On 26 April a smart partnership between MaGIC alumni SERV and JomParking with Bateriku.com was announced with the aim of bringing convenience to Malaysia’s drivers.

The startups, each possessing a distinct expertise, from parking payment to battery replacement and car servicing, have described the collaboration as a more convenient way to help drivers resolve their driving and car maintenance issues. 

MaGIC alumni SERV CEO Arief Imran explained that the collaboration is “one initiative for (them) to support one another in becoming the best in (their) fields of service”. MaGIC alumni JomParking Founder Muhamad Nasir believes the collaboration between JomParking, Bateriku.com and SERV will create a high impact solution, with users able to benefit from parking payment, battery replacement and car servicing. Despite the different service approaches, Bateriku.com Founder Azarol Faiza said “each vertical of JomParking, SERV and Bateriku.com complements one another”.

JomParking and SERV are MaGIC alumni, having participated in the Global Accelerator Programme’s (GAP) inaugural batch in 2017. GAP aims to help entrepreneurs accelerate growth by providing four months of mentoring from technical and business experts, direct access to route-to-market partners and benefits worth more than USD500,000 from partners.

Ashran Dato Ghazi, CEO of MaGIC, said: “We are really proud of both JomParking and SERV for how much they have grown in a mere six months after graduating from our global accelerator programme. Testimonies like this from our alumni are the real-life results which help demonstrate the effectiveness of the programmes that we run. This strategic partnership between the three startups demonstrates how inter-connectivity and collaboration thrives within Malaysia’s entrepreneurship ecosystem as well as pointing to industries that will drive growth in the future.”

JomParking is a mobile application that aids car owners in their payment of parking fees. The service even allows the extension of one’s parking duration cash-free and instantly. They cover parking spaces managed by DBKL and few other local authorities and look towards further expansion in the near future.

Believing that a well-maintained vehicle is the key to road safety, SERV establishes online platforms with a “Car Service Anywhere” concept. They provide “portable” car maintenance services by bringing freelance car mechanics to users. The company promises transparency by providing users with a comprehensive car health report and a price quote prior to the hiring of their service.
