Ishippo Provides Business Owners With Logistical Solutions

— August 18, 2015 — Tech
Home businesses now have a more efficient app which can better connect business owners to their customers. Th iShippo app relies on peer-to-peer and crowd-sourced logistics that allow for complete transparency among sellers, shippers and buyers.

The focus of the app is to fulfill the transformation needs of home businesses and entrepreneurs. iShippo creates a unique and efficient logistic ecosystem. The platform allows users to operate in a much wider geographical area than most startups can occupy. Individuals and businesses that work in transport or delivery industries are an integral part of the app, as they facilitate the transportation needs of home businesses.

iShippo allows users to "summon a genie" who will then take care of immediate transportation needs for a given business, and even provide personal assistance. Essentially the app consolidates home businesses and their logistical needs in a convenient way.
