Cruise sasar masuki pasaran antarabangsa

CYBERJAYA 4 Julai - Cruise GPS System Sdn. Bhd. (Cruise), salah sebuah peneraju utama teknologi sistem penentu kedudukan satelit (GPS) tempatan, merancang menjadikan pasaran negara ASEAN sebagai batu loncatan untuk bersaing di peringkat antarabangsa.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutifnya, Isa Adam Yee berkata, ini kerana saiz pasarannya yang tidaklah begitu besar itu bukan hanya memberi ruang kepada Cruise memajukan teknologi GPSnya tetapi menjalinkan kerjasama strategik dengan syarikat pengeluar GPS utama dunia masa kini.

''Di Asia Tenggara, pasarannya adalah kecil dan untuk syarikat besar membekalkan peta serta memberikan khidmat muat turun yang terkini mungkin melibatkan kos lebih tinggi dan tidak baik untuk pelan perniagaan mereka.

''Jadi inilah kelebihan kami yang dikenal pasti ketika kami mula mahu masuki pasaran dan kita juga boleh wujud hubungan perniagaan dengan syarikat besar terbabit," katanya ketika ditemui di pejabatnya di sini.

Turut hadir Ketua Pegawai Operasi Cruise GPS System Sdn. Bhd., Syed Mohamad Taha.

Cruise yang beroperasi secara rasmi pada bulan November 2008 itu mengeluarkan dua produk GPS iaitu CRUiSE LITE and CRUiSE 1Malaysia dan sehingga kini, lebih kurang 5,000 produk GPS tersebut di pasaran tempatan.

Bermula pertengahan tahun lepas, Cruise berjaya menjalinkan kerjasama strategik dengan PLUS Expressways Bhd., Bank Rakyat dan Cyberview Sdn. Bhd.

Isa memberitahu, setakat ini, peta GPS Cruise itu merangkumi lima negara ASEAN iaitu Malaysia, Singapura, Indonesia, Thailand dan Brunei.

''Tetapi sistem kita adalah bersifat terbuka iaitu ia boleh menerima peta dari pembekal lain, selagi mereka menggunakan Window CE.

''Selain itu, para pelanggan boleh membuat muat turun maklumat peta terkini secara percuma melalui laman web kami," katanya.

Bagaimanapun beliau mengakui wujudnya persaingan bukan hanya dengan syarikat pengeluar GPS tempatan lain tetapi juga kegiatan cetak rompak.

Atas sebab itulah, katanya lagi, Cruise telah mengurangkan harga seunit produknya itu dari RM1,899 kepada RM1,599, selain mempunyai beberapa peralatan tambahan yang diberikan secara percuma.

''Mungkin mereka tawar harga rendah tetapi kita kena beri perhatian kepada kualiti kandungan dalamannya," katanya.

This GPS is China Made Personal Navigational Devices.

Its true....

[alihms]

I suspect the modus operandi is something like this: Pay the Chinese in China to develop the device for them. All they have to do here is create a simple "show-off" RnD department, doing some pretty trivial testing. Then apply for official recognition status (Sirim, MSC Status Co etc). Later claim it is all made in Malaysia.

This is somewhat similar to what CSL is doing with their hand phones.

nop, CSL handphone is not like that, they build by their self.
actually i ever going to their Kilang at Shah Alam.. and seen they built csl phone by their self,
the embedded program inside is their self not from china..
but the sparepart from china, assembling in malaysia.
(all electronic manufacturing in whole world was OEM to China, even USA, Germany, France.. etc
.. cause by low cost)

Price so expensive... GPS made in china will cost about RM500 only...

[fruitplus]

Its true...sebijik sama macam china GPS yang saya pernah pakai dulu..
Making $$$ so easy...

[badrol]

Most likely the are using mapking gps software under licenced from Mapking. Get a China made GPS hardware cheap-cheap one, asked the factory to put their logo on the device and sell it here in Malaysia.

Let see now, how many brand using licenced mapking sofware
1. Gopher
2. Cruise
3. ....
4. ....

As much as I hate to say it, but they do have a good business plan to colloborate with other corporate entity. Plus, Bank Rakyat is a well known entities in Malaysia.

However, in their website the map is.......coming soon

If RM1.8k..Better get nuvi 1460 5" wide screen, stable, worldwide support, variety of maps, a lot more.
