    Lalamove Delivers Lifestyle Services with LINE

    Hong Kong based on-demand delivery app Lalamove is partnering with the world’s leading mobile platform LINE to expand on its delivery services in Bangkok.  The LINE MAN app is aimed at bringing reliable on-demand services to consumers as well as providing convenience to their increasingly busy lifestyles.  LINE MAN is one of LINE’s first ventures to “be more than a chat app” and LINE has chosen Thailand to be the first market to launch LINE MAN.

    The LINE MAN smartphone platform offers three services: document and package delivery, food purchase and delivery, and convenient goods purchase and delivery.  The delivery of all 3 services is provided by Lalamove, and currently limited to within Bangkok for now with plans for expansion.  LINE has a large user base of over 33 million in Thailand.

    The announcement follows a global conference in March 2016 where LINE revealed a five-year plan to create a ‘smart portal’. The goal is to close the loop between businesses and LINE users and go beyond their original chat app strategy.

    Santit Jirawongkraisorn, Co-founder and Managing Director of Lalamove Thailand believes partnering with LINE is a natural progression. “This year, we have been marketing our online delivery services primarily to small and medium sized businesses. The addition of LINE MAN will bring Lalamove’s high quality services that many businesses have enjoyed to general consumers, which appeals to the Lalamove strategy and brand.”

    Meanwhile, the choice of Lalamove to deliver LINE MAN services demonstrates real confidence in the logistics app profile. According to Ariya Banomyong, Managing Director of LINE Thailand, “LINE MAN aims to offer best quality lifestyle services and help businesses leverage digital tools to connect with consumers, and Lalamove, as a leading on-demand delivery service provider in Thailand, made them a natural choice for LINE MAN”.

    LINE MAN will offer courier services through the Lalamove fleet of motorcycles, with cash payments.  Consumers will be able to order food via restaurant database app, Wongnai.

    LINE MAN is free to download at the Google Play store and Apple store.

    lalamove, the leading professional on-demand delivery service throughout Asia, has added new features to its mobile and web application to handle increased delivery demand in Bangkok during the upcoming holiday season.

    “The holiday season is a busy time for gift-giving and many companies struggle with ensuring that their gifts are delivered on time and handled with care – which are two areas that lalamove has extensive experience with” said Santit Jirawongkraisorn, Co-founder and managing Director of lalamove Thailand.

    “We have added more bikes, MPVs and pick-up trucks to ensure timely deliveries during the busy holiday season. We have also introduced the “route optimization” feature, which saves clients time in having to plan the routing.

    “With this feature, clients just have to type in the addresses where the gifts need to delivered and within minutes, the app with automatically schedule the quickest and shortest route. This is most practical especially when companies are looking at delivering corporate gifts or perishable goods like food hampers and festive cookies to their clients,” added Santit.

    Hiring freelance couriers or motorcycle taxis can be tiresome and sometimes unreliable, but thanks to lalamove, clients now have a delivery service which is fast, cost-effective, transparent and professional.

    lalamove allows personal users and businesses to quickly find a professional driver anytime of the day to help move their goods with a few clicks on their smartphone. By typing the vehicle type, location, destination, the weight of the physical goods, and other information and special instructions via the app, users will be notified within minutes if a driver is available.

    In addition to the driver verification feature, lalamove also has a driver rating system, a GPS tracking which allows full transparency on the route, on-demand booking and an insurance protection of up to Baht 2000 for each delivery, ensuring that delivery via lalamove is both easy and safe.  It is also the only delivery app offering 24/7 service and advance booking.

  • Lalamove Announces Expansion in 12 New Cities and USD$10M in New Funding

    Lalamove Announces Expansion in 12 New Cities and USD$10M in New Funding

    Following their one millionth delivery, Huolala Global Investment Limited shares news that they have secured an investment of USD$10 million led by MindWorks Ventures as well as AppWorks, Crystal Stream and individual investors.

    As the leading professional on-demand delivery service throughout Asia, Lalamove has officially announced their security of a USD$10 million dollars investment from MindWorks Venture, AppWorks, Crystal Stream and individuals investors.

    The company, which is known as “EasyVan” in Hong Kong, features iOS and Android apps that allow businesses to instantly transport goods across a city using their network of delivery vehicles. It is similar to Uber’s on-demand model, but for intra city deliveries — qualified individuals with a valid license and vehicle can sign up to be a driver. The app serves as an affordable platform for businesses to “share” delivery vehicles.

    “While very few startups thrive in both South East Asia and China markets, we are thrilled to show such growth in the past 18 months,” explains lalamove’s CEO and Founder, Shing Chow. “This continuous success validates our hypothesis — delivery as it exists in Asia isn’t optimal and bringing technology to this aging industry reduces drivers’ idle time, increases speed and efficiency while lowering costs.”

    This investment comes at a pivotal moment as the company nears the end of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year – lalamove, known for connecting users in need and drivers of vans, motorcycles, trucks and lorries to move items and documents fast and efficiently, has also announced their expansion to 12 additional cities throughout China. The company’s push to spread across Fujian, Anhui, Guangdong, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Shandong and Hubei is set to be fully operational within the next three months starting with Shanghai and Chongqing this week.

    Chow adds, “This new round of funding will help us extend our services to several new cities and provide businesses a faster and more efficient way to do delivery. We will also use the funding to help build best in class products to enhance our customers’ experience.”

    While lalamove is actively seeking out new strategic partners, the company is also preparing for the advanced stages of its expansion — adding 50 cities throughout Asia to the company’s delivery network by the end of 2016. To learn more about the app and its technology, download Lalamove on Android or iOS for free.

    “lalamove has been growing from strength to strength in Thailand,” said Santit Jirawongkraisorn, Co-founder and managing Director of lalamove Thailand. “We serve personal users and are also  focused on SMEs in Thailand  to meet with corporate courier and customer delivery demands,” he added.

    “Since the launch of our app this year, we have a network of 1,100 drivers serving clients in Bangkok, and our app has had 25,000 downloads.”
