The partnership will have Grab invest in Ninja Van and enable GrabExpress to offer intercity parcel delivery and other courier options

Logistics tech company Ninja Van announced a partnership with Grab Inc., seeking to empower small-medium sellers and social commerce communities through a logistics network expansion with intercity parcel delivery and other courier options.

With the partnership, Ninja Van’s logistics services will be integrated on the Grab app via GrabExpress, Grab’s on-demand parcel, and courier delivery service, sometime in the current quarter.

As part of the strategic partnership, Grab has invested in Ninja Van. Ninja Van will also work towards adopting GrabPay across its platform and collaborate to roll-out lending and insurance products offered by Grab Financial Group to its merchants and delivery partners.

It will also include more options like nationwide scheduled deliveries for GrabExpress.

GrabExpress is currently available in 150 cities across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

On the other hand, as a last-mile logistics company, Ninja Van said that it’s covering more than 450 cities across the region, connecting sellers and shoppers in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
