INTRODUCTION

In this rapid technological development, Indonesia is undergoing a transformation in terms of transportation due to increasingly modern technological developments. This can be seen from the emergence of online-based transportation models in big cities in Indonesia, such as Gojek, derived from applications created by the nation's children. Gojek is a company engaged in online transportation services that are often used by people to get to the intended place. Connected with an application to meet with consumers. Changes in people's lifestyles that are increasingly advanced make business people start competition in the online transportation business. Therefore, it is imperative for entrepreneurs to think of the right competition strategy for their business so that they can meet effective goals. This second development makes other online transportation companies glance and cannot match the gojek and grab. The problem sought is to analyze the advantages of the strategy used by Gojek and Grab so that it is widely used among the public. To look for comparisons in competitive advantage. How to analyze the competitive advantages of gojek and grab companies.

The popular term for this core idea is generic strategy.ï¿½ From the scheme described by Michael Porter, many planners believe that any long-term strategy should be derived from a company's efforts to gain competitive advantage based on one of the following three generic strategies (Muchson & Kumar, 2023).

a) Achieve overall low-cost leadership in the industry.

b) Creating and marketing unique (distinctive) products for different groups of customers through differentiation.

c) Cater to the specific needs of one or several groups of consumers or industrial buyers, focusing on their cost or differentiation.

Currently, the number of vehicles in Jember Regency is increasing because the population is increasing from year to year. From data taken from the development of the number of vehicles by vehicle type based on Jember resort police records. ( Satlantas Polres Jember, accessed 2022).

The increase in the number of vehicles from year to year causes congestion in Jember City. To overcome congestion problems every year to year, the government provides infrastructure for public transportation facilities such as pedicabs, damri buses, car transportation, trains, motorcycle taxis and others. The presence of public transportation that is often used by the community makes it meet the needs of the community. One of the public transportation that is often used by the community both among teenagers and adults is online motorcycle taxis. Which currently meets the market share and is in great demand in Jember Regency, namely gojek and grab.

In this rapid technological development, Jember Regency is undergoing a transformation in terms of transportation due to increasingly modern technological developments. This can be seen from the emergence of online-based transportation models in big cities in Indonesia, such as gojek, derived from applications created by the nation's children. Gojek is a company engaged in online transportation services that are often used by people to get to the intended place. Connect with an application to meet with consumers. Changes in people's lifestyles that are increasingly advanced make business people start competition in the online transportation business. Therefore, it has become imperative for entrepreneurs to think of the right competition strategy for their business so that they can meet effective goals. This second development makes other online transportation companies glance and cannot match the gojek and grab (Munandar & Munthe, 2019).

Gojek is a technology company from Indonesia that serves transportation through ojek services. The company was founded in 2010 in Jakarta by Nadiem Makarim. Currently, gojek is available in 50 cities in Indonesia. Until June 2016, the Gojek application has been downloaded almost 10 million times. Gojek also has a digital payment service called gopay. In addition to Indonesia, gojek services are now available in Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore. On May 17, 2021, Tokopedia and Gojek announced the official merger and formed the GoTo Group (Prananda et al., 2020).

Gojek does not want to stop as an online-based transportation company, but transform as a financial technology (fintech) company through gopay. At the end of 2016 Gojek acquired ponselpay, a financial company owned by MVComerce that already has an electronic money (e-money) license from Bank Indonesia. Gojek needs the license to develop the gopay they have developed to become emoney.

While Grab is a technology company originating from Singapore which was originally founded in Malaysia. Starting from transportation services, the company now has other services such as food delivery and payment that can be accessed via mobile applications. In Indonesia, Grab serves vehicle orders such as ojek (grabbike), car (grabcar), taxi (grabtaxi), courier (grabexpress), food delivery (grabfood), and carpooling (grabhitch car). Grab is currently available in 125 cities across Indonesia, from Banda Aceh-Aceh to Jayapura-Papua. (Understanding Grab, accessed 2022). Here are the advantages of gojek and grab based on the form of application and comments from resource persons in Jember Regency.

From the table above, it can be concluded that Gojek has a feature service that makes it easier for users or users to choose their needs or wants, can order services once 2 drivers at the same time, food store servicesï¿½ or food merchants enter the applicationï¿½ more or have been recorded into the gojek application, for drivers it takes a little time to find drivers. Gojek's competitive advantage itself in terms of cost offers a relatively low price and fits in the pocket plusï¿½ vouchers that are obtained and if paid with a GoPay digital wallet, ï¿½cashback benefits can be obtained.ï¿½ In terms of innovation, it offers a much varied service. (Gojek New Feature, accessed 2022).

Grab has few feature services and is separate from cashless services, can order more than 1 service at the same time, fewï¿½ food merchants are registered withï¿½ grab food, for grab easier to get drivers. Grab's competitive advantage does not want to be outdone by Gojek's saigan. Grab offers many promos by entering the promo code in your inbox.ï¿½ In terms of innovation, Grab also has a new safety center feature while using Grab. The look is changed, and can have 4 orders at once. (Grab's New Feature, accessed 2022).

Gojek and Grab as two companies that dominate the online transportation business in Indonesia certainly have differences in serving consumers or users. Customer satisfaction is one thing that must be considered in the competition of the online motorcycle taxi transportation service business both in driver friendliness, driving safety, price suitability, service quality, and other indicators that can support the level of consumer satisfaction. The problem of service that supports customer satisfaction is not a difficult thing to do but is often not paid attention to by many companies, especially transportation.

Jember Regency is one of the choices of districts that have the potential to develop the transportation business. Besides being known as a student city and is a leading educational city in East Java, Jember is also known for its rich natural and cultural charm. Seeing the large number of immigrants from various regions, both as students and tourists, makes the need for mobility in Jember Regency increase. The presence of Go-ride and Grabbike in Jember Regency makes it easy for the people of Jember Regency, namely students, tourists, employees, employees, traders and the wider community in general to get transportation quickly, and can always come to the place they want without having to go to highways, public places, terminals or bases (Kurniawan et al., 2021).

The first online transportation to enter Jember Regency was gojek, namely in August 2017, because the many facilities and services provided by this transportation service boomed in Jember Regency ï¿½so that it had many consumers. Not long after that, Grab transportation services also appeared which also offered good facilities and services so that they could compete with Gojek. In this competitive condition, both companies continue to make efforts to increase customer loyalty. Thus, a strategy is needed as a differentiation for each company in attracting consumer interest and in an effort to maintain consumers to continue using the company's services in the future. This research was conducted to analyze the advantages of the strategies used by Gojek and Grab so that they are widely used among the public. To look for comparisons in competitive advantage. How are the competitive advantages of Gojek and Grab companies

From the description above, the formulation of the problem in this study is: (1). What is the current strategy of gojek and grab advantages?; (2). How are Gojek and Grab's efforts in increasing the market in Jember Regency?; (3). What are the supporting and inhibiting factors of Gojek and Grab's strategy of excellence in increasing the market in Jember Regency?

RESEARCH METHOD

This research uses a qualitative approach and this type of research is descriptive. Qualitative research methods are research that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words of people or observable behavior. The definition emphasizes more on the type of data collected in research, namely qualitative descriptive data. In other words, qualitative research is research that produces descriptive data and seeks to explore the meaning of a phenomenon based on existing facts. (Djamal et al., 2020) Researchers use a qualitative approach so that researchers can approach directly in the field, to understand the phenomena that occur in the field both from a comparative analysis of gojek and grab's advantage strategies in increasing the market in Jember Regency.ï¿½ In this study, researchers also used SWOT analysis (Strenght, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threarts).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The object of this study is gojek and grab drivers as well as gojek and grab customers in Jember Regency. In this study, researchers used SWOT analysis (Strenght, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threarts). SWOT analysis is one method used to evaluate strengthsï¿½ (Strenghts), ï¿½weaknesses ï¿½(Weakneses), opportunities ï¿½(Opportunities), and threats (Threats) in a business speculation. Some experts say that SWOT analysis is a classic strategy planning instrument that provides a simple way to estimate the best way to determine a strategy. This analysis is descriptive and subjective. It is possible that several people in the organization provide different analysis results in the four parts of the SWOT analysis. This is very natural to happen, because SWOT analysis is an analysis that will provide output in the form of direction not solutions to a problem. Although the directive can be interpreted as a form of solution, basically the directive / recommendation produced aims to maintain strength and increase the advantage of existing opportunities, while reducing shortcomings and avoiding threats. This approach is based on logic that maximizes strengths and opportunitiesï¿½ while minimizing weaknessesï¿½ and threats.ï¿½ Briefly, SWOT analysis can be applied by analyzing and sorting out things that affect the four factors. Thus, the results of the analysis can form a strategic plan based on the results of the analysis of the company's strategic factors (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) (Rangkuti, 2009).

The target to increase the market in Jember Regency that is good cannot be achieved without the right strategy. The strategic planning that must be prepared is adjusted to the values espoused by each company, as well as the company's goals. It must also consider external situations and conditions, both present and future. Strategic planning also needs to consider the potential and strengths possessed by the internal company and must determine the resources needed to achieve company goals.

One of the approaches taken in increasing the market in Jember Regency is through SWOT analysis. This analysis is a technique used to quickly highlight the company's strategy situation. The description of internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) with external factors (opportunities and challenges) on Gojek and Grab is as follows:

1. Gojek SWOT Analysis
