Lucky 7 na ang Ninja Van! September marks Ninja Van Philippines’ 7th year of providing hassle-free deliveries and customized logistics solutions to Filipino businesses.

As the country eased out of the pandemic restrictions in 2022, MSMEs, particularly e-commerce businesses, faced new challenges including facing tough competition from physical stores again.

So to continue providing solutions to their pain points and challenges, Ninja Van amped its tech-enabled logistics services in 2022-2023 to serve and support more Filipino micro, small and medium e-commerce businesses.

Shoppers going back to the malls has been a post-pandemic challenge
for small online sellers and e-commerce businesses.

“The pandemic has accelerated the shift to digital, and while the reopening of physical marketplaces are seen to have some effect on online buying behavior, we have never seen better prospects for the e-commerce and logistics sectors,” said Ninja Van PH Country Head, Vin Perez

“With our todo hustle, no hassle commitment, we’re excited for the many opportunities and challenges that (still) lie ahead,” he added.

Here are some of Ninja Van PH milestones from the last year; at the heart of each is our commitment to serve our Filipino e-commerce businesses, as well as cater to the needs of big or growing enterprises.

New Ninja Van giant sorting hubs open

To mark its 6th anniversary last year, Ninja Van Philippines opened a 5,000-square-meter hub in Novaliches, Quezon City to help cater to delivery requirements in north Metro Manila as well as Central and Northern Luzon.
