SM expands waste diversion and circular economy ecosystem

PLDT Enterprise, the B2B arm of PLDT, the country's largest integrated telecommunications and digital services provider, recently bolstered its partnership with online food and grocery platform Foodpanda by providing IoT (Internet of Things) solutions that ensure reliable connectivity for the platform.

The services allow businesses to transmit data and communicate with other devices, making them an essential component in building and deploying IoT applications and solutions. For foodpanda, utilizing IoT SIMs is crucial to optimizing operations and accessing real-time data gathering.

IoT SIMs are also more secure and flexible, making them a perfect digital tool for today's evolution in delivery and logistics businesses.

"Our mission at PLDT Enterprise revolves around putting customers first and bringing their business visions to life, and we take immense pride in being Foodpanda's chosen partner on their digital transformation journey," said Albert Villa-Real, PLDT Global president and CEO and PLDT Enterprise Revenue group head.

"Committed to going the extra mile, we prioritize delivering exceptional experiences and emerging solutions to empower businesses like Foodpanda to thrive," he added.

With IoT solutions, we are at the forefront of innovation, enabling our restaurant and merchant partners to optimize their business operations while providing a seamless experience for our customers."

This level of data localization and connectivity enhances the food delivery company services in ways that result in improved efficiencies and a better overall experience for both merchants and customers.

"IoT opens up a world of possibilities for businesses, enabling them to manage multiple devices seamlessly in an integrated platform. With full control over connectivity, companies can drive operational efficiency and unlock their true potential," said Robert Jay Sumulong, Smart IoT category head at PLDT Enterprise.

Also aligned with sustainability, PLDT Enterprise's IoT solutions contribute to Foodpanda's commitment to a more sustainable food delivery industry. Foodpanda gains full visibility and control over its assets, monitoring consumption and implementing automated rules and notifications for IoT devices.

The Internet of Things is just one step toward creating a more connected, efficient and sustainable future for the country's delivery business sector.
