A new Total Economic Impact study shows that SHIELD’s Device Intelligence has helped eliminate fraud and accelerate profitability, generating $104.6 million in benefits over three years for global mobility company inDrive

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SHIELD, the device-first fraud intelligence platform, releases its commissioned Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study conducted by Forrester Consulting, quantifying the potential return on investment for companies who invest in SHIELD’s Device Intelligence solution. The study evaluates investment value based on cost, benefits, flexibility, and risk, and found a substantial 1377% return on investment (ROI) for global mobility platform inDrive.

The Forrester study concludes that using SHIELD enabled the ride-hailing and urban services platform to generate benefits of $104.6 million across three years, with a payback period of less than six months and a net present value of $97.5 million across 63 geographical markets. SHIELD’s solution does not require the collection of personal data and is strictly compliant with global data protection regulations.

The study lists several key benefits of implementing SHIELD’s Device Intelligence, including:

$57.9 Million in fraud losses avoided. SHIELD’s technology enabled inDrive to prevent fraud such as driver-passenger collusion, ride monopolization, and ride-matching engine manipulation.$45.4 million saved by reducing resources needed for fraud prevention. With the ability to initiate proactive intervention against fraud, inDrive reduced the need to dedicate additional FTE resources by 92-94%, freeing up resources to expand into new markets while staying ahead of emerging threats.Accelerated market expansion and new product launches. The inDrive team noted that better fraud detection increased inDrive’s confidence in entering high-risk markets, so they could scale and grow revenues more quickly. They could also fearlessly launch new features such as diversified payment methods, improving overall service quality.Building trust in the inDrive ecosystem. Preventing fraud in real-time means that inDrive’s customers can rely on the platform for safe, transparent, and fair rides, while their drivers benefit from a system that allocates jobs more fairly.

“Our work with SHIELD has been instrumental in our fight against injustice. We’ve channeled the savings from fraud prevention into growth and innovation, passing the benefits on to our users. This has fast-tracked our path to profitability, enabling us to do more for our communities,” said Arsen Tomsky, Founder & CEO of inDrive.

The Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ study was created through interviews with inDrive representatives and analyzing financial data. You can read it in full, here.

Before using SHIELD’s Device Intelligence, inDrive tested an internally built tool to combat fraud. However, this yielded limited success as malicious users can change common identifiers such as usernames, phone numbers, and more. Hence inDrive’s decision to partner with SHIELD.

SHIELD’s platform persistently identifies every physical device on a platform with the SHIELD Device ID, eliminating fraud at the root – the devices used to create and control fake accounts. This capability combined with real-time actionable fraud signals enables businesses to detect when a good user turns bad and mitigate malicious tools such as app cloners, emulators, and GPS spoofers without requiring personally identifiable information (PII).

“These study results and our lasting collaboration with inDrive showcase what our partners already know with SHIELD – that our device-first fraud intelligence platform slashes cost, time, and other resource burdens of fraud on global businesses while enhancing fairness and fostering trust. This combination drives substantial ROI and accelerates sustainable growth,” added Justin Lie, Founder & CEO of SHIELD.

BANGKOK, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Thai indie pop–jazz outfit Jūji gracefully wraps up its debut full-length album with “Pretty Messy,” a beautifully crafted title track that invites listeners to embrace past wounds before stepping into the future.

Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and currently signed to Melodic Corner, Jūji has steadily captured audiences with its signature blend of indie pop and jazz, weaving deeply personal narratives in both English and Japanese. Its growing international presence includes performances at Bangkok Music City 2026 in Thailand, Music Lane Festival Okinawa 2026 in Japan, and Minrock Festa 2025 in Busan, South Korea.

Following these international appearances, Jūji reaches a defining milestone with the release of its debut full-length project, The 1st Album, culminating in “Pretty Messy” — a reflective and healing composition that encourages listeners to find beauty and meaning within life’s imperfections.

Finding Beauty in Imperfection

“Pretty Messy” explores the process of accepting and embracing sadness. Inspired by real-life experiences, the track reflects on memories, emotional baggage, and the inevitable act of letting go. At its core, it offers a message of quiet optimism: that pain, in hindsight, can reveal its own kind of beauty — especially once we find the strength to move forward.

A Journey Through Love, Longing, and Self-Discovery

As part of The 1st Album, “Pretty Messy” completes a narrative arc centered on love in its many forms — spanning self-discovery, heartbreak, infatuation, and even the longing for something that may never exist.

Over the past year, listeners have followed this journey through standout tracks including “Moon Or Stars,” “You,” “More & More,” “Never This Far Away Gone (All In),” “No Turning Back,” “Forbidden Love,” and “Dreamland,” all leading to the album’s poignant conclusion.

The Sound of Jūji

The 1st Album showcases Jūji’s distinctive indie pop–jazz sensibility, enriched by each member’s unique musical influences. The result is a cohesive body of work that feels both dreamy and sincere — capturing the emotional complexity and quiet vulnerability of the human experience.

Watch & Listen

Experience the beauty of imperfection in Jūji’s “Pretty Messy,” now available as an official music video on YouTube via Melodic Corner. The 1st Album is also available on all major streaming platforms.
