HERE Technologies, the leading location data and technology platform, today announced that on-demand delivery service in Thailand, SKOOTAR, is leveraging HERE Geocoding and Routing application programming interfaces (APIs) to optimize its search and routing capabilities for its delivery operations.
The on-demand delivery market in Thailand is experiencing growth, driven by the rising popularity of ride-hailing and e-commerce.

In this competitive landscape, optimizing delivery routes and ensuring rider’s well-being are critical for maintaining high service standards and customer satisfaction.
Since 2018, SKOOTAR has been leveraging the HERE Location Services, extensively utilizing HERE Geocoding and Routing APIs to optimize its delivery operations and improved customer satisfaction. Initially focused on receiving and sending documents, SKOOTAR has since expanded its customer base to include e-commerce, food delivery, pick-up truck delivery services. The company also offers customized delivery solutions tailored for individual business needs.
With HERE playing a crucial role in meeting the company’s growing service demands, SKOOTAR relies heavily on HERE Location Services to ensure efficient and accurate deliveries. By providing tailored location technology solutions that address SKOOTAR’s specific business needs, HERE has been instrumental in supporting their expansion. The HERE Platform not only enhances SKOOTAR’s existing capabilities but also opens new opportunities for scaling operations, improving service quality, and driving future growth.
Teepob Kitchawattana (Nu) CTO & Co-Founder of SKOOTAR said, “HERE’s advanced geocoding and routing APIs have been a vital technology for SKOOTAR, empowering us to deliver efficient transportation services to our customers. These APIs play a crucial role in enabling us to meet our clients' diverse delivery needs effectively.”
