🚫 Why Self-Operating in Indonesia Might Be a Better Option for Your Brand

Many growing brands assume that outsourcing logistics is the simplest way to scale. While it may look convenient at first glance, there’s another path worth considering: self-operation.

🔐 The Silent Risk of Losing Control
When your entire backend is outsourced, you may also be giving up visibility and control over:

  • Your top-performing SKUs

  • Your customer data & buying behavior

  • Your long-term brand positioning.

These are the core of your business — and they deserve to be protected.

💰 Self-Operate = Safe, Profitable & Surprisingly Affordable
Let’s break the common misconception: setting up your own operations in Indonesia is absolutely manageable and cost-effective.
📦 Example (for 400–500 orders/day):
2 packing staff: IDR 7–8 million
Mini warehouse rent: IDR 2–3 million
Utilities & internet: IDR 1–2 million
Total fixed cost: ~IDR 15 million/month
Compare that with any % of monthly revenue — and see the long-term value.
