The Jari team
Jari Visibility (Jarvis), a team monitoring app developed by Jakarta-headquartered Jari Solusi Internasional, has raised an undisclosed sum in a seed financing round from UMG Idealab.
The startup will use the money to increase sales and marketing of Jarvis and focus on strengthening infrastructure to support new product launches.
Jari develops apps for the financial services industry (multi-financing companies, and fintech) with thousands of users. The company says that for the past three years, it has been receiving requests from outside the financial industry for apps to monitor the activities of employees who work remotely.
To cater to this need, Jari extended Jarvis to support the operations of employees, who continue to work in the field during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Through Jarvis, we want to help reach more companies outside the financial sector to increase the productivity of field personnel with the technology we have developed,” said CEO Stephanus Lutfi.
The app is equipped with features such as managing employee attendance with check-in and check-out selfies and GPS-based location recording. This makes it easier for employees to record their attendance directly via smartphones and upload reports on the available web dashboard.
It boasts of a Smartform feature, which enables users to use a digital form in the app according to the requirements of the company. Besides, its Task Assignment feature helps a superior to coordinate with the personnel under him and monitor everything from the process to the results of his team’s work.
Jarvis is also equipped with the Last Location feature to view the last position of personnel in the field.
