What Are Delivery Service Apps?


Delivery service apps are mobile platforms that connect customers to riders or drivers who pick up and drop off:

  • Food

  • Parcels

  • Groceries

  • Medicine

  • Documents

Apps like Wolt and Foodpanda are popular names, but local competitors like Borobird and Get Delivery Myanmar are shaking things up, especially outside city centers.

Why Delivery Apps Matter in Myanmar


Since COVID-19, Myanmar has seen a massive shift to mobile-first behavior.

People now expect to:

  • Order daily essentials with a few taps

  • Get real-time delivery updates

  • Avoid traffic and long queues

However, not all apps deliver a good experience.
Users often report:

  • Poor tracking systems

  • Confusing pricing

  • Slow service

  • Lack of regional coverage
