I. Executive Summary
SkyCourier is a proposed shipping company that aims to introduce the use of drone
technology in the courier services market of Jakarta. With the help of cutting-edge drone
technology, SkyCourier seeks to transform the delivery of small packages and documents in
Jakarta, providing a faster, more efficient, and cost-effective courier service. The courier
services market in Indonesia is predicted to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate
(CAGR) of 14.6% from 2020 to 2025, which presents a significant opportunity for
SkyCourier to leverage the burgeoning demand for courier services. The following business
proposal provides a detailed plan for the launch of SkyCourier in Jakarta, including a market
analysis, competitive analysis, services offered, financial planning, marketing strategy, and
future outlook.

II. Market Analysis


The Indonesian courier services market is a highly competitive space with numerous
players vying for market share. Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, represents one of the most
significant markets in the country, with a population of over 10 million and a thriving
business community. According to Research and Markets, the courier services market in
Indonesia is set to grow at a CAGR of 14.6% from 2020 to 2025, driven primarily by the rise
in e-commerce and the increased demand for delivery services. Furthermore, the traditional
courier services sector is experiencing a shift towards the use of technology to enhance their
operations, which has resulted in increased efficiency and reduced delivery times.

III. Competitive Analysis


The courier services market in Jakarta is dominated by several established players,
including JNE, Tiki, and J&T. However, none of these players are currently using drone
technology, which provides an opportunity for SkyCourier to differentiate itself and become
a first-mover in the market. The major players in the market provide similar services,
including express delivery, courier services, freight forwarding, and logistics solutions.
SkyCourier's focus on using drone technology for small packages and documents represents a
unique selling proposition that can set it apart from its competitors.

IV. Services Offered


SkyCourier aims to provide a fast, efficient, and cost-effective courier service that
leverages drone technology. The company will focus on the delivery of small packages and
documents, providing an innovative solution to a critical problem that most courier
companies face: traffic congestion. With drone technology, SkyCourier will be able to deliver
packages quickly and efficiently, reducing the delivery time significantly. SkyCourier's
services will be available 24/7, and customers can place their orders through the company's
website or mobile application. The company will also provide real-time tracking of packages,
ensuring that customers are always informed of their delivery status.

V. Revenue Streams
SkyCourier's revenue streams will primarily come from delivery fees charged to
customers based on the weight of the package and the distance to be covered. Additionally,
the company plans to generate revenue from advertising and sponsorships. SkyCourier will
use its drones as advertising platforms, and businesses can sponsor the drones to display their
logos or messages. The company will also offer additional services, such as express delivery
and same-day delivery, which will provide an additional revenue stream.

VI. Cost Structure


The primary costs associated with SkyCourier's operations will be the cost of drones and
salaries of employees. The cost of drones will depend on the type of drones the company
chooses to use. SkyCourier plans to use high-quality drones capable of carrying packages
weighing up to 5 kg. The cost of drones will be approximately USD 3,000 each, and the
company plans to start with ten drones, which will cost approximately USD 30,000.
Additionally, SkyCourier will incur costs related to the maintenance and repair of the drones.
The company will also need to hire pilots to operate the drones, and the company plans to
pay them a salary of around USD 1,000 per month. Furthermore, the company will also incur
costs related to website and mobile application development, marketing, insurance, and office
rent.

VII. Revenue Projections


SkyCourier projects to generate revenue of USD 500,000 in the first year of operations,
increasing to USD 3.5 million by the fifth year. The company aims to capture a significant
market share within the first two years of operations, leveraging its unique selling proposition
of using drone technology for small package and document delivery. The revenue projections
are based on a conservative estimate of delivering 10 packages per day per drone, with an
average delivery fee of USD 5 per package. Additionally, the company expects to generate
revenue from advertising and sponsorships, which can add to the overall revenue stream.

VIII. Break-Even Analysis


SkyCourier's break-even point is estimated to be at approximately 500 deliveries per
month. The company aims to achieve this target within the first six months of operations. The
break-even point is calculated based on the total costs associated with the company's
operations, including drone costs, salaries, maintenance and repair costs, website and
application development costs, marketing costs, insurance costs, and office rent.

IX. Marketing Strategy


SkyCourier will leverage a multi-channel marketing approach, which includes digital
marketing, social media marketing, and offline marketing. The company plans to launch a

comprehensive digital marketing campaign, including search engine optimization, pay-per-
click advertising, and email marketing. Additionally, the company plans to utilize social
media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, to create brand awareness and
engage with potential customers. Offline marketing efforts will include flyer distribution,
billboard advertising, and participating in trade shows and exhibitions.
SkyCourier's marketing strategy aims to create brand awareness, engage with potential
customers, and establish itself as a leading player in the courier services market of Jakarta
