This is a case study of PigeonShip, a pioneer in crowdsourced delivery service in order to solve the biggest problems with Crowdsourced Delivery.
No wonder Crowdsourced Delivery Services are the future of Delivery System. There is no denying the fact that there are ample resources and cars with free space running on our freeways that will make the traditional shipping companies obsolete. The need of the hour is building the right network to ensure delivery of items on a timely basis.
There are tons of apps promising a great peer to peer delivery solution but are they reliable enough. If you go through those apps there are a lot of items which nobody accepted, even when they offer the right value for a crowdsourced delivery platform. Who do you think is to be blamed. The price that a sender is offering or the network the delivery company forgot or ignored to build before letting you access that facility.
The essence of peer to peer delivery service is helping people earn on their commute or to make their commute free of cost and to ship items on a priority basis without incurring the charges of express delivery.
Here are a few things PigeonShip is working on to provide a seemless crowdsourced delivery experience.
1. Restricting Impossible Deliveries
PigeonShip does not let you post an item for $20 from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, as it does not provide the right value to a deliverer. Therefore, the chances of such a package getting accepted is next to impossible. A deliverer will not take the hassle of delivering such a package. Therefore there are minimum delivery charges that a person will have to incur in order to ship a package on a long route. The minimum being $10 for a small route with PigeonShip and increases with the distance and the urgency of the delivery.
2. Training For The Deliverers
Item delivery is a responsibility that a person takes, even when it is crowdsourced. The deliverers need to realize the responsibility they have taken when they accepted to deliver a package. PigeonShip has a training module that every deliverer (Pigeon) has to go through in order to be able to accept and deliver packages. The training includes modules for different kind of items. Whether it be food delivery or delivering a jacuzzi, there are different protocols that a Pigeon follows while delivering the same.
3. Business Deliveries
‘Business deliveries solved through Crowdsourced delivery‘ does that seem impossible? With PigeonShip it is not. PigeonShip’s web app is designed in a way that it can take care of your business deliveries easily. It is easy to integrate PigeonShip into your business platform. PigeonShip is also coming up with POS app which will be ready by the end of November, simply install PigeonShip plugin in your POS and deliver items with the click of a button like you do for UPS or FedEx. A business like a restaurant delivers on average 20 items in a day. Running a delivery platform in a restaurant costs like $10,000 a month at least and with PigeonShip you get it done with less than $5000 dollars a month. Cutting down the cost to half with the same.
4. Delivery Confirmations
A delivery confirmation system is something every crowdsourced delivery is trying to figure out, since FedEx and UPS have their palm pads taking care of it, for a crowdsourced delivery platform to bring that in place is tricky. PigeonShip has come up with a solution which is a 4 digit code which works as a confirmation for the delivery job. Moreover, PigeonShip is trying to make it easy for businesses to use PigeonShip as a business will not entertain getting confirmation calls from deliverers all the time, they will rather be looking for automation, so a confirmation system based on delivery confirmation documents is being developed right now, which should be out in 3 weeks. A deliverer uploads the delivery documents signed by the receiver on the PigeonShip platform which a Business Sender can go through and confirm the delivery on their portal leading to triggering the payment for the deliverer, in case of PigeonShip a Pigeon.
5. Smart Partnerships
Without a complete acceptance from the public for a crowdsourced delivery solution it gets difficult to earn the trust of the general public when it comes to ensuring the delivery quality. PigeonShip partners with companies all around United States, which ensures delivery of every item posted on PigeonShip’s portal in time. Earning the trust of the public in terms of reliability. PigeonShip literally goes an extra mile in order to ensure every item posted gets delivered in a timely manner. Therefore, PigeonShip has never had a package that is not delivered in the course of their operations.
6. What Price Should I Pay
A crowdsourced delivery works on flexible pricing but in order to live by the express shipping value that PigeonShip lives by, PigeonShip automatically populates the price that a Sender should be paying for a particular item. That removes the confusion that you have to go through when it comes to thinking of a price to pay. We do advise to bump up the price a little if the item requires a truck to be delivered or if it a very urgent delivery job. With our recent testimonials from companies, we have found that we have been able to decrease their delivery expense by 50%. Isn’t that amazing?
7. Security – No Problem
When it comes to crowdsourced delivery the biggest question that comes up is the security. What if a deliverer flees with my item? What if he breaks it? That is one genuine question that most of the peer to peer delivery startups fail to answer but not PigeonShip.
PigeonShip has a unique way of ensuring the security of the packages. PigeonShip segregates the packages on the basis of the size and does not reveal what is inside the package or what the item is till the time a deliverer or pigeon goes to pick it up. It eliminates the people fishing for expensive goods on crowdsourced platforms ready to flee with them. Therefore, every package gets accepted by a Pigeon with a true intent of delivering it. Moreover, PigeonShip personally ensures every item upto $500 in order to earn the trust.
