LALAMOVE has landed its first mark in East Malaysia through its expansion to Kuching, Sarawak in a move to revolutionise the local delivery landscape by providing fast, convenient and affordable on-demand delivery services in the city.
With the advanced technology in the Lalamove app, Sarawakians can expect to deliver goods from small personal items to bulky business deliveries with Lalamove as its app seamlessly connects users with a network of reliable drivers within a few clicks.
The platform also includes various user-friendly features such as real-time delivery tracking, multi-stop deliveries, transparent pricing as well as scheduled delivery up to 30 days in advance.
According to Lalamove Malaysia managing director Jane Teh, the expansion plan to Kuching aligns with the state government’s mission to nurture collaborative partnerships with strategic allies for the betterment of Sarawakians.
“With Kuching as our starting point in East Malaysia, we aim to enhance the efficiency of local delivery services, support local economic growth and provide job opportunities for Sarawakians to earn additional income,” said Teh in a statement.
“As Sarawak undergoes transformative evolution across diverse industries, we believe that introducing our service will tremendously benefit Sarawakians, especially now that on-demand delivery is available with just a few clicks.”
With Lalamove, Teh said users can deliver from one point in Kuching to another within a few hours, all with transparent, affordable rates. Businesses can also monitor the growth of their operations in real time.
“In today’s logistics landscape, marked by heightened e-commerce demands, Lalamove’s same-day logistics can support their increasing needs. This is just one of the many ways we hope to contribute to Sarawak’s growing economy,” she added.
Renowned for its business digitalisation efforts, Lalamove has also been empowering small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) by supporting business logistics and improving operational efficiency.
Small businesses in Kuching can anticipate operational growth upon partnering with Lalamove with its logistics solutions that can save costs and time.
As Sarawak continues to advance its status as a high-income state, and with its state government setting an economic growth target of RM282 bil by 2030, Lalamove’s commencement of operations is expected to bolster the economic growth of the culturally vibrant city.
Starting today (May 20), Sarawakians can download the Lalamove app, available on both iOS and Android platforms, to begin placing delivery orders.
To be a driver partner in Kuching, all Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above who drive a car, 4×4 pickup or van with a valid license can sign up in the Lalamove Driver app.
