Existing Routes Match Parcels Without New Van Journeys

Existing Journeys Carry Parcels

Senders post a delivery on the marketplace. Verified drivers who are already travelling that route carry the parcel. This approach relies on travel that would occur anyway.

The model requires no additional vehicle departures. Drivers continue their planned path while transporting the item to the destination.

How the Process Works for Senders

A sender enters the pickup and drop-off locations. The platform calculates a distance-based price with a minimum of €9. The sender pays the full amount into escrow before the match is confirmed.

Once the driver completes the route segment and the sender confirms receipt, the driver receives 70 percent of the price. The platform retains the remaining 30 percent as commission.

• Sender posts details of the parcel and route.
• Platform shows the total price and the 30 percent commission upfront.
• Driver accepts only if the journey aligns with existing plans.
• Payment moves from escrow to driver after confirmation.

Benefits of Avoiding Extra Vehicles

Using journeys already in motion means fewer vehicles enter service solely for deliveries. A driver heading between two cities can carry a parcel without changing the number of kilometres driven.

This reduces the total number of separate delivery trips. Senders avoid arranging a dedicated van that would travel the same distance empty on the return leg or as an added movement.

Short paragraphs keep the focus on the sequence of steps. The escrow hold protects the sender until delivery is verified. The driver receives payment only after that verification.

Practical Steps for Small Businesses

Small businesses can post multiple parcels on routes they already know are travelled regularly. The distance-based pricing remains consistent regardless of who carries the item.

The minimum €9 charge applies to shorter segments. Longer routes scale the price accordingly while still displaying the exact 30 percent platform share before any commitment.

Verification of drivers occurs before any match. Senders see only those drivers whose existing schedule fits the posted delivery.

Driver Perspective on Route Alignment

Drivers select deliveries that sit on paths they plan to drive. No extra fuel or time is added beyond the normal journey.

The 70 percent share is transferred after sender confirmation. All amounts, including the platform commission, appear in the initial quote.

This structure keeps the focus on matching rather than creating new transport capacity. The entire transaction stays within the details of the original route.
