DriveZ, a subsidiary of Flare Inc., receives strategic investment from Thailand's long-established Nai Lert Group, strengthening service quality and operations
DriveZ Co., Ltd., the Thai subsidiary of Flare Inc., has received a strategic investment from Nai Lert Group, one of Thailand's leading long-established business groups. DriveZ will draw on the group's hospitality expertise to raise the service quality and operational standards of its driver dispatch service "DDash".
DriveZ will work with Nai Lert Group to improve the service quality and strengthen the operating structure of its existing driver dispatch service, “DDash”.
Flare Inc. (Head Office: Tokyo) announced that DriveZ Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Bangkok, Thailand; hereinafter “DriveZ”), our local subsidiary in Thailand that operates the corporate driver dispatch service “DDash”, has received a strategic investment from Nai Lert Group, one of Thailand’s leading long-established business groups.
DriveZ runs a driver dispatch business in Thailand built on Flare’s in-house technologies, “Flare Dash” (a field worker management solution) and “Flare Analytics” (a driving behavior analytics solution). By digitalizing attendance management and safe-driving monitoring that were traditionally handled manually, it provides corporate customers with a service that combines transparent attendance records, operational efficiency and safety.
Since the service launched in July 2024, the number of customers has grown to more than 50 companies, and the service area has expanded from Bangkok to major industrial regions such as Rayong and Korat. Customers come mainly from large manufacturers, trading companies, logistics and finance, and include both Japanese and Thai companies. DriveZ provides solutions tailored to the diverse challenges these companies face, including improving operational efficiency, digital transformation of operations, strengthening safety management, and proper operation to prevent fraud.
Nai Lert Group is a pioneer that has led the development of Thailand’s transport infrastructure, having introduced the country’s first public bus and boat services in the early 20th century. It has since expanded into hotels, real estate, cultural promotion and luxury hospitality, and drew attention with the opening of Aman Nai Lert Bangkok in April 2024.
Through this investment, DriveZ will deepen its collaboration with Nai Lert Group and, drawing on the group’s expertise and network in high-end hospitality, aims to establish a new standard in both service quality and operational standards.
Going forward, DriveZ will focus on corporate driver services, working to build safe, reliable and future-oriented mobility infrastructure while pursuing sustainable improvement in service quality and strategic market expansion.
