The rapid increase in imports/exports has also helped the development of logistics companies.

Giving up a job as a technical official for a television company in HCMC, Tran Tue Man decided to provide a delivery service.
Man is optimistic about the new business after six months of operation. The business he set up has been recruiting new workers as the business is scaling up.
“The fast delivery service market has become very competitive, but it is still a ‘blue ocean’ with great potential,” the founder of ‘Giao hang gia re’ (low-cost delivery) said.
“Many online shops have arisen,” he explained, adding that the number of orders his business receives has increased by 30-50 percent a month.
However, he said 30-50 percent is still a modest growth rate. “If my sale and marketing team expands, a 100-300 percent growth rate will be within reach,” he said.
| Many businesses, from startups to big express delivery firms, have jumped into the market of fast delivery services for online shops. |
Man said his company plans to launch an app of its own in September. To compete with other delivery services, his company also is providing package services, such as marketing for online shops.
Man’s startup project is one of several delivery service firms which have been booming in the last three years. Tiếp tục đọc “As online sales boom, fast-delivery services thrive”
