We currently have 73 customers and 4 riders on our mobile platform. These riders are there to receive requests of these customers.
We are running a parallel model for conventional delivery and crowdsourced,our conventional delivery has about 70 customers and 2 dedicated riders on salary.This parallel run helps us understand why customers would want conventional method over on-demand.
This will helpus improve the product and build a better customer centric app

Add comment

Mai-kawo app shows the user the distance between pickup and delivery location,time it will take to deliver.
Payment is made on the app and only successful payments are assigned to a rider.
Mai-kawo app updates the customer about the status of the package and location of the rider,it also allows in app calls to the rider.
Our push notification is instant,when a rider is assigned to a customer's request or status of their package changes,they are notified via push notifications realtime.
Our target riders are uber/taxify drivers,private citizens interested in making money in their daily commute.
Our target customers are individuals/professionals who need instant cheap delivery,with our model,the hiring of in-house traditional deliveryman is gone,the cost of keeping them can be invested in the business,every company that needs a delivery can 'Kawo It'
