[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province has selected the 'NHN PAYCO Consortium' as the preferred negotiation partner for the public delivery app construction project.

Korea Gyeonggi Corporation, under Gyeonggi Province, announced on the 6th that the NHN PAYCO Consortium was finally selected as the preferred negotiation partner for the 'Public Delivery App Construction Project' (tentative name), which is being promoted to enhance the convenience of residents' lives and protect the rights and interests of platform workers and small business owners.

The consortium includes ▲ delivery app (Meokkebi) ▲ delivery agencies (Saenggakdaero, Barogo, Vroong, etc.) ▲ POS (POSBank, EasyPOS, etc.) ▲ franchises (BBQ, Jaws Tteokbokki, CU, GS, 7-Eleven, etc.) ▲ associations (Korea Foodservice Central Association, etc.).

PAYCO operates the simple payment service PAYCO, and PAYCO Order, a mobile order payment service, is an offline simple payment solution that provides ordering and payment at once using mobile devices. The service areas are expanding to include coupon services, meal tickets, and transportation tickets.

POSBank, EasyPOS, and others participating in this consortium have expertise in various logistics solutions (delivery and shipping) and POS solutions, and plan to support automation of order processing and delivery parts for affiliated stores in the development of the public delivery app.

Also, Meokkebi, a delivery intermediary, and delivery agencies such as Saenggakdaero and Barogo are participating in the consortium to establish a fast delivery and smooth ordering system for the public delivery app. In addition, the Korea Foodservice Central Association will work to improve the benefits of small business owners.

The NHN PAYCO Consortium proposed the direction of the public delivery app as a regional community role based on local currency and ethical payment to revitalize the local economy. In particular, they promised to actively invest PAYCO's infrastructure and sales network to provide residents with a more stable and convenient public delivery app service.

Korea Gyeonggi Corporation and the NHN PAYCO Consortium will select local governments that participated in the pilot area contest and conduct beta testing after September.

Lee Seok-hoon, CEO of Korea Gyeonggi Corporation, emphasized, "Due to the recent Baedal Minjok incident, interest in the development of a public delivery app among small business owners, Gyeonggi residents, and the public is greater than ever," adding, "We will do our best to develop a highly satisfactory public delivery app."
