KUALA LUMPUR - Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, is thrilled to further strengthen its commitment to empower local communities with faster on-demand delivery across Malaysia. This time, the delivery platform is expanding to Kuching, Sarawak.
The on-demand delivery platform is landing its first mark in East Malaysia on May 20th, 2024, set to revolutionise the Sarawak delivery landscape by providing fast, convenient and affordable on-demand delivery services in the city of Kuching.
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.
From May 20th, users can begin to place delivery orders with Car, 4x4 Pickup, and Van in Kuching. Meanwhile, Long Haul deliveries are also available for Sarawakians to deliver from Kuching to other places in Sarawak.
According to Jane Teh, Managing Director of Lalamove Malaysia, 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 Jane.
“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, 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.
As a brand, Lalamove is synonymous with on-demand delivery, evident in Peninsular Malaysia where using the word “Lalamove” as a verb for on-demand delivery has become a norm. 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 billion by 2030, Lalamove's commencement of operations is expected to bolster the economic growth of the culturally vibrant city.
More than just a delivery platform, Lalamove also offers a place for individuals to earn extra income as part-time driver partners. With the “Be Your Own Boss” vision, Sarawakians can now earn part-time income anytime they want without compromising their time with their full-time career, family and education.
Additionally, Lalamove provides various incentives, including exclusive benefits and free personal accident insurance coverage for its valued driver partners. As of 2024, we have seen significant growth of registered Lalamove driver partners across Peninsular Malaysia. This number is expected to rise in Kuching.
With Gawai Day approaching, Sarawakians are encouraged to take on this opportunity to sign up as a Lalamove driver partner and earn extra income just in time for the festivity.
Starting May 20th, 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, 4x4 Pickup or Van with a valid license are invited to sign up in the Lalamove Driver app.
