name in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities of Indonesia. According to McEasy, the start-up has seen a growth of 12X in the last 18 months of its functioning.

Co-founder of McEasy, Raymond Sutjiono said that he met the other co-founder of the company Ekowaluyo at Purdue University where both of them were working in structural engineering. While mentioning the expertise of Ekowaluyo, Sutjiono said that he is a master of structure design and program management in cars while he also focuses on system control, data handling, and engine electronics. The two friends and colleagues started McEasy after they returned to Indonesia to make hybrid motorcycles but decided to come up with a smart tracker for motorcycles as the market was shifting to the digital world instead of hybrid bikes. After noticing that the trackers were cost-excessive, they decided on another shift to automotive and B2B logistics. Suijiono also mentioned that they wanted to come up with a digital solution that could enhance the business process as the logistics companies were still using traditional methods.

According to a statement by the co-founder of East Ventures, Willson Cuaca has said that McEasy and the team have successfully accelerated the business in the post-pandemic situation and have combined logistics and technology in the best way possible to enhance their services and offerings, strengthen its presence in the market and maintain the profitability.
