# What we do

## Background

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) grew from **-4.30%** in 2019-2020 to **12.94%** in 2021 based on the number of establishments.

The number of employment from **-2.36%** in 2019-2020 to **1.50%** in the last year.

This growth presents challenges and opportunities to the last leg of moving products from businesses to customers, a.k.a. as the last mile delivery.

Third-party logistics (3PL) exist and businesses can simply tap into their services as we've observed for most online businesses.

## What is Nextway?

**Nextway** is a last mile delivery solution catered towards **micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs)**. Nextway does not aim to be one of the 3PLs. It's the same set of problems.

The demographic of Nextway is tailored towards MSMEs that has their own fleet or outsource their fleet to the community — imagine a mom-and-pop shop with a Kuya that has a motorcycle, or a neighbor that do deliveries using his own truck.

Some businesses do well managing their own delivery system.

But often they do not have a centralized, organized system for streamlining customer orders, assigning them to drivers, monitoring the deliveries, or didn't even have a grasp of how technology can help ease their operations.

What sets apart Nextway is the approach taken to solve these problems and to further improve the business processes of MSMEs.
