The opportunity
Why this business works now
The last part of delivery shapes the customer’s view of the entire purchase. Merchants need a partner that collects on time, communicates clearly and handles successful deliveries and returns consistently. The plan explains merchant onboarding, order uploads, labels, collection windows, hub or direct sorting, route batching, driver dispatch, recipient updates, proof of delivery, exceptions and daily reconciliation.
Merchant-led delivery
Online stores and local retailers can use the service repeatedly.
Dense local routes
Grouped stops help drivers complete more deliveries efficiently.
Delivery and returns
The operation can manage successful orders and reverse logistics.
