Minilorry is launching in Vietnam — Launching v3. Sign up for early access →
Most logistics platforms are built for the customer — the person booking. Minilorry is built for the lorry operator. Because that's where the real problem lives.
Hardware store SMEs in Vietnam typically run 2–8 lorries. Those lorries do the store's own deliveries in the morning, then sit idle for 4–6 hours every afternoon. That idle time is money being left on the road. Minilorry puts it to work — without taking a percentage of the earnings.
Lalamove and similar platforms charge 25–35% on every job. For a hardware store owner running 5 lorries, that translates to significant commissions per year — paid to a platform that doesn't own a single vehicle, employ a single driver, or bear any of the operational risk.
The alternative they were using? WhatsApp groups. Someone manually matching jobs to drivers at 2 AM. No GPS, no COD reconciliation, no digital paper trail. When a customer disputed a delivery, there was no evidence. When a driver pocketed COD, the owner found out weeks later.
59 ₫/mo gives a hardware store owner a full operations platform: driver shifts, live GPS, multi-stop deliveries, COD reconciliation, expense tracking, sticker compliance, and WhatsApp customer notifications. Everything they were managing on WhatsApp, now in one dashboard.
When a lorry has an idle slot, it appears in the marketplace. Customers book at a fair algorithmic price or post a job and let drivers bid. Minilorry charges a flat 25.000 ₫–135.000 ₫ booking fee. Zero percent commission. The driver and owner keep 100% of the job revenue.
Because vendors already own and operate their lorries, they structurally undercut Lalamove's rental-fleet model on any given job. The SaaS covers our costs. The marketplace grows the network. The moat deepens with every vendor who joins.
Before a lorry earns its first marketplace gig, it must pass photo verification of an official Minilorry sticker — on the vehicle and on the storefront. Customers can photograph the sticker and confirm it matches the registered vehicle before handing over their goods.
Random spot-checks (~3% of marketplace gigs) via the driver app keep the network clean without street-level audits. Lorries that fail a check are suspended until re-verified. Vendors who pass consistently earn a Compliance badge visible to every customer who searches.
Minilorry is part of a family of vertical SaaS products focused on Southeast Asian SME operators. Our sibling brand, Minilab, serves laboratory supply distributors with similar fleet + marketplace infrastructure.
Shared infrastructure, shared cost base. Both brands benefit from engineering investment that neither could justify alone. This is how we keep the subscription price viable — because the platform is already built.
Fleet owner? Put your idle lorries to work. Need a delivery? Book one — no middleman, flat fee, verified driver.
