StorageTown, Cebu's premier state-of-the-art self-storage facility, is trusted by many to keep their business and personal items secure. To provide the best service, StorageTown has to ensure that the items entrusted to them are safe from customer pick-up at their facility.
That is why they partnered with Lalamove’s 3PL solutions via third-party logistics (3PL) solutions in Cebu to manage their on-demand delivery needs for big and bulk items.
We spoke with Chaz Cokaliong of StorageTown to learn about their story and how they are changing and challenging the growing business landscape in Cebu!
StorageTown is a joint project and business of the Cokaliong siblings, Chase, Chesna, Chanel, and Chaz. The siblings are no strangers to the world of entrepreneurship as they hail from one of the most prolific business families in Cebu who owns the Cokaliong Shipping Lines.
As third-generation Cebuano entrepreneurs, Chaz shared they always had the knack for spotting business opportunities that could help other Cebuano businesses grow, which is why they started StorageTown.
Now, StorageTown offers over 60 different storage sizes for the needs of any Cebuano who has to optimize their business operations or simply declutter.

THE CHALLENGES
Chaz said he and his siblings dreamt big, so they invested quite a lot to ensure their storage facility is top-notch. Acquiring in-house delivery vehicles, such as a 4-wheeler truck in Cebu, to help their customers move their big and bulky items was another move.
But in-house delivery can only do so much. As their business is growing, so is the demand for their service, so they sought for a delivery partner that can help them with their logistics needs anywhere via last mile delivery in Cebu.
It is important for StorageTown to extend the same high-quality service to their customers be it with their in-house delivery or their third-party logistics (3PL) provider — Lalamove for Business. Aside from a wide delivery coverage in Cebu, the logistics partner has to be cost-efficient, scalable, and trusted by Cebuano businesses. Luckily, they found all these in Lalamove.
THE SOLUTION
When the Cokaliong siblings saw the growing demand for their services, they knew they had to get professional support, especially with logistics. This is when they found Lalamove, Asia's leading on-demand truck delivery Cebu area. Lalamove's wide array of 4-wheel vehicle options, from delivery vans and light trucks for trucking service, was perfect for StorageTown's logistics needs.
Since these vehicles could be booked on-demand, they were easily scalable.
Another convincing factor for Chaz was the business-friendly delivery rates of Lalamove. With MPVs starting at ₱225 only, businesses can enjoy cost-effective same-day delivery at the palm of their hands. Even Cebu delivery truck rates are so affordable!
