TheLorry was founded in the year 2014 by Nadhir Ashafiq and Goh Chee Hau, and it has emerged as one of the most popular logistic technology platforms in Southeast Asia. Originally conceived to enhance lorry rental services, it has now expanded to include house moving and cross-border moving services. TheLorry’s business model involves creating an easy-to-use order placement tool that is intuitive for any user on the platform. From rearranging furniture within houses or offices to organising enormous shipments of merchandise to different locations, TheLorry has perfectly marshalled itself to be the number one logistics company of choice.
A key factor that has helped TheLorry gain success is the door-to-door logistics solution. By having a flexible system that guarantees that there is a driver within 2 hours of putting in an order, companies can ensure that deliveries are made without any hitches. Moreover, their single interface has monitoring and organising features to help all businesses streamline, monitor, and control their supply chain process transparently and efficiently.
What makes TheLorry unique is its dedication to providing customised logistics solutions to international clients, including Fortune 500 companies. With its technological capabilities, the platform enables businesses to achieve cost reduction and operational efficiencies. It has an aggressive approach in sectors such as fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), long-haul trucking, and large-size e-commerce orders. With more than 10,000 trucks in a fleet under its management, TheLorry is capable of catering to any of Southeast Asia’s logistics demands. While they are growing, TheLorry is still managing to get well-known contracts by providing quality services and the use of cutting-edge solutions.
TheLorry enhances the experience of its customers not only in logistics but also in the empowerment of its driver partners. Understanding that the drivers are the most important persons in its business, TheLorry offers them access to financing, insurance and other assistance to enable them to minimise their expenses and maximise their income. It, therefore, takes the approach of developing an ecosystem that goes beyond the business objective of TheLorry, increasing its incomes while meeting the needs of the drivers. This orientation of respect and trust has also become part of the core values of TheLorry in its internal and external operation.
Right from its foundation, TheLorry has undergone rapid changes, raised capital and transformed itself to reach out to new geographical locations. The growth curve has been fabulous, especially between 2015, where the company was able to raise $150,000, and 2019 when it managed to get $5.85 million. TheLorry has proven to be an establishing player in the logistics industry with regards to its expansion to Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia.
