How To Get Your Parcels And Products Shipped And Delivered With Transportify

Written by Marc Adrian

Transportify is an app-based logistics company that provides all sorts of on-demand freight and shipping solutions both for businesses and consumers. It has the same concept as Grab Express and Lalamove, but with solutions for larger scale logistical needs. 

It’s primarily a mobile app, although there is also a web version. Either one will allow you to book and manage on-demand deliveries of your goods, merchandise, inventory, and even cargo. 

However, one thing to note is that Transportify currently caters to the Metro Manila area only. 

How it’s different from Grab Express and Lalamove

Transportify is more business-centric compared to other similar services. Their goal is to provide a full-fledged courier service for businesses, much like how JT Express is to Lazada. 

For businesses who are looking for a local logistics partner, Transportify could offer a solution that cuts costs and boosts efficiency. 

Features of Transportify

Transportify offers several key features to ensure that your logistics needs are met. These are: 

1. Real-time tracking

You can track your delivery in real-time. This feature also shows the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of your delivery so that you know when to check in on your customers. 

2. Multiple booking schedules to choose from

There are various ways for you to book a courier based on your schedule. 

3. Multiple drop-offs and route optimization

You can add up to 15 destinations in a single booking to maximize your fee and time. Meanwhile, route optimization is a feature that your logistics partner (the rider or courier) can use to find the shortest route to your destinations, to save time. 

4. Live customer service

Get your queries and concerns answered in real-time with their customer service team any time of the day. 

5. Chat with driver

You can get in touch with your driver or logistics provider in real-time once they’ve accepted your request. 

Their different types of logistics solutions

It’s worth noting that Transportify has bigger fleets of vehicles that you can choose from for heavier and bigger delivery needs. You aren’t just limited to a motorbike or an SUV, there are actually vans and even trucks that you can choose from on the platform. 

Here are the types of vehicles you can book through this app:

Economy

Ideal for small deliveries such as food, groceries, small furniture, small appliances, electronics, perishable goods, etc. This is also the cheapest option on the platform because these vehicles are only suitable for the delivery of small items.

L300 or van

Made for transporting bigger cargo that economy vehicles can’t handle. The fleet of vehicles that belongs to this category is the following: Mitsubishi L300, Toyota Hiace, Hyundai H-100, and Nissan Urvan.

This is suitable for deliveries of bigger goods such as medium-sized furniture, boxes of perishable goods, multiple sacks of rice, and etc. 

Closed van

This courier option offers 4-wheeler or 6-wheeler closed van trucks more suitable for large deliveries like sofas, bed frames, big cabinets, or a huge batch of items you want to move at the same time. 

Pickup truck

Suitable for moving needs and transporting construction materials and agricultural products.

Reefer Truck

More suited for transporting chilled and frozen goods, vegetables, poultry, and the likes that require freezing temperatures to maintain their freshness. \

The temperature of Reefer Truck’s cargo box is set up to 1°C. You can request lower temperatures (0°C to -20°C) by choosing “Frozen” as an additional service.

Mini dump truck

This is made for hauling construction logistics needs such as the transport of sand, gravel, and other construction materials. 

6-wheeler forward truck

This type of cargo vehicle is longer than a closed van but a fraction of the size of a 10-wheeler. A bigger ulterior for bulk deliveries or transport of bigger items. 

Long pickup truck

A transport vehicle suitable for huge cargo, it can accommodate wholesale products, sacks of rice, bags of cement, textile, clothing, and footwear. 

10 wheeler wing van

The biggest transport vehicle in their fleet. This makes it easier to load and unload huge volumes of goods up to 15 tons. 

Additional services

Other than the actual transport service, you can also request the following services at an additional cost:

• Driver’s fee
• Fuel cost
• Loading of cargo at pick-up
• Unloading at every drop-off
• 24/7 customer service support for delivery fulfillment
• One extra helper

Cash on delivery (COD) and return service 

Transportify provides cash on delivery (COD) and returns services, but these programs are only offered to their Business Program clients or business partners. 

In the Philippines, cash is still king, thus Filipinos still prefer paying in cash even for their online shopping. If you run a business and you want to implement this type of payment method, you can partner with Transportify for their COD service. Their driver will collect the cash from your customers upon the delivery of your product, then they will deposit the cash to your account through the nearest remittance center. 

With the Transportify COD service, the driver will collect cash or check payment from each customer upon delivery of the order and deposit it to the nearest remittance center. The amount will then be transferred to the client’s account.

On the other hand, Transportify can also help you with your return orders through their Proof of Delivery (POD) program. Their driver will pick up the item from your customer, their business partners only need to provide the driver their delivery receipt prior to the pick-up.
