Lalamove: Moving Cities, Moving Cebu

After gaining strong presence in Metro Manila in the past two years and moving items 24/7 since its arrival in the Philippines, the biggest same-day delivery app in Southeast Asia is finally in Cebu.

Lalamove, a company which started in Hong Kong, recently launched its Cebu expansion last week.

The launch was participated by its partner-drivers and local businessmen, as Lalamove said, their business clients are on its “utmost priority.” 

“Lalamove aims to empower micro, small and medium enterprises, and even multinationals and established businesses, to reach more customers through on-demand delivery. As we all know, acquiring delivery fleets is costly and impractical,” read Lalamove’s statement released to the media.

Some small businesses wouldn’t have the need to deliver their goods all the time, causing delivery units to have an expensive and counterproductive standstill. For huge companies, they often experience shortage of delivery vehicles especially when demand peaks. A viable option is to get a logistics partner like Lalamove to minimize costs. 

“Food and online businesses are a few of the many that successfully reached an untapped market through Lalamove. With the wide array of vehicles and services built for businesses, Lalamove certainly empowers Filipino entrepreneurs and businesses to fulfill their passion,” it further said.

“The focus of Lalamove Southeast Asia is to enable growing cities where our technology and services can elevate the lives of drivers who can answer to the delivery needs of businesses. The Philippines’ Queen City of the South is ripe and booming with entrepreneurs. We are certain that Lalamove can drive a positive change and move Cebu forward,” said Dannah Majarocon, managing director of Lalamove Philippines

Moving Forward

Logistics was always a vital part of growth for the economy of, not just a city, but a whole nation. Now that the Lalamove app is available for Cebuano day-to-day users and businesses, their goal is to make deliveries in Cebu fast, simple, and affordable. - PR
