Local Courier Apps

The Bringr App for Delivery is Like Uber for Sending & Tracking Parcels Nearby

— August 12, 2016 — Business
This Uber-esque app for delivery uses a peer-to-peer model is a cost-effective alternative to using an express courier service. Based in Belgium, startup Bringr allows people to book a courier on-demand and track their progress. Instead of paying more for tracking numbers through national post offices or private messenger services, Bringr translates an old school offering into the age of on-demand platforms.

The mobile solution connects both customers to the items they are trying to send as well as others willing to deliver them. With driving, biking and on-foot options, the app for delivery works similarly to Uber in that it notifies nearby messengers of an item waiting to be delivered locally. On the other end, users can follow their package via GPS technology.
Trend Themes
1. Peer-to-peer Delivery - Disrupt the traditional courier market with cost-effective peer-to-peer delivery models.
2. On-demand Platforms - Transform old-school offerings into the age of on-demand platforms by providing swift delivery solutions that are user-friendly and available to customers anytime, anywhere.
3. GPS Tracking and Notification System - Incorporate GPS technology for a seamless experience, allowing customers to easily track the location of their package and messengers to receive real-time notifications for nearby items waiting to be delivered.
Industry Implications
1. Delivery Services - New delivery services can use peer-to-peer models to provide their customers with quick, affordable and flexible options.
2. Logistics and Supply Chain - Companies that leverage on-demand and GPS-based delivery solutions can improve their logistics efficiencies, which leads to cost savings and enhanced customer satisfaction.
3. E-commerce and Retail - E-commerce companies can use advancements in delivery services to improve their overall experience and increase customer loyalty by providing a fast and hassle-free delivery service.
