Launching the first integrated gas station and post office model in Vietnam

DNVN - On June 26 in Ho Chi Minh City, GOZO Express and Indel Petro officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement, marking the first step in implementing the GOZO Station model, the first "integrated gas station - post office" in Vietnam.

GOZO Station is an integrated model between a post office and a fuel station, built on the existing advantages of Indel Petro infrastructure and a standardized operating system from GOZO Express. The delivery points will be located right on the gas station premises, where there is often a large amount of traffic, the center of the residential area, and especially convenient for implementing the franchise model.

This is not only an effective solution to utilize space but also helps bring logistics services closer to mass consumers.

In addition, on the basis of "greening" the logistics industry, GOZO Station also takes advantage of the transformation strategy of Indel Petro, which is promoting the "clean gas station" model, towards environmentally friendly energy.

When the post office is integrated into the gas station space, consumers not only save time, but also contribute to reducing emissions due to discrete trips between service points. A multi-functional stop full of sustainability. The previously unused space in the gas station premises is now a community connection point, where people can send and receive goods close to home, without having to travel far or queue at a large center.

With GOZO Express, this is a springboard for rapid network expansion, saving initial investment costs and significantly reducing the setup time for each franchise point.

For consumers, GOZO Station brings an accessible, familiar and convenient logistics experience to everyday life. With each gas station integrated with a post office, users can fill up their gas, send goods, and receive international delivery in just one stop. This is how logistics becomes friendly, practical and part of modern urban life. One stop connects the entire supply chain.

According to Mr. Tran Van The - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Indel Petro, strategic investor and co-creator of the GOZO Station model, with more than 50 gas stations spread across Vietnam of Indel Petro, the biggest problem is no longer expansion but repositioning the value of use. He commented that gas stations in the transition period cannot just stop at "refueling", but need to become a point to continue the chain of utilities serving life.

“We have the infrastructure but there is still a lot of space left empty. A large part of the area at the stations is not being exploited effectively. We want each station to be a place where people can send goods, drink coffee, and make international shipping transactions. A multi-utility destination," said Mr. The.

Before coming to GOZO Express, Indel Petro had worked with many larger units. However, the final choice was GOZO Express because of its “long-term vision, sustainable approach and practical implementation capabilities”.

From a market perspective, Mr. Phan Duy Minh - Founder & CEO of Gozo Express believes that logistics in Vietnam is still a "blank area" with many untapped opportunities, especially in rural, remote and isolated areas. Large enterprises are often concentrated in urban areas, leaving a large amount of demand that has not been properly served. GOZO Express aims for a "decent startup" model: where each post office is an independent business unit, well-trained, transparently operated and living from its own community.

GOZO Express welcomes participation from a variety of stakeholders: individual investors who want to try their hand at the logistics industry, existing units that need a more optimal operating model, and especially the existing post office community.

At the event, GOZO Express officially introduced the new generation postal franchise model, one of the important pillars in the acceleration phase of expanding the standardized logistics ecosystem. This model is methodically designed, operated on a modern technology platform, with the philosophy of "standard from the beginning - durable from the root", aiming to popularize logistics services to every district, every commune, every apartment building.

This is the official post office model in the GOZO Express system, welcoming the support of many different groups: individual investors who want to try their hand at the logistics industry, existing units that need a more optimal operating model, and especially the post office community that has a frontline force to spread the GOZO Express brand value.

According to Mr. Andy Vu - General Director of DigiMind Group ecosystem, Director of Franchise and Business Development of GOZO Express, Vietnam logistics is entering the "golden" period for developing the franchise model. The increasingly transparent and complete legal environment - from tightening control of counterfeit goods, freight rates to regulations on licenses and user rights - is creating a solid foundation for the standard post office model.

Vietnam is currently in the top 5 ASEAN in terms of logistics efficiency index, a market with full leverage to test and replicate new operating models such as: franchise logistics hub, asset-light logistics, or technology-integrated logistics. In that context, GOZO Express chose the path of standardizing the entire process not only to develop the brand, but also to provide logistics start-up opportunities to each locality.
