Lalamove, a third-party logistics solutions provider, has turned into a household name when it comes to reliable and hassle-free services—not just for customers, but also for local businesses on the move to win.

Fast-tracking deliveries for new clients 

With the rise of online delivery during the pandemic, more people have discovered and enjoyed the convenience, resource-efficiency, and accessibility that this service provides. Lalamove, a third-party logistics solutions provider, has turned into a household name when it comes to reliable and hassle-free services—not just for customers, but also for local businesses on the move to win. 

Thankfully, Lalamove’s corporate account option is there to help businesses sign up to enjoy several benefits like dedicated client support, bigger promos and monthly rebates, and a centralized e-wallet for multiple users.

To help business operations run smoothly, Lalamove also gives corporate accounts a proof of delivery per stop and an automatic monthly Statement of Accounts.

As for businesses on Shopify and WooCommerce, Lalamove’s API feature is another helpful tool that allows corporate clients to integrate their services with the on-demand delivery app’s, removing the hassle of manual inputs to place orders.

With Lalamove’s 24/7 excellent same-day and long-distance delivery services, businesses and their customers don’t need to worry about high costs and going out of their budget. With transparent pricing and no hidden costs, Lalamove offers affordable and competitive delivery rates that are as low as P48 for base fare and an additional P7 per kilometer for motorcycle deliveries. Payments can also be made directly through the app or via cash on delivery to Lalamove drivers, ensuring a fast and convenient delivery experience for everyone.

Dessert café Merci, which is located in Banilad, Cebu City, started availing of Lalamove’s services around a year ago. Since then, the decision has proved to be productive and instrumental to Merci’s growth. “Lalamove elevated our business operations by increasing customer satisfaction through offering delivery services in our tech-focused world,” says Chef Minji Kang, a Korean patissier and the owner of Merci.

Chef Minji notes that they have noticed significant advances in their business with the help of Lalamove, including easier door-to-door delivery transactions. “As far as our customers’ feedback on Lalamove goes, all our deliveries have been carried out well since we always choose the car option for delivering our products,” she says.

For deliveries through sedan, Lalamove sets a P102 base fare with an additional P18 charge per kilometer within Cebu. Lalamove delivery through sedan is the cheapest 4-wheel option, but clients can also choose other vehicle types like multi-purpose vehicles, pickup, and small and medium trucks for bigger deliveries.

Merci’s menu includes delectable and intricately-designed desserts such as cheesecakes, tiramisu, and different variations of strawberry shortcakes. With the nature of their products, it is essential that orders are always delivered on time—and allowing customers to book their order pickups through a third-party delivery service that operates as efficiently as Lalamove has been very helpful in ensuring this. Chef Minji lauds the quick responses they get from Lalamove partner drivers and the delivery service’s real-time tracking feature as some of its benefits, alongside the overall reliability of the Lalamove app.

The pickup service also offers cash on delivery, which Chef Minji names as the “best feature” that aligns with Merci’s operations alongside the benefit of letting customers purchase baked goods from the café at any time. “We also enjoy the Lalamove Wallet feature for our cashless transactions,” she also says. Aside from enabling less contact and ensuring health and safety, Lalamove’s e-wallet feature also saves time and offers convenience to everyone—from customers to businesses and partner drivers.

Leveling up convenience

In an interview with Lalamove, food and lifestyle app Booky’s head of operations Jelo Andres also shared how the on-demand and long-distance delivery platform played a big role in making their digital operating system possible. With changes to the food and beverage industry caused by the pandemic, Booky has turned from an aggregator of information about restaurants in the country into an actual platform for restaurants to receive orders and process customer payments online. According to Booky, most delivery transactions use the motorcycle option for fast and secured delivery.

Andres notes that the Booky app offers a third-party delivery service via Lalamove as an option for its partner restaurants, especially since some may only have limited in-house delivery drivers to fulfill online orders. This is done through Application Programming Interface or API.

With this API integration, customers have a direct option to choose Lalamove within Booky’s interface. This means they won’t need to open or switch between two separate apps just to place an order at a restaurant and book a third-party delivery service, because the API integration enables a direct integration with Lalamove’s systems to automatically book a delivery.

For businesses like Booky, there are many advantages offered by this setup with Lalamove. This includes seamless order placements from their backend system to Lalamove’s system, instant quotation of delivery fees, and easy self-registration to use the Lalamove API. 

Lalamove’s API system supports point-to-point and multi-stop delivery orders, allows customers to place orders immediately or schedule a pickup time up to 30 days in advance, and supports order cancellation. | Know more here

Lalamove’s API system also supports both point-to-point and multi-stop delivery orders, allows customers to place orders immediately or schedule a pickup time up to 30 days in advance, and supports order cancellation as well. It also delivers a hassle-free and automatic delivery status update through Webhook, instant matching of delivery driver, and a real-time tracking of driver location for every order. Like an in-app shortcut for faster and easier transactions, API integration allows apps like Booky to provide a one-stop shop experience that can attract customers for its convenience.

With its various features and reliable services, Lalamove makes it possible for businesses to reach customers anytime and anywhere—in the most convenient, efficient, and rewarding way for everyone.
