"Supporting Small Business Owners" KT Signs Business Agreement with Mannaplanet

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] KT announced on the 28th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with platform IT company Mannaplanet to jointly develop telecommunication digital transformation (DX) services that help small business owners.

Through this agreement, both companies will combine KT's telecommunication DX services for small business owners with Mannaplanet's order payment platform to jointly promote projects that help small business owners digitally transform their businesses.

The agreement includes ▲ cooperation in the non-face-to-face order and payment service sector ▲ cooperation in the mobile kiosk service sector ▲ cooperation to promote and activate marketing targeting small business owners ▲ activation of the introduction of telecommunication DX products for small business owners.

First, KT plans to link Mannaplanet's Mannashop service with KT's Small Order service to provide a service where customers can pre-order menus and request delivery. Additionally, KT will provide its location-based messaging and store information notification message services to Mannaplanet franchise stores, offering store owners opportunities to directly promote and market their shops.

KT expects that through cooperation with Mannaplanet, it will be able to expand telecommunication DX services that directly assist more small business owners in store operations, promotion, and sales.

KT provides telecommunication DX services for small business owners based on corporate messaging and call telecommunication products. The 'Store Information Notification Message' service, which sends store information via text message to customers who call the store, has over 40,000 small business subscribers using it for business operations. KT also offers various services to help small business owners operate and promote their stores and expand sales, such as 'Small Order,' which allows easy ordering of food or drinks via text message, and 'Location Message,' which sends promotional messages to customers near the store.

Mannaplanet is a platform service company that provides services to Mannaplus, Mannacorporation's delivery agency brand. It operates the food ordering application 'MannaEats,' the integrated store management system 'MannaPOS,' and the order reception website 'Mannashop.'
