Lalamove Expands into Germany, Broadening European Operations with Berlin Hub

Lalamove, a leading on-demand delivery platform headquartered in Hong Kong, has officially launched its operations in Germany. This marks a significant milestone in the company's ongoing EMEA expansion. Starting with the Berlin metropolitan area, Lalamove will offer its proven on-demand delivery model to German businesses and consumers, providing a fast, simple, and affordable logistics option designed to solve the everyday operational challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Founded in Hong Kong in 2013, Lalamove continues to grow and operate in 17 markets across Asia, the Americas, and EMEA. Flexible Logistics Built for SME Operations For years, German SMEs have faced a logistics gap, lacking reliable, affordable, and trackable on-demand delivery without the burden of contracts. Lalamove solves this problem with its on-demand model, allowing businesses to flexibly scale their delivery capacity without the fixed costs of maintaining a dedicated fleet. Available 24/7, Lalamove supports both immediate on-demand bookings and pre-scheduled deliveries up to 30 days in advance, helping Berlin businesses plan regular deliveries while being prepared for last-minute requests. The service is already being used by a wide range of local businesses, including frozen pet food retailers, bicycle repair shops, universities and research institutions sending urgent documents, and catering companies, with some customers booking deliveries daily. One example is a Berlin-based flower shop that previously managed deliveries in-house. Due to the delicate nature of their products, delivery was a time-consuming process with limited capacity during peak seasons. By arranging delivery partners through the Lalamove app, especially during seasonal peaks like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, staff can now focus on in-store customers while providing a more stable delivery service. Furthermore, for each delivery, individual customers can track their delivery status with real-time GPS tracking, ensuring complete transparency. Live chat customer support is also available for delivery inquiries. For businesses managing multiple destinations in one route, up to 20 destinations can be added to a single order, allowing for the consolidation of delivery trips and an overall reduction in delivery time and costs. Driving Growth with Technology and an Expanding Delivery Partner Network Since entering the market, Lalamove has built a customer base across a wide range of industries throughout Berlin. Some businesses have already integrated the service into their daily operations, clearly demonstrating the city's high demand for flexible and reliable on-demand delivery. Supporting Lalamove's Berlin operations is an ever-expanding network of delivery partners. They benefit from a completely flexible working arrangement, allowing them to set their own schedules and choose the orders they want to fulfill. This model provides delivery partners with opportunities for supplemental income and greater personal autonomy, while ensuring that SMEs have continuous access to a reliable delivery network when they need it most. Paul Loo, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Lalamove, stated: "Germany has over 3.4 million SMEs that need logistics that can scale with the realities of their day-to-day operations. Our launch in Berlin is a crucial first step towards building our foundation in the German market. By offering flexible and affordable on-demand delivery options, we help businesses transport goods and documents quickly, manage peak periods more efficiently, and gain visibility over the entire journey from pickup to delivery. The number of delivery partners supporting our Berlin operations is already growing, and we are well-positioned to grow with local demand as we expand to more cities within Germany and, in the future, across the EMEA region." Building a Foundation for Broader EMEA Expansion Leveraging the momentum from its entry into the German market, Lalamove is actively working to expand its service coverage to new markets across Germany and the EMEA region. This strengthens its efforts to build a robust, EMEA-wide logistics network that supports SMEs and contributes to the overall regional economy.
