Inspiration

The COVID-19 virus put many small and medium businesses into a difficult situation as customers are not going to shops. These entrepreneurs or companies were not prepared for home delivery. Custom and not professional solutions end up inefficient delivery uncertainty and long waiting times is a risk also from the virus spreading point of view and they do not generate enough revenue for the businesses. Another problem that we focus that this solution can be used as a plugin for existing big package delivery solutions as it helps to minimize the waiting time for customers as notifies them in real-time when the delivery is close and provides a virtual ringing, so delivery efficiency can be increased with ~20%.

What it does

We help SMEs to keep their business running

  • Help people to keep their jobs
  • Full-featured delivery service in 5 mins
  • State of the art technology

We provide one application for people to find all local businesses

  • Keep buying from the well-known shops
  • Find new local SMEs to get the quality products

We provide package delivery software

  • Delivering more packages per day
  • Integration to existing delivery services (plug-in)

We have designed and we have developed a Software as a Service type of solution where SMEs can generate and register their shop/service and start their own package delivery service supported by modern applications. People should use only one application and all SMEs will appear here who have joined to this service and this way local shops can use one easy platform to manage delivery to customers. Customers can easily check local SMEs that offer delivery and this way local businesses can keep going. The solution also offers real-time and easy package monitoring by default and people can no exactly when their package will arrive and there will be no uncertainties and long waiting outside for packages. Delivery shares will be also part of the solution so drivers can help each other optimize routes and handle multiple packages. We think that this service is a great option for SMEs to quickly jump into delivery service and keep their business going. Also, this solution can be a plugin for existing package delivery services into existing sites or applications as well. It helps drivers and customers to minimize waiting time with modern proximity and real-time monitoring and with a virtual ring feature.

How We built it

The solution will have two web-based frontends and two mobile applications.

  • Admin web frontend: this is where a business can register and customize some basic things (logo, colors, background, etc.), also on this site the application can be managed and overviewed.
  • Driver mobile application: an independent application for local businesses or a plugin to existing package delivery companies. It is used to notify users about delivery and proximity of the package to ensure that the user will be outside waiting for the package to minimize the waiting time.
  • User web frontend: this frontend used by users to monitor package delivery
  • User mobile application: a more advanced application where packages can be monitored from every shop from where they have ordered including the local small businesses
