The app, which features advanced\u00a0authentication technology and real-time tracking, aims to offer greater peace of mind to users in\u00a0Singapore who have experienced the frustration and inconvenience of misdeliveries by traditional\u00a0courier services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve personally gone through numerous delivery misfortunes, so we decided to develop an app\u00a0that is easy to use and one that will garner user confidence\u201d, said Michael Tan, Zap Delivery Co-founder\u00a0and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cWith this app, we hope to transform and disrupt the way the\u00a0traditional logistics industry works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key app features<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Drawing inspiration from the public\u2019s familiarity and trust in the One-Time Password (OTP) used in\u00a0secure banking transactions, Zap Delivery features a similar patent-pending, authentication\u00a0technology, which replaces the arbitrary signatures that traditional couriers usually use to confirm\u00a0delivery receipts. This process ensures that items arrive not only safely, but also to the rightful\u00a0recipients. Additionally, the app features real-time tracking that allows senders to know the exact\u00a0location of their items, every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>With a transparent and attractive pricing structure, and a cashless payment system in place, Zap\u00a0Delivery seeks to keep express delivery costs affordable for users, from as low as S$5.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helping aspiring couriers earn additional income<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Harnessing the power of crowdsourcing, anyone who is eligible and looking for additional income\u00a0can partner Zap Delivery to provide a courier service. The app matches courier partners with the\u00a0nearest customers who need immediate service within their vicinity. Zap Delivery\u2019s courier partners\u00a0can act upon delivery requests immediately, without having to go through a hub-and-spoke network\u00a0used by traditional courier services. With this system, they will be empowered to complete more\u00a0deliveries and earn a higher supplementary or main income, as compared to being traditional\u00a0couriers. They are also free to choose their preferred modes of transportation \u2013 from driving,\u00a0cycling, to hopping onto the public transportation network or even a hoverboard.<\/p>\n<p>Zap Delivery currently has a network of more than 500 courier partners, all of whom have passed\u00a0stringent qualification and background checks.
