Overview
JKTGO.com was born in Jakarta and shaped by the city. It started as the Metro Jakarta City Guide, curating the finest the metropolis has to offer, and has grown into a media company with a bigger goal: to be Indonesia's go-to guide for life's greatest findings.
A guide naturally leads to the next step. Readers who discover an event want a ticket, readers who find a great spot want a deal, and a loyal audience also comes looking for news, jobs, and a chance to have their say.
Vastech partnered with JKTGO to turn that audience into a product. Instead of separate sites for every service, we designed and built one mobile-first web app where JKTGO's products live under one account: event ticketing, voucher commerce, a news portal, a job board, and surveys.
Behind it sits a single admin dashboard where the JKTGO team manages vouchers, tracks sales, and redeems tickets at the door.
“From a City Guide to One App for Tickets, Deals, News, Jobs & Surveys.”
The Challenge
A Growing Media Brand Shouldn't Need a Separate Website for Every Product
JKTGO's audience does more than read. Every product the brand wanted to offer came with its own moving parts:
- Event Ticketing
- Voucher Sales
- Flash Sales
- Online Payments
- Payment Confirmation
- Ticket Redemption
- News Publishing
- Job Listings
- Survey Campaigns
- Reader Accounts
- Sales Reporting
Running each of these on a different platform would mean separate logins for readers, scattered data for the team, and manual work every time a ticket is sold or redeemed.
JKTGO needed one product that keeps its audience in a single place, takes payments reliably, and gives the team a clear view of what is selling.
We Designed for the Phone in Your Hand, Then for the Team Behind It.
Most of JKTGO's audience arrives on a phone, from social media or a shared link. Vastech designed the reader experience mobile-first as a web app, so there is nothing to install and every product is one tap away from the home feed.
The journeys were mapped one by one: discover an event, buy a ticket or voucher, pay, receive a QR code, and get scanned at the venue.
The visual language follows JKTGO's brand: bold yellow, clean white cards, playful 3D illustrations, and clear price and discount labels.
The admin side runs on desktop, built for the team that manages vouchers, watches sales, and scans tickets at the door.
One Web App. Every JKTGO Product.
Vastech delivered a mobile-first web app that puts JKTGO's ticketing, commerce, news, jobs, and surveys behind one account, with checkout powered by the Xendit payment gateway.
A connected admin dashboard gives the JKTGO team control over vouchers, sales, buyers, and ticket redemption.

One Account, Every Portal
JKTGO shows how a media brand can turn its audience into a product ecosystem. Readers move from a news story to an event, from an event to a ticket, and from a ticket to the venue door without leaving the app.
All connected through one platform and one dashboard.
