E. Organizational Chart

F. Market Summary

a. Target Market

LBC has certainly and always been such an agency with a focus on the

interests of its clients. Founded in 1950 as the first Filipino courier company in the

world, it grew rapidly by catering to the demand and need of people to carry

documentation and freight throughout our vast archipelago. Including the first 24

hour door-to-door distribution service and the Balikbayan Package for our OFWs

operating abroad, it has developed services and products that remain important

for consumers today.

As part of their initiative, LBC Express Inc.'s latest tagline "We like to

move it" aims to demonstrate the firm's dedication to moving individuals,

companies and neighborhoods across "open space" in which all three

components reconnect and build positive partnerships. Part of the initiative


10
is a moving segment that takes the LBC Manifesto to life: "We know at LBC that

we transfer not just parcels, money or products." This demonstrates how, amid

the gap between Filipinos, the firm, through its facilities, services and products

brings us all together. That being said, LBC Express targets upper, middle, lower

class, OFWs, online business owners, and Filipino customers because they are

more likely to use the services provided by LBC Express. They have enough

revenue to cover the bills and the courier services are usually ordered.
• Class A, B and C (upper, middle and lower class)

The LBC supply can be purchased and used by the Upper

Class, Middle Class and Lower Middle Class. There are

competitive prices for LBC, but they provide reliable and

quality service. Upper class men are the individuals who, due

to their high income, have the freedom to compensate at any

rate so they are after the standard of the product and service,

not the price. The middle class men has an immense

demographic that is great for pursuing LBC and has ample

money to pay for LBC programs as well. The money of the

lower middle class must be invested carefully. As per the

NSCB, SW High Income Segments are households / families

paying an average of P200,000 a month or P2.4 million a year.

Thus, they can be described as the population's "rich" section.

They are very few, numbering just 0.1 percent of the


11
Philippines' overall households. On the other hand, the middle

income class is said to earn an average of P36,934 per month,

while an average of P9,061 per month is earned by the low

income segment.
• Filipino and Local Jobs Abroad

OFWs have a wide business presence where they can use LBC

Express to deliver their income by money transfers and

remittances. They still seek to provide a cheap way of shipping

their balikbayan packages and a discreet way of sending

remittances or parcels from the Philippines to their relatives.

12
• Online Business Owners

Company owners can be male or female, as a growing array of


online companies can be a strong target group for LBC Express
and they try to sell their products to their consumers anywhere in
the Philippines quickly.

b. Market Trends/Industry Trends


Clients' preferences depend on many factors such as the
government, international transactions, supply and demand,
speculation, and expectation. These factors serve as a basis on
how a company should make a decision in terms of creating a
new product, rebranding, making an expansion, or closing a
business segment of the company.

LBC has gone through several changes to adapt to the trends and
appeal to their clients. These changes of the company which will
be discussed below will show how the clients’ preference affects
the company’s overall decision.

The company was established because of the people’s need to


move documents across the archipelago. The changes in the
company started in 2013 in which LBC launched a rebranding
campaign to tap into the emotional aspect of their clients. They
changed their logo and tagline from being the "Hari ng padala” to
"We like to move it”. It is made to be in line with its mission which
is to give its customers better services. Also, to bring the Filipinos
together, despite the distance between them. Most of the Filipinos
during that time are going abroad, this is one of the reasons why
the company made several advertisements showing the
sentimental value of the customers who avail their services.

13
As the fourth industrial revolution takes place, digitalization has set to
revolutionize the entire industry. With this, the LBC saw this as another
opportunity to define themself across all of its business segments. As
aforementioned, the company is customer-oriented which only means that they
are taking into consideration the evolving consumer behavior and preferences. As
a result, in 2019 the company has promised that they will automate all key
processes and upgrade core logistics applications. In line with this, they launched
LBC connect which is an application that is set to reshape the customer’s
experience through technology. Also, they expanded their digital Customer Care
Management as a response to the customer’s need for service that is personal,
prompt, humane, and always available in multiple platforms and touchpoints. The
company is doing its best to understand their customer better by looking closely
at their customer’s satisfaction to address the customer’s demand and
expectation.

Currently, the company made some changes in terms of their services


because of the impact of COVID-19. Since there are many restrictions because of
the pandemic, most of the businesses who moved in online and people prefer to
order online (e.g. Shopee, Lazada, Zalora, and etc.) instead of going outside. As
a result, the demand for the company increases which leads to LBC creating an
easy-to-use touchpoint to social sellers and businesses and a Bazaar for the
social sellers.

c. Market Growth
Nowadays, courier and shipping services have become more and more
prevalent in the country because of its convenience and usefulness for individuals
and businesses that are engaged in online selling, since it involves numerous
parcel shipping solutions. Moreover, with the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, the
said industry is now significantly growing.

Although there are a lot of delivery, courier, and shipping services in the
Philippines, LBC Express is known to be the country’s leading courier as well as
payments, money transfer and logistics. It is an organization that

14
has always been sensitive to the needs of its customers, making it one of the
most trusted brands in the Philippines. In 2017, LBC Express’ revenue rose to
15% from P8.7 billion in 2016 to 10 billion in 2017 and also registered a growth in
net income after tax of 985 million, which is a 7% increase in the previous
revenue of 920 million. According to the chief financial officer of LBC Express, in
addition to the rise in consumer spending and the growth in e-commerce, the rise
in the revenue of the company is primarily due to an increase in revenues from air
and courier service, led by improved sea and air freight costs. Subsequently, LBC
secured $50 million investment from a Singapore-based private equity group
which provides them capital to invest in the growth of its network. After a year,
LBC almost doubled its earnings, hitting 12.51 billion in 2018 which is a 25%
increase from last year’s revenue. The acquisition of one domestic and nine
international entities engaged in money remittance and online regular logistics of
the company contributed significantly to the increase of their revenues with a total
amount of P889.79 million net contribution or 36% of the total increase.
Furthermore, domestic operations also contributed to its overall revenue
amounting to P123.67 million due to the opening of 76 new retail branches and
the introduction of new services such as Retail Cash-on-delivery and Cash-on-
pickup (COD/COP) services. However, in 2019 LBC Express’ net income drops
by 64.7 to P475.82 million from P1.349 billion in the previous year. The decrease
in revenue of the company was due to the loss of derivatives attributable to the
convertible instrument amounting to P590.94 million, lower foreign exchange gain
of P127.50 million, and the adoption of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
(PFRS) 16.

By 2020, LBC Express earned P187.71 million in the first quarter of the year, an
increase of 2.378 percent from the reported revenue in the same period last year.
This increase was due to a gain of derivatives attributable to the convertible
instrument amounting to P0.16 million and the provision of lower income taxes.
Also, service revenues increased by 2 percent amounting to P3.8 billion
compared to P3.717 billion from the first

15
quarter of last year. Amidst the onslaught of COVID- 19 crisis, LBC continues to
empower both consumers and businesses as the country moves to the new
normal. LBC offers a list of digital services that will not only enable online sellers
and businesses to process their transactions online but will also help them
survive and prosper during this pandemic. However, considering the
unanticipated effects of the COVID-19 crisis, the company’s financial statements
cannot yet be determined since the said crisis could have a material impact on
the company’s 2020 financial results and for the succeeding periods.

II. External Analysis

A. STEP Analysis

Social

LBC is an organization that has rotated itself and set up the idea of "The Joy of
Moving." But its prosperity has provoked the organization to show duty for social
obligation, utilizing the key venture of their center quality, individuals, assets and
organization to truly have any kind of effect.
1. Carry OFWs closer to their families back home

One of the objective business sectors of LBC is to carry OFWs closer to their
families back home. OFWs have become our present day legends, and we comprehend
the purposes for each padala (settlement). The LBC Express wants to respect that by
ensuring they remain associated, any place they are. Additionally, those individuals in
the metropolitan region are sending cash to their friends and family in the provincial
zone. Also, those individuals who have a business, they let their clients get the package
in LBC Express.
2. Understanding client needs

However good your product or service is, the straightforward truth is that nobody
will make a transaction if they don't want it or believe they don't need it. Also, you won't
convince anybody that they need or need to execute what you're offering except if you
plainly comprehend what it is your clients truly need. Knowing and understanding client
needs is at the focal point of each fruitful business, regardless of whether it sells
legitimately to people or different organizations. LBC tackled this information, they
utilized it to convince potential and existing clients that purchasing from them is in their
best interests. Desires are the foreseen conditions for the customers to buy. They
incorporate all means of the client venture, all associations with the organization, just as
the impacts of the buy and experience, the viable advantages, and the feelings. Clients
rate an organization's exhibition by its

17
capacity to live up to their desires. What the client needs is frequently to a
greater degree a ground-breaking helper than what they need. This turns out to
be clear when you tune in to your client and ask them to let you know for what
reason they need what they need. Normally they want to get what they need and
basically need you to give them how they can get it.
3. Number of inhabitants in the Philippines

The number of inhabitants in the Philippines has been consistently developing for
a long time. It is the thirteenth most populated nation on the planet, among
Mexico and Ethiopia, and developed at a pace of 1.72% somewhere in the range
of 2010 and 2015. The 2019 populace is 108.11 million, as per the most recent
UN gauges. The developing populace isn't influencing in a terrible way the
business in light of the fact that as should be obvious the 13 assessed OFWs
around the world is 10.2 million Filipino's. Many have moved to another country
incidentally to look for some kind of employment yet others have settled abroad
forever, that is the reason their friends and family who left in the Philippines are
sending them a balikbayan boxes and it advantage the LBC Express.
4. Record handling administrations

LBC is currently offering record handling administrations that permit individual


Filipinos in the Center East to validate or restore their necessary government-
related records, additionally in different nations. There are reports and papers
that should be confirmed for different use particularly when you are abroad.
Being an OFW, it may very well be an issue to measure these particularly when
the OFW don't have a lot of time, they have to return to the Philippines so as to
apply for these confirmed records. Presently, the LBC is an inviting improvement
since this makes it simpler for OFWs to apply for confirmed papers while they are
outside the Philippines.

18
Technological

The organization has any kind of effect by ensuring that the trust their clients gives them
is reimbursed with unwavering quality, straightforwardness, and genuineness. It's a
notoriety that they've endeavored to build up since the 50s; and one that they endeavor
to satisfy by constantly advancing. Today, they are On the Move indeed—this time
towards computerized change. Your necessities are changing... and they're keeping up
the movement to improve with their customers.
1. Robotization

For their clients, evolving purchaser conduct and inclinations are driving the way LBC
needs to move toward business. Their organization will present answers for a market
that is associated every minute of every day, time-starved, with requests secured on
innovation's capacity to react at the speed of need. Because of client interest, LBC
perceives that they can not keep maintaining their business with the current cycles and
advancements. Robotization of all key cycles is expected to endure and to be pertinent
in the business. They are overhauling their organization's center coordination's
applications to robotize every single manual cycle. Tasks will fundamentally change once
completely actualized, and we all look forward to this coming to fruition. Their
organization will likewise be acquainting extra items and administrations with clients, all
things considered.

For their partners, boundaries among providers, specialist co-ops and customers are
developing rapidly, because of fast moves in innovative advances. This involves a crucial
reevaluation about how LBC smoothest out interior cycles, and will organize effectively.
2. Digital Transformation

Accomplishing their vision is secured on our capacity to carefully change the manner in
which they do things, the Way They Move. In any case, Digital Transformation isn't just
barely about joining the innovative apparatuses expected to change the association; it is
a gigantic endeavor

19
given the size of the organization, and understanding that changes will just start
once outlooks of the human components are additionally moved. This "Change
Management” for a 70-year old organization, a legacy brand, will incorporate
more than 8,000 partners over the globe, and an immense organization of
physical stores, centers, and stockrooms. We're up for the assignment, we're
prepared for the test.

LBC's Digital Transformation will quicken their own business exercises, cycles
and abilities that will, thus, sway our partners in vital and significant manners.
They tackle Digital Transformation to profoundly improve interior execution,
accomplice connections, and grow reach across various business sections. LBC
has spread DTrelated correspondences, fell to all workers, undertaking wide, to
urge ALL to join the fleeting trend and connect more partners to purchase into the
development.

LBC's venture wide Digital Transformation will be upheld by a full-pile of IT


activities covering everything from foundation to customer confronting
innovations. The size of this endeavor is extraordinary. Furthermore, until this
point, key overhauls and functionalities are as of now being presented in the very
system of LBC's activities. The extent of the LBC IT framework traverses the
gathering's auxiliaries and subsidiaries in nations across AsiaPacific, USA,
Canada, the Middle East, Europe and Australia, covering the two its Corporate
and Retail organizations, likewise for both Logistics and Money portions. The
change's essential goal, in the innovative angle, is to supplant and upgrade
existing frameworks, a basic usefulness given

LBC's worldwide reach, broadness, and huge extent of administrations. This


improved framework will upgrade the primary load "Trade focus" in Manila, and
permit joining into the set up "Put-To-Light" (PTL) arranging framework, which
was likewise an ongoing advancement for the organization.

20
Economic

The company is involved in the provision of the logistics services which operates
through the segments of logistics and money. The logistics segment provides services to
retail and corporate customers. On the other hand, the money segment consists of
domestic and international money transfer services. These segments are affected by the
following factors:
1. Supply and Demand

The two great economic factors that affect the business model work are the
demand and supply. Demand shows the willingness and capability of a consumer in
purchasing what a business offers. In contrast, supply manifests how the company
makes the services or product available to the consumer. Through supply and demand,
LBC would be able to determine the adjustment in terms of their rates. Nowadays, the
demand for couriers is high since most of the people cannot go outside because of the
quarantine which makes them purchase things online. With this, the company will
consider this as a factor whether to raise their fares or not.
2. Job Opportunity

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the unemployment rate in


the Philippines in March 2019 is 5.2 lower than 5.3 a year ago. The number of
unemployed decreased by 118 thousand to 2.20 million and the number of employed fell
by 387 thousand to 41.37 million. In the meantime, the rate of labor force participation
dropped to 60.2 from 62.2 percent. Of all the employed persons, the workers in the
service sector made up a total of 58.1 percent which is followed by 22.1 percent by the
agriculture sector and 19.7 percent by the industry. The Philippines unemployment rate
had an average of 9.34 percent from 1994 until 2019 it reached an all-time high of 13.90
percent in the first quarter of 2000.

The aforementioned made the LBC Express Inc believe that in order to build an
easy skilled force, the employee itself must want it. As they say

21
"Workers are a necessity, not a luxury. The company becomes more global as
the markets shift, making productivity and worker efficiency more important. With
this, they continue to train their employees in order to respond to the customers'
needs. Also, it will make the company competitive.
3. COVID Response

COVID-19 created a big impact in the economic side of the Philippines which
made it reach its critical point. Due to the declaration of an Enhanced Community
Quarantine, some businesses are facing an output slowdown which leads to
closing of some establishments. As a result, some employees lost their jobs
because of the situation.

LBC continues to be the leading market leader in courier, cargo and remittance
despite the tough situation. The company made a tremendous effort to provide
business continuity at the same time protecting its employees and servicing its
customers. The action plan by giving LBC front-liners personal protective
equipment, and providing lodging facilities to heightened precautionary measures
for its customers and employees. In addition, the company supports all of its
employees’ needs by giving them home quarantine leaves and calamity leaves
for the affected employees due to the temporary closure of hubs and branches.
Also, they made webinars to accommodate their employees who are suffering
from depression, anxiety, and unhealthy eating.
Political

LBC is the foremost provider of express courier service that offers a convenient,
reliable, and cost-effective alternative to retail consumer, government owned
companies, and operated postal service. Also, it automates and almugates the
company both in local and foreign markets.
1. Implementation of RA 11469

The impact of COVID-19 led to many changes and because of this,

22
the government made an action about it by enacting RA 11469. Republic Act No.
11469 also called Bayanihan to Heal as One Act which ensures the availability of
credit to the public sectors of the economy especially in the countryside through
measures such as but not limited to lowering the effective lending rate of interest
and reserve requirements of lending institutions. As a result, the company has
extended its loan moratorium, processed early release of 13th month pay to all
employees, and released a medicine allowance.

B. Porter’s Five Forces Threat of New Entrants

New entrants in Delivery bring advancement, better approaches for getting things
done and squeezed LBC Express through lower estimating systems, diminishing
expenses, and giving new offers to the clients. Quick Transportation Company
needs to deal with every one of these difficulties and manufacture viable
hindrances to defend its serious edge.
How LBC Express can handle the Threats of New Entrants:

• By enhancing new items and administrations. New items carry new clients to
the overlay as well as give old clients motivation to remain in patronizing LBC
Express administrations.
• By building economies of scale with the goal that it can bring down the fixed
expense per unit.
• Building limits and burning through cash on innovative work. New participants
are less inclined to enter a unique industry where the set up players, for
example, LBC Express continue characterizing the principles routinely. It
fundamentally diminishes the window of remarkable benefits for the new firms in
this way dishearten new parts in the business.

23
Threat of Substitutes

As online businesses grew, so did the shipping industries. Customers and buyers
tend to choose the most reliable and fastest shipping with low freight charges to deliver
their orders. When this pandemic happened, logistics suddenly popped out from
everywhere. Not only with shipping and logistics matters but also with
sending/transferring of money. Customers will choose the one with the lowest charge
when sending money. In this present world people won't compromise for anything. If they
are not satisfied by the service they will jump to other substitutes who can give better
rates and services.
Bargaining Power of Customers

Buyers are often demanding a lot. They want to buy the best offerings available
by paying the minimum price possible. This put focus on LBC Express gainfulness over
the long haul. The more modest and all the more remarkable the client base is of LBC
Express, the higher the dealing intensity of the clients and higher their capacity to look
for expanding limits and offers.
How LBC Express can handle the Bargaining Power of Buyers

• By building an enormous base of clients. This will be useful in two different


ways. It will diminish the bartering intensity of the purchasers in addition to it will give an
occasion to the firm to smooth out its deals and creation measure.
• By rapidly innovating new services. Customers often seek discounts and
offerings on established products so if LBC Express keeps on coming up with new
services then it can limit the bargaining power of buyers.
• New items will likewise decrease the surrender of existing clients of LBC
Express to its rivals.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers

Almost all the organizations in their business purchase their crude material
from various providers. Providers in prevailing positions can diminish the edges
LBC Express can win in the market. Amazing providers in the Services area
utilize
24
their arranging capacity to separate more exorbitant costs from the organizations in the
Delivery field. The general effect of higher provider haggling power is that it brings down
the general gainfulness of delivery.
How LBC Express can handle Bargaining Power of the Suppliers

• By building a productive flexible chain with different providers.


• By exploring different avenues regarding item plans utilizing various materials so that
on the off chance that the costs go up of one crude material, at that point organization
can move to another.
• Developing committed providers whose business relies on the firm. One of the
exercises LBC Express can gain from their rivals is the means by which these
organizations grew outsider makers whose business exclusively relies upon them in this
manner making a situation where these outsider producers have altogether less
bartering power.
Competitive Rivalry

When looking at logistics and money transfer services here in the Philippines, you can
see that it is quite high because of the many competitors. LBC is well known and has a
reputation when it comes to logistics. It has competitive advantage because it exists
longer than its competitors. Right now, it is a corporation and has branches not only here
in the Philippines but also in other parts of the world. It is also one of the leading logistics
here in the Philippines along with other logistics.

payments to the company for the dividends and the loans.

company in terms of the building a network to the LBC outside the Philippines which will make it
more global. This will also increase their sales of service because the OFWs abroad will be able to
access the services of the LBC in our country much easier.
• The accounts and other payables decreased by 68% since the subscription payable was settled in
2019.
• The convertible instruments such as the derivative liability and bonds payable increased because

LIQUIDITY RATIO

^ Current Ratio

The current ratio is a helpful way to evaluate the company’s liquidity. For every 1 peso of
debt for 2019 it has 137.96 of current assets to pay compared with 2018 where it has 10.26
pesos of assets to pay 1 peso of debt. That means the company has enough or normal ratio
since it is a financial company. It is expected that it has a high ratio since they need
immediate cash to conduct their business.
^ Quick Ratio

The quick ratio is an indicator of a company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations with
its most liquid assets. This means that Luzon Brokerage Companyhas the ability to pay its
short term obligations easily as for every one peso of debt for 2019 it has 137.12 as
compared with 2018 which is only 1.11 per peso of debt.
FINANCIAL LEVERAGE RATIO

^ Debt Ratio/Acid test Ratio

The debt ratio is a financial ratio that measures the extent of a company's leverage. The
company needs improvement because they have 0.49 for 2018 and
0.57 for 2019. Many investors look for a company to have a debt ratio between 0.3 and 0.6.
From a pure risk perspective, debt ratios of 0.4 or lower are considered better, while a debt
ratio of 0.6 or higher makes it more difficult to borrow money This would also mean that their
creditors have a higher percentage of control over

37
the resources (assets) of LBC as compared with owners. It has a higher risk level in
case something bad would happen to the company resulting in a sudden liquidation of
the company.
^ Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Compares a company's total liabilities to its shareholder equity and can be used to
evaluate how much leverage a company is using. Higher leverage ratios tend to indicate
a company or stock with higher risk to shareholders. Having a 1.34 compared to 0.11
last 2018, it indicates that the company is getting more of its financing by borrowing
money, which subjects the company to potential risk because the debt levels are too
high. This would further give that they are taking higher risk by using creditors money to
gain more profit.
^ Asset to Equity Ratio

The asset to equity ratio reveals the proportion of an entity's assets that has been
funded by shareholders. The inverse of this ratio shows the proportion of assets that
have been funded with debt. LBC’s asset to equity ratio remains at 2.34 which is often
associated with high risk compared to last year's asset to equity ratio which is 1.97; it
means that a company has been aggressive in financing its growth with debt. If a lot of
debt is used to finance growth, a company could potentially generate more earnings
than it would have without that financing.

PROFITABILITY RATIO - In this ratio, the researchers used the consolidated financial
statement of the LBC Express Inc.
^ Gross Profit Margin

The gross profit margin reflects how good the company is doing in terms of profitability.
Over the past two years, Luzon Brokerage Company's gross profit margin indicates that
it is successful in producing profit over and above its costs. Its gross profit margin had
increased by 0.24 in 2019 from 2018.
^ Net Profit Margin

A higher profit margin would always be desirable since it indicates that it

38
generates more profits from its sales. However, in Luzon Brokerage Company’s case, it
shows that its profit margin in 2018 declined in 2019 by 7%.This was because of the
higher cost of expenses and losses that was incurred in 2019 as compared with 2018.
^ Return on Assets

Return on assets is a ratio that measures the company’s earnings before interest and
taxes. Over the past three years, Luzon Brokerage Company’s return on total assets
continuously declined from 2018 to 2019. It indicates that the company was not able to
maximize its use of assets in securing more profits.
^ Return on Equity

The return on common stock equity tells how well the company uses the money invested
in it. Generally, a high return on common stock equity indicates that the company
spends wisely and is likely profitable. However, Luzon Brokerage Company’s low return
on common stock equity indicates the opposite. It indicates that the company could not
maximize its use of assets in securing more profits from 2018 to 2019.
MARKET VALUE RATIO

^ Book Value per Share Ratio

The book value per share ratio calculates the per-share value of a company based on
the equity available to shareholders. Luzon Brokerage Company’s BVPS is lower than
its previous value per share then there's a possibility that the company's assets will be
sold off and the investor will still make a profit. Further, it could be glean that its value
went down because of the loss it incurred in 2019.
^ Dividend Yield Ratio

The dividend yield is a financial ratio that tells you the percentage of a company's share
price that it pays out in dividends each year. LBC’S dividend yield is higher than the
previous year of 0.21 and this is enough justification for investors to buy a stock just for
the dividend income.

39
^ Earnings per share Ratio

Earnings per share or EPS is an important financial measure, which indicates a loss of the
company. LBC earned -0.06 on the year 2019 compared to 1.38 on the previous year.
Earnings per share or EPS is an important financial measure, which indicates the
profitability of a company.
^ Price-Earnings Ratio

The price-to-earnings ratio indicates the amount an investor cannot expect to invest in a
company in order to receive one of that company's earnings. LBC shows a lower value of -
16.67 compared to 0.72 from the previous year. A lower P/E ratio shows that investors are
not willing to pay a higher share price today because of growth expectations in the future.

IV. Strategy Implementation (Recommendations)

A. Revised Mission and Vision Vision


To be the most trusted and innovative logistics partner, making life easier for everyone.

Mission
To deliver fast, reliable, and accessible logistics and remittance solutions that connect
people and businesses worldwide.

40
Year 1: 2021

1. Improve existing marketing strategies

LBC Express advertises their services through different social media platforms namely,
Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and LinkedIn. However, it seems that some people are still
unfamiliar or have little understanding with the services of the company. In order for the
company to better target new and returning customers and increase their brand awareness,
they should improve their social media engagement by using ads, videos, consumer-
generated content and cross promotions. As for their website/app, organizing events or
contests and creating online games will help them engage the local audience.
2. Increase average order value
LBC Express provides a wide range of services to its customers such as money-transfer
services, e-commerce and business solutions, and shipping services. However, their retail
logistics is the main driver for the company’s revenues and growth. That being said, in order
to better increase its revenue, as well as their brand value in the market, the company
should offer promotions that encourage customers to avail shipping services more. This
includes, increasing the minimum order amount of the customers.
3. Introduction of E-wallet
Due to the pandemic, preventive measures such as physical distancing, have driven people
to use online applications in transacting with other people or businesses. That being said, it
will be a great opportunity for the company to create the so-called "e-wallet”. This will
provide more flexibility to their customers, connectivity to a wide range of cards, security and
sends customers the latest updates about offers such as discounts and the like.
4. Expansion of workforce
The COVID-19 pandemic has made life more challenging for people and businesses. As a
result, demands for logistics business have increased. To be able to cater the demands of
the customers, more staff and employees should be recruited by the company. Each
employee should have different duties and responsibilities for the business to run smoothly.

41
5. Customer service training programs for staffs and employees
The company should invest in customer service training programs because this not only
adds value to the customers, but also helps the company increase its revenues and give the
company a strong competitive advantage.
6. Partnership to Global Companies
LBC Express has been part of some global companies which help them reach their goal in
terms of remittances. This year the company should be able to partner with other global
countries in order to cater the Filipinos who are working overseas. Being a partner will help
the company boost their marketing which can help in increasing the sales. Also, this will
make the company recover the losses that they had in the 2019 wherein they have losses in
the derivatives and foreign exchange.

Year 2: 2022
1. Acquisition of shipping softwares/programs
LBC is the largest courier, cargo and money remittance service in the Philippines. It
provides services from different parts of the globe which is why it is important for the
company to invest in advanced but cost-efficient shipping softwares. This would help them
make shipping services faster, easier and more affordable. Also, it would help the staff and
employees to have the information that they need in making better decisions on how to pick,
pack and ship orders.
2. Conduct trainings for the employees on the new softwares/programs Implementing
a new system is a big change for the employees. All of these changes and new processes
can be daunting to them. Employees may not have the same experience or knowledge in
learning the new softwares/programs on their own. As a result, this can cause
misunderstandings, unnecessary errors and problems to the company. Therefore, in order
to avoid these things, the company should invest in training programs for the employees.
This will not only allow them to make better and productive use of the new system, but will
also increase the productivity of the employees.
3. Renting a cloud storage

42
As the LBC Express continues to expand, the risk of getting hacking risk
increases. This means that the company should be able rent a cloud storage to protect
the data of its customers. One of the problems that people nowadays are facing is
private information theft which This reasonable assurance that the company will be able
to give will make the customer trust them more. Thus, having this will not only protect its
customers privacy but also to organize the set of information that the company has.

1. Making an eco friendly packages for delivery
Making eco-friendly packages for delivery would significantly be an advantage for
LBC Express since most of the companies use single-use-plastic which can harm the
environment. Also, the company can use this opportunity to be a manufacturer of eco-
friendly packages which they can sell to other courier companies.This solution is a win-
win strategy wherein the environment and the company will benefit from this.

Strengths

LBC Foundation sought to discover approaches to make an impact over the networks that it
serves. Given this thrust, LBC tried to build up associations with key government and
nongovernment organizations, while utilizing their center capacities as a business. From youth
and network improvement, training, climate and catastrophe alleviation, LBC will probably spike
positive change in the lives of Filipinos-a target that is attainable essentially on account of the
organization's intrinsic qualities and organization.
1. LBC Express Holdings, Inc. offers various administrations to purchasers and

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME). The organization of LBC is a trusted name in the
Philippines since it was established in 1945 with regards to guaranteeing their records, mail,
packages, boxes, and load, everything being equal, and sizes get conveyed, an occupation they
have dominated in for more than 70 years. Besides making a difference in lives and
communities, this is a trusted partner in helping your developing organization beat difficulties
with their business arrangements.

Online sellers and other micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have become an
integral part of the country’ s economy, thus, the need to empower them to further grow their
businesses. With this in mind, the country’s major courier, cargo and logistics and remittance
provider, the LBC Express, has developed a platform that will not only address the logistics
issue, but also the financial aspect of MSMEs.

45
2. Their capacity to apply their expertise in the business, with inventive innovation, and an
innate comprehension of what carries happiness to their clients is empowering them to
keep being a benchmark in this classification. LBC approaches with certainty and
confidence that they will have the option to satisfy the needs of the peak season and
convey incredible support of their huge number of clients everywhere on the globe.
3. LBC Express sees its role as being not just a courier company, but as a warm and
friendly partner who enjoys moving packages, goods, and money for its clients. It is
continually hoping to make the way toward moving or sending bundles and loads as
proficient and simple as could reasonably be expected, regardless of whether it's a little
blessing or an enormous business shipment. For Filipinos, that administration is
priceless and is significant to the progressing development and quality of LBC Express
as a noticeable worldwide Filipino brand. The organization is answerable for dispatching
shipments through resource based transporters and masterminds shipment space for
their clients.
4. LBC granted as the network's Preferred Freight Forwarding Company and Favored
Remittance Service Provider. LBC has more than 1,252 branches in the Philippines, and
more than 60 branches in the United States and Canada. It likewise has branches in
Hong Kong, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Germany, United Arab Emirates,
Spain, Kuwait, South Korea and Taiwan.
5. LBC is among the hardest contenders of Western Union. All things considered, the two
organizations are practically comparable to one another with regards to sheer outlet
plenitude. LBC Express is putting forth a valiant effort however, to beat its adversary in
reasonableness it is on the grounds that the accessibility and inclination. Regardless of
the number of areas such firms have, there are consistently puts where just one of them
is accessible.

46
Weaknesses

LBC Express Holdings, Inc. is active in the provision of facilities for logistics. It operates
through the segments of Logistics and Money. Retail clients and corporate clients are
represented by the Logistics section. Domestic and international money transfer systems are
part of the Money Segment. Below are weaknesses of LBC Express Holdings that they need to
improve on:

1. Potential customers purchase from other couriers because LBC has more expensive
packages in their courier services compared to others.
2. Competitors have better cargo delivery of products.
3. Needs more training in automatic updates of package location.
4. Customer complaints- damaged items during delivery & delayed delivery of
packages
5. LBC can improve branches that are not in good locations, crating of packages and
warehouse storage service.

Research and development is another field where distribution service providers may also
face a downside. Once more, distribution services need to continuously change and evolve. One
should not take the distribution business to the next stage without sufficient research and
development. In sales and revenue, you will quickly see your opponents outdo you merely
because they earned the benefits of having conducted extensive analysis on their internal
structure and external services.
Opportunities

The aim of LBC courier companies to produce opportunities to quantify and accurately
explain the activities needed to fulfill and accomplish a mission. Objectives describe the
strategies used by your company to attain revenue efficiency, standards of customer service
and promotional potential, as well as all other observable aspirations.
1. Achieving Financial Result

In order to emphasize the company’s financial goals, companies must have

47
specific financial goals. Goals should be optimistic, but they should still be practical and
achievable. The increase in business sales and profits may be an indication of a financial
target.
2. Improving Human Resource

The organization must hire qualified workers who can enforce the strategies and
maintain competitiveness and quality in order to function efficiently.
3. Customer Support Priority

Business administrators set priorities that focus on delivering quality customer service.
These goals aim to calculate consumer loyalty with a product or service’s expense and
overall efficiency. Reducing the supply and processing time of goods and services may
be a customer service target. Another may be to reduce the number of volume of
refunds and grievances from consumers or to increase the reaction time of consumer
inquiries.
4. Establishing Brand Recognition

Many small companies feel that brand promotion is another critical goal in the era of
social media marketing. Branding is all about marketing a product or service experience
by explaining to a customer how your organization serves a need or wish or making their
life more comfortable.
• What changes and trends in our external environment can we benefit from?
Technological progress is hitting the headlines in the courier sector, and the market is
becoming increasingly lucrative. Customers who are technologically linked are believers
in quick gratification, ease of access and seamlessness.
• Is the opportunity ongoing or is there a limited window to get involved?

Strategic alliances harness the capabilities of both players involved, opening numerous
channels and locations for us to receive remittances from all over the world for LBC in
particular. It also provides doors for potential investment prospects such as the
Philippines' external remittances, as well as tapping other nationalities around the globe.
• Is the demand growing or does it consider worth exploring other variables?

48
Yes, a courier firm is constantly developing LBC, and here are the variables that
will make it worthwhile to try. First is the speed delivery. The time taken for your clients
to receive their products from your delivery service will have an effect on your company's
image and improve (or lessen) your potential revenue. This is because the satisfied
clients are more likely the ones who will be to avail your services again. Secondly,
evidence of availability. Any shipping firm will go a stage further and give the customers
messages letting them know the approximate date & time to receive their courier and
their delivery driver's identity. A perfect shipping experience is generated by this intimate
interaction. And last, value of service to the consumer. On social media, some
disgruntled clients might voice their problems with you, leave bad feedback or even
grumble in real life to their friends. Before any distribution issues worsen, you will want to
track the whole shipment experience your consumers get.

• What is the best way to extend activities is to build existing partnerships with
businesses which have regular needs for couriers?

First of all, many of these organizations concentrate on delivering delivery


services for legal firms, finance companies, and other specialist businesses who need to
make deliveries on the very same day on a regular basis. This is one of the key reasons
a courier service retains daily sales while improving the company's valuation. The other
way to increase operations is to employ new couriers on an ongoing basis who will
support a larger variety of business accounts. This includes a modest expenditure in
resources in order to purchase automobiles.
• How is the courier sector changed by technology?

Innovation and technology have a deep influence on the corporate world today,
making professional careers simpler and more profitable. Staying ahead of shipments is
the essential key to generating satisfied consumers for every courier business. However,
it is hard to do so, with the present scenario of uncertain 5 to 8-hour delivery periods.
That is not to consider the e-commerce revolution that produces a lot of shipments which
need to happen immediately.
The following must be observed in order to maintain its brand strategy in the

49
market. By introducing a lot of public courier engines that can make the service efficient by
providing a fast-paced style of service where couriers are delivered in advance of the anticipated
time, the expectations of the customer will be fulfilled or even better surpassed. Improvement of
IMC networks that are ideal for targeting more customers through LBC is necessary.
5. Dine-in as well as delivery services shall be allowed to operate up to 24 hours a day, as far
as practicable, to augment the additional operational requirements and serve the needs of the
public, while enhancing income opportunities for workers.
6. Untapped markets that can still be tapped like the e-wallet for example. Since the pandemic
started, the demand for online money transfer transactions also increased. LBC can use this
opportunity to come up with their own e-wallet to boost the number of their customers.
Threats

In urban areas, freight transport and package distribution have been main practices that support
the economic and social growth of the cities. At the same time, numerous issues, deficiencies
and environmental impacts, impact this sector. In this scenario, raising awareness is emerging
in order to enhance transportation industry and travel, making them extra viable and sustainable
from an economic and perspective. Furthermore, the need to improve distribution productivity as
marginal profits are diminishing has driven them in emerging technology to recognize new
delivery solutions, including drop boxes, cargo bikes, electric cars, autonomous driving and
drones. Unsurprisingly, because of the relationship and the contradictions between the
distribution options themselves, as well as the entities running them and their marketing
strategies, the incorporation between the various delivery options is not complimentary.

It is vital for valued employees who travel to attempt to work to avoid potential risks that limit the
danger of contamination. The Novel Coronavirus, otherwise called COVID-19, can be
communicated from individual to-individual contact or went on through lifeless things. Since side
effects may not show for quite a long time subsequent to getting the disease, it might stay
dynamic on things, for example, ledges, personal computers, consoles, door handles, lift
catches, and numerous others. on 16 July 2020, the IATF

50
further amended the Omnibus Guidelines and provided, among others, that "(1) the operation of
industries and establishments are subject to the visitorial and enforcement powers of the DOLE
and DTI, and other appropriate agencies to ensure compliance therewith, especially the
compliance with the provisions on maximum allowable operational capacity in establishments,
as well as minimum public health standards and protocols, and (2) the national government
agencies and instrumentalities including GOCCs and LGUs shall adopt measures lawful and
necessary to implement and enforce the minimum public health standards;”
Threats facing our distributors that would have an impact on LBC are:

1. Legal problems, such as liability issues, dispute settlement, contractual irregularities, non-
compliance with laws and liabilities,
2. Software, such as device crashes and concerns relating to the use of redundant facilities.
3. Health and safety at work, such as injuries caused by products, machinery, or the location
of your workplace.
4. Security, such as kidnapping, theft, intellectual property loss, terrorism, racketeering and
online security fraud.
5. Services and infrastructure, such as faults or interruptions in the provision of commodities.

6. The market, such as shifts in the choice of buyers and intensified competition. Major Risks

faced by courier companies:

1. Fluctuating prices of petrol


2. Fleet drivers' reckless conduct/driving
3. Heavy traffic than average, leading to sudden spikes in costs and delays
4. Problems with the vehicle
5. Parcels missing
6. Failure of engines, which increases maintenance costs
7. Trouble in finding the location of courier dispatches
8. Special protection for delicate things
Additional Threats:

51
1. Like 2GO, PalawanExpress and many other courier and remittances who disrupt the
arrival of their goods or packages, LBC Express is currently facing issues that lead to
customer dissatisfaction.
2. Lack of notice from the client or guidance to inform the user on any issues and
difficulties experienced during the distribution period.
3. Issues with their monitoring system and distribution system because often, they return
back the package to its sender, whenever they are not able to contact the
recipient/receiver.
4. Increasing market share of other courier companies like 2GO, PalawanExpress and
many others
