Transportify expands service areas to help PH businesses grow

Each business yearns for growth and expansion in their companies but there are millions to consider. Even Henry Sy says that “There is no such thing as overnight success or easy money”. There are cost implications in various business aspects including manpower, land, machines, and more. Basically, to grow, you need additional capital investment. If you have the additional money, the next question is, where is the best place to invest it? It could be in hr, production & marketing. Is it also best to put your money in vehicles for your deliveries?

The down payments and monthly amortization of vehicles are crazy low right now and many of us think that yes, just buy a car and hire your own driver, right? But not all entrepreneurs realize the headache and expenses of vehicle maintenance. We can run down all the possible expenses but perhaps, that will be another article. So the question is, will you still put your capital to your own delivery vans or would you prefer to just give that part to the delivery experts and place your money for more stocks?

Transportify can do the delivery for you, but many businesses asks, can they pick up and deliver outside Metro Manila? YES!

Transportify understands your needs and is expanding to more service areas outside of Metro Manila such as San Pedro, Laguna, home to many industrial hubs, and in Angono, the Art Capital of the Philippines. In addition, Bacoor, Cavite and Marilao, Bulacan are also added in the list. 

This move is seen to help address a common problem for businesses so they can focus more on their real product. With this, businesses can allocate their resources to other business aspects. Add more machines, raw materials and manpower to produce more products to sell. Increase profits through investing on your business strength.

With roughly 5 months’ worth of operations here in Manila, Transportify is working closely with clients and driver-partners to expand the coverage area and cater to the special delivery needs of more businesses.

Noel Abelardo, Transportify’s Demand Head and Co-country Manager said, “Transportify believes in providing quality and superb customer experience. This expansion of our service areas is an answer to the increasing demand from our business clients. They regularly ask us to launch new service areas, and we are very much listening. We take the concerns of our customers seriously, and we are working hard to address those needs. ”

He explained that before they launch a service area, they ensure that they have enough well-trained drivers who could fulfill customers’ delivery needs in that location.

Transportify Gears Up for the Holiday Rush

We all know too well that the holiday season can be problematic amid higher demand for consumer products and the capability to distribute them on time.

Through the years we have seen time and time again how the horrendous traffic in Metro Manila compounds this problem. For many of holiday gift-givers and the would-be Santas, making their loved ones wait is simply not acceptable.

Fortunately, this can be addressed by a few logistics providers that can help move things around the metro.

Transportify now gives the market a cheaper and more efficient alternative for their on-demand logistics needs.  

A mobile and web application that connects customers with qualified independent contractors (driver partners), Transportify is the ideal logistics solution for delivering anything within Metro Manila and even surrounding areas. With a pool of over 1,500 driver-partners in less than 5 months of operations in the Philippines, Transportify has the network and capacity to address on-demand logistics not only during holidays but all year round.

For MPVs, customers only need to shell out P250 for the first 3 kilometers and P20 for every km thereafter. Need a bigger vehicle? No problem, they also have L300s that start at P600 for the first 3kms and P30 for every km thereafter.

Noel Abelardo, Head of Business Program, said: “We want to help move things faster and more efficiently in Metro Manila this holiday season. Transportify will help business customers and even individuals manage their logistics needs so they can focus on things that really matter to them. Our value proposition for on-demand logistics needs is better than what is available in the market."

With Transportify, delivery needs for the holiday are no longer worrisome. May it be for your corporate giveaways, event and promotional materials, office raffle prices from huge appliances to small tokens for your employees, or just simply gifts for your loved one.

New light for SMEs in the Philippines: Transportify to lower logistics costs

Startup logistics provider Transportify is now in the Philippines, giving businesses and even individual consumers a cheaper and more efficient alternative for their on-demand logistics needs saving them valuable amount of resources spent on capital and operational expenditures.

Known as Deliveree in Thailand and Indonesia, Transportify was launched in the Philippine market last July.  It now has 45 people manning its Manila office.  So far, it has more than 2,000 registered accounts in just a few weeks.

With barely three months’ worth of operations in the country, Transportify already has a pool of over 900 driver-partners in Metro Manila. Over time, it hopes to expand its fleet for ground logistics. At present, its fleet includes Sedans, Hatchbacks, MPVs for Economy, and L300s but this will be expanded in the coming months to include more vehicle options such as motorcycles, pickup trucks, and closed vans.

“Through Transportify, we hope to address a pain point that the Philippines shares with Indonesia and Thailand — high logistics costs. From our studies, we found out that logistics account for about 18 percent of operating costs of companies here. With Transportify, we hope to provide a more cost-effective alternative to businesses,” said Tom Kim, International CEO of Deliveree.

Helping small and medium enterprises (SMEs) lower their operating costs in the area of logistics is Transportify’s main objective. As a value proposition, Transportify customers only need to pay for the distance covered by the delivery and extra services required.  

Their rates are as follows:

“About 99 percent of businesses in the Philippines are SMEs and this is where Transportify’s value comes in.  SMEs have very low margins, and by helping lower the logistics costs, we help these small businesses thrive in a very competitive environment,” added Kim.

Unlike traditional couriers, Transportify’s mobile and web app lets you book a driver for same-day delivery requirements. It also accepts pre-scheduled bookings up to two weeks in advance. It also has a live tracking feature so customers can pinpoint the precise location of their driver and the estimated time of arrival at any stage during the delivery.

The company, just like other transportation apps present in the market today, does not own vehicles or physical assets. However, it is an app that connects customers to drivers. It charges drivers a commission of 15% only.

“Since we don’t have to spend for maintenance of these vehicles and salaries of the drivers, we have relatively lower overhead costs. This allows us to provide our customers a service that is cost-efficient and competitive compared to what is already available in the market,” said Kim.

  

Transportify Philippines is powered by Deliveree which was founded in 2014 by Inspire Ventures and Ardent Capital - both well-established venture builders in Southeast Asia. Backed with $2-million seed funding and from its principal shareholders, Transportify continues to expand the business by continuously providing lower logistics costs to SMEsand significantly growing itsarea of service coveragein its current markets.
