DCCS x eTap: Number One Meets Number One

If Metro Manila’s late-night rendezvous across all social classes are 7-11 Convenience Stores, Davao boasts Davao Central Convenience Store, a lowly, one-stop-shop for everyone’s needs. From school supplies to personal needs, these convenience stores are Davao’s go-to. Starting as a small convenience store along Anda Street, DCCS paved the way for Davaoeños to define what convenience is for them. Today, DCCS is now Davao’s #1 and most famous local convenience store since 1998.

DCCS’s goal is to penetrate and be a part of the modern Davaoeño’s lifestyle. Since it started as a need for a 24/7 one-stop-shop, it has long catered to the ever-changing needs of Davaoeños, including a fast, world-class, and hassle-free machine. Enter eTap. For the past 3 years, eTap has seen a smooth partnership with DCCS, both brands evolving to fit the fast-paced lifestyle of Davaoeños with DCCS’s product offerings and eTap introducing a seamless way of digital transactions, strengthening the digital ecosystem by offering accessible cash-in points for e-wallet users.

At the onset of the pandemic, courier and delivery services were at an all-time high and so Davao cradled a growing community of diligent riders. With this socioeconomic shift, eTap stepped up to the challenge and catered to this community of riders, creating specially crafted campaigns targeting these riders and cementing in eTap’s market leadership in Davao. Specifically, eTap helps riders remit their cash-on-delivery sales quicker than other traditional channels, thereby making a rider’s work efficient and convenient.

As of writing, DCCS has over 150+ branches in the Davao region and is standing strong being the #1 in the region. eTap has also established its name as the #1 most trusted payment kiosk in the region, and it was made possible with the help of stronghold brands such as DCCS. At the back of the partnership between these caliber brands lies the passion and drive to ensure that as the customers grow and change, the brands do, too, with excellence and agility.
