In celebration of Women’s Month, Lalamove is shining a spotlight on Filipina entrepreneurs who seamlessly juggle multiple roles while managing their businesses. Recognizing the challenges of running a venture, Lalamove provides essential logistical support, helping women-led enterprises streamline operations and expand their reach.
One such partnership is with Common Room, a collaborative space that houses over 300 local crafters and brands. Founded by women, Common Room supports local artisans by offering a platform for their handmade creations. With Lalamove’s on-demand delivery services, these entrepreneurs can efficiently fulfill orders, manage multiple drop-offs, and cater to urgent customer requests.
Enabling Creativity & Efficiency
Lalamove’s partnership with Common Room highlights how affordable and flexible delivery solutions empower business owners. Entrepreneurs like Lala De Leon of Simoy ng Haraya, a local perfumery, rely on Lalamove for fast, same-day deliveries, “Lalamove is my go-to for rush orders. Some buyers just need the items now and I’m happy to make it happen.”
For Cai Sio of Paper Chic Studio, an eco-friendly stationery brand, the convenience of Lalamove’s cashless payment system has been a game-changer, “My favorite feature is the Lalamove Wallet! I like the convenience of cashless transactions plus the discounts when I top-up.”
Meanwhile, Patricia Fernandez Lim, founder of Woven, a business that collaborates with local crafting communities, appreciates Lalamove’s affordability and efficiency. “We use Lalamove for our retail and wholesale orders, as well as supply deliveries — anything from raw materials to packaging. Apart from the cheaper rates and ease of use, my favorite is the wallet option since I can top up whenever and simply hand over any item that needs to be delivered. It’s one less thing I need to think about in running the business, and we get vouchers, too,” she said.
Fostering Growth Through Logistics
According to Common Room PH founders Maan Agsalud and Roma Agsunod, partnerships like the one with Lalamove are crucial for supporting Filipino artisans and small businesses, “Since most of our crafts are proudly local, we have always believed in creating spaces where local makers, artists, and entrepreneurs — especially women — can thrive. When we opened our doors in 2015, we recognized the challenge of limited physical spaces for the country’s growing arts and crafts community. This is why partnerships are so important to us, and we truly appreciate Lalamove for supporting our logistical needs. With their reliable delivery solutions, our makers can connect with more customers, ensuring that their passion and creativity reach even more homes. Together, we continue to empower local craftsmanship and entrepreneurship.”
Lalamove’s Managing Director Djon Nacario reaffirmed the company’s commitment to empowering women entrepreneurs, “At Lalamove, we are committed to empowering businesses of all sizes by providing reliable and efficient delivery solutions. This Women’s Month, we are proud to partner with Common Room to support local women crafters and women-led brands. Through this collaboration, we aim to celebrate their creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit by giving them the logistical support they need to grow and thrive. We believe that by enabling these businesses, we are also helping build a more inclusive and empowered community.”
As more Filipinas build their dream businesses, Lalamove continues to stand as a trusted partner, offering convenient, cost-effective delivery solutions that help entrepreneurs succeed.
