New Zap Delivery mobile app features advanced authentication technology and real-time tracking to ensure a better fate for documents and parcels
SINGAPORE, 26 January 2016 – Zap Delivery, an on-demand express courier service, today announced the launch of its mobile app that guarantees the fast, secure and reliable deliveries of documents and parcels locally in under two hours. The app, which features advanced authentication technology and real-time tracking, aims to offer greater peace of mind to users in Singapore who have experienced the frustration and inconvenience of misdeliveries by traditional courier services.
“We’ve personally gone through numerous delivery misfortunes, so we decided to develop an app that is easy to use and one that will garner user confidence”, said Michael Tan, Zap Delivery Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. “With this app, we hope to transform and disrupt the way the traditional logistics industry works.”
Key app features
Drawing inspiration from the public’s familiarity and trust in the One-Time Password (OTP) used in secure banking transactions, Zap Delivery features a similar patent-pending, authentication technology, which replaces the arbitrary signatures that traditional couriers usually use to confirm delivery receipts. This process ensures that items arrive not only safely, but also to the rightful recipients. Additionally, the app features real-time tracking that allows senders to know the exact location of their items, every step of the way.
With a transparent and attractive pricing structure, and a cashless payment system in place, Zap Delivery seeks to keep express delivery costs affordable for users, from as low as S$5.
Helping aspiring couriers earn additional income
Harnessing the power of crowdsourcing, anyone who is eligible and looking for additional income can partner Zap Delivery to provide a courier service. The app matches courier partners with the nearest customers who need immediate service within their vicinity. Zap Delivery’s courier partners can act upon delivery requests immediately, without having to go through a hub-and-spoke network used by traditional courier services. With this system, they will be empowered to complete more deliveries and earn a higher supplementary or main income, as compared to being traditional couriers. They are also free to choose their preferred modes of transportation – from driving, cycling, to hopping onto the public transportation network or even a hoverboard.
Zap Delivery currently has a network of more than 500 courier partners, all of whom have passed stringent qualification and background checks. The service is now available on iOS and Android mobile devices.
