Lalamove, a Hong Kong-based logistics on-demand service which was founded as EasyVan three years ago, is currently present in 100 cities in China and 6 cities across Southeast Asia. Lalamove is one of a series of logistics companies that take their cues from on-demand transport services like Uber. Unlike Uber, however, their customers are predominantly business users, who spend more and do so regularly. But essentially anyone can use the app to move goods — food, shopping and office supplies are popular — using its fleet of motorbikes and vans.
