(Hong Kong SAR, May 18 2026) – Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, has officially launched operations in Germany, marking a significant milestone in the company's continued EMEA expansion. Starting in the Berlin metropolitan area, Lalamove brings its proven on-demand delivery model to German businesses and consumers, providing a fast, simple, and affordable logistics alternative designed to address the everyday operational challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Founded in Hong Kong in 2013, Lalamove has grown into a leading on-demand delivery platform, with a presence in 17 markets across Asia, The Americas, and EMEA.
Flexible Logistics Built for the Way SMEs Operate
German SMEs have long faced fundamental logistics gaps in reliability, affordability, and the lack of trackable on-demand delivery without the burden of binding contracts. Lalamove directly addresses this with an on-demand model that enables businesses to scale delivery capacity flexibly without the fixed overhead of maintaining a dedicated fleet.
Available 24/7, Lalamove supports both instant, on-demand bookings and pre-scheduled deliveries up to 30 days in advance, helping Berlin businesses plan routine runs while staying ready for last-minute requests. The service is already used by a range of local businesses, from frozen pet food retailers to bike 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, a time-intensive process due to the delicate nature of their product that limited capacity during busy periods. By booking driver partners through the Lalamove app, the shop can now offer delivery more consistently while keeping staff focused on in-store customers, particularly during seasonal peaks such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Throughout each delivery, individual customers can also monitor progress with real-time GPS tracking for full transparency and customer support live chat to handle any delivery queries. For businesses managing multiple drop-offs in one route, up to 20 drop-off locations can be added within a single order in order to consolidate trips and reduce overall delivery time and costs.
Driving Growth Through Technology and a Growing Driver Partner Network
Since entering the market, Lalamove has established a growing customer base spanning a broad range of industries across Berlin. Some businesses are already integrating the service into their daily operations, a clear signal of the city's demand for flexible, reliable on-demand delivery.
Powering Lalamove's Berlin operations is a growing network of driver partners, all of whom benefit from fully flexible working arrangements that allow them to set their own schedules and choose the orders they wish to fulfil. This model provides driver partners with additional earning opportunities and greater personal autonomy, while ensuring SMEs have consistent access to a dependable delivery network when they need it most.
“Germany is home to more than 3.4 million SMEs, and they need logistics that can scale with the realities of day-to-day operations,” said Paul Loo, Chief Operating Officer of Lalamove. “Launching in Berlin is an important first step in building our German presence, bringing a flexible, affordable on-demand delivery option that helps businesses move goods and documents quickly, manage peak periods more efficiently, and maintain visibility from pick-up to drop-off. With a growing number of driver partners already supporting operations in Berlin, we are well-positioned to grow with local demand as we expand to more cities across Germany and, over time, the wider EMEA region.”
Laying the Foundation for Broader EMEA Expansion
Building on the momentum of Lalamove’s entry into the German market, the company is actively working to extend its service reach throughout Germany and into new EMEA markets, reinforcing its commitment to establishing a robust pan-EMEA logistics footprint that serves SMEs and contributes to the broader regional economy.
