Lalamove reaffirms fair, transparent order dispatch in China

Huolala, the on-demand logistics giant known as Lalamove outside China, has announced a major initiative to enhance algorithm transparency and fairness in its order dispatch system on its Weibo account.

The company outlined key measures to ensure ethical algorithm practices while safeguarding driver rights and platform security.

According to the company, the system does not engage in data abuse, discriminatory pricing, or unfair treatment of users. Variables such as user device type, location, and registration time do not influence pricing or service quality.

Huolala has reaffirmed that drivers are not forced to accept orders.

This announcement is part of Huolala’s broader initiative to promote fairness and transparency across its platform.
