With the accelerated growth of Internet retail in the country, courier firm Logistikus Express introduces a new, homegrown technology that aims to ease the shipping and delivery pains of Pinoy online sellers.
LISA – the Logistikus Interactive Shipping Assistant – is a shipment management system and organizer that digitalizes the entire shipping process, while providing the benefit of door-to-door delivery from NCR and some parts of Rizal, to anywhere in the Philippines.
Online selling made easy
COVID-19 has prompted many Filipinos to do online selling as a result of job loss and limited mobility. The Department of Trade and Industry projects the number of online merchants to breach the million mark in 2022 – a number that is projected to rise further as we ease into the new normal.
But while many have taken to the digital marketplace to flex their entrepreneurial muscle, online selling is not without its share of challenges.
The process of order-keeping, inventory management, booking, drop-off, shipping, and tracking were all done manually – until now.
The management team of Logistikus Express and creators of the Logistikus Interactive Shipping Assistant or L.I.S.A. technology: (l-r) Head of Technology Tony Santos, Business Unit Director Spencer Tagud, AVP for Business Development Michelle Lee-Ventura, and Head of Operations Cecil Torres.”
“With LISA, we are proud to bring an innovative new service that addresses the unique challenges of online selling”, says Logistikus Express Business Unit Director Spencer Ryss R. Tagud. “It was developed by our in-house IT team to resolve the logistical snags typically encountered by Pinoy online sellers. We analyzed the process and came up with a solution that’s simple, easy to use and gets the work done faster.”
LISA is an online shipment organizer that comes for free when one signs up for a Logistikus Express account on https://logistikus-express.com/lisa/ .It does away with messy paperwork and complicated spreadsheets by keeping everything in a neat, user-friendly account page with clickable buttons for recording all of your bookings, shipments, customers, products or SKUs, and even tracking your deliveries.
“Sellers used to spend a lot of hours making manual bookings, filling out airway bills, making trips to the drop-off center, calling for pickups, and tracking their deliveries. Regular recordkeeping is a chore. Traceability is also a problem if you lose your documents. With LISA, you can pull up your transaction history with just a click. You can also keep a database of your customers and products for repeat sales and shipments, or consolidate orders for multiple deliveries to be shipped out the next day or as scheduled without having to leave your home. In fact, you can make your bookings anywhere because everything is done online. That’s the beauty of the design.”
And the design comes with rewards, too.
Users earn points each time they book through the LISA. system and the points can be accumulated and converted to shipping discounts or vouchers for free shipping. This is also tied to a referral rewards system, whereby users also get points when their contacts start booking deliveries through LISA.
“Aside from the rewards system, our first 100 registrants will get Php100 worth of discount vouchers which can be used everytime they ship, so now is actually the best time to sign up and start booking with LISA and Logistikus Express,” shares Tagud.
LISA is on pilot run for NCR and some parts of Rizal for door-to-door pickups, but will eventually expand the service to Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, while delivering to any point in the country.
The pickup service is free, with no minimum volume for items to be shipped and with cash-on-delivery option.
