The Rise of Empowered Lady Bossings: Women's League Improve Your Logistics Opportunities with Lalamove

 

Irene Rampola

Being a partner driver and a fleet owner has been made seemingly accessible for all by Lalamove, a leading on-demand delivery platform. This Women’s Month, meet the empowered “Lady Bossings” who empower other women in  Lalamove’s partner driver community. With its easy application process and fast approval, one can enjoy the luxury of working at their own pace while experiencing the perks of being a micro-entrepreneur.

Irene Rampola, a former employee of an automotive dealership company, decided to start her

fleet operations business after doing a thorough research and learning about Lalamove’s fleet

management program.

The ability to spend more time with her children is one of the benefits of starting a business for her. Her income from fleet management enabled her to provide for her family and begin the construction of their own home. They are able to do so with the assistance of the partner drivers under her supervision. Together, they are assisting one another in becoming "their own bosses" as micro-entrepreneurs.

After experiencing the numerous benefits of the fleet management program, she encourages other mothers to continue learning and to not be scared to try something new. "I'm not frightened to explore new things that were exclusively meant for males. I once drove my Lalamove truck. As well as get scheduled, so I can experience what it's like to be a partner driver. Lalamove empowers me to show people that gender will not define your success in life; it’s how you see things in life that matter,” Rampola added.

Partner driver twinning and winning in Lalamove

Joy Bell Jalandoni and Jovylyn Kabingue

Joy Bell Jalandoni and Jovylyn Kabingue, identical twins, earned a steady income with Lalamove as full-time motorbike partner drivers. Joy Bell was persuaded to join Lalamove and work as a microentrepreneur as a partner driver by her sister Jovylyn, who used to be an OFW in Qatar.

At the height of the pandemic.

The twins enjoy utilizing the platform since they can choose which orders to accept. And, like Rampola, they appreciate that Lalamove allows them to attend to their other responsibilities as moms to their children while still assisting their families financially. This is significant for Jovylyn, who is a single mom of an 11-year-old child.

Being a female partner driver has its benefits, but it also has its drawbacks. Joy Bell says she's lost count of the number of times she's faced discrimination for doing a job that most males are expected to do. Yet, with her chin up, she boldly informs skeptics, "Not all of them." Women should be confined to their homes. What matters is that you are able to assist your family and your husband. 

How Lalamove Empowers Businesses Owners like Kim Chiu Through Affordelivery

 

Cebuana actress Kim Chiu recently fulfilled her dream of owning a business when she launched House of Little Bunny, an online shop that sells fashionable and dainty tote bags and crossbody bags to complete one’s wardrobe, accommodating local consumers and even those abroad. 

As Kim makes strides in business, she has tapped 24/7 same day, on-demand delivery platform Lalamove as her partner in nationwide delivery for her bestselling handbags, catering to customers across Luzon and her hometown in Cebu and marking her Lala-lovely beginning as the platform’s newest ambassador.

Ease out on holiday preparations with the help of Lalamove
