Malaysian Logistics Service TheLorry Wants to Facilitate the Needs of Indonesian SMEs

Logistics problems are still an obstacle faced by many conventional businesses, SMEs and e-commerce services in Indonesia. The vast area in remote cities of Indonesia, makes logistics difficult to reach and requires large costs to make deliveries.

One service that tries to solve this problem is TheLorry. This logistics service from Malaysia has begun to develop its services throughout Indonesia.

To DailySocial, Business Development Executive TheLorry Indonesia Rendi Ferdiansyah revealed, TheLorry is a truck, van, and pick-up car rental service through an application that is fast and easy. 

“We provide services such as pick up car transportation to move houses and offices. TheLorry also welcomes individual and business customers to order the vehicle they need at a transparent and fixed price within minutes.”

Facilitating the needs of SMEs

Founded in 2014, TheLorry's logistics services this year began to focus on developing business in Indonesia. Overall, TheLorry platform has more than 6.000 driver-partners in Southeast Asia with various types of vehicles. TheLorry claims to be the fastest growing online logistics service in Southeast Asia.

With the presence of TheLorry in Indonesia, it is hoped that it can make a difference and change the lives of others through the services provided. Especially for SMEs, who currently still find it difficult to order trucks to transport their goods, and on the other hand, truck drivers find it difficult to reach customers. 

"We want to bridge the gap between customers and driver-partners by creating an automated system that makes the whole process more efficient and safe," said Rendi.

How TheLorry works

Users who want to rent TheLorry's logistics services can directly access TheLorry's application or website. Adjusting the best driver partner according to the nearest area, later transportation options can be ordered directly.

"For our monetization strategy, we apply profit sharing to driver partners," said Rendi.

Asked what distinguishes TheLorry from other similar logistics services, Rendi said that TheLorry is superior in terms of price and service. In addition, TheLorry service also allows delivery of goods throughout Indonesia. For example from Jakarta to Solo, Jakarta to Bali and other big cities. In addition, customers can also enter more than one pick-up or drop-off point.

"Our focus in 2018 is more on product development and increasing the number of service areas in big cities in Indonesia," concluded Rendi.
