Midlands – November 29, 2024 – On this Black Friday, a new same-day delivery software solution called YOVOY has been announced and is set to launch in Spring 2025. This platform will provide UK businesses with effortless, flexible, and on-demand access to dedicated same-day courier services for all types of parcels, from traditional boxes to bulky and awkwardly shaped packages. Essentially, it will create a virtual delivery fleet for faster and easier logistics and distribution.
With YOVOY, sender businesses will be able to connect with a network of available and validated commercial drivers who are actively seeking routes and have the right vehicle to handle their specific needs.
The platform will operate through a mobile app for drivers and a web app for senders, allowing senders to post and award jobs directly to delivery drivers at the best market price. It will also provide total cost transparency and predictability, as senders will have control over the cost of their distribution by setting a job price or allowing drivers to bid. YOVOY will only charge a flat 10% handling fee from senders on the final agreed price.
According to YOVOY Co-Founder Michael McCullen, “Growing businesses and those with less than standard offerings have been pretty badly served by traditional carriers and couriers until now.” He further adds that YOVOY will be a fresh solution to ensure that every same-day parcel gets to every customer safely and on time, regardless of its size, frequency, or volume. YOVOY will act as a dependable and always-on virtual delivery fleet, adding value to businesses and supporting their customer reputation.
In today’s modern world, delivering goods to customers should be simple. However, for many growing businesses, it presents a significant amount of stress. With no distribution fleet of their own, millions of businesses in the UK struggle to find suitable and reliable delivery solutions. Traditional carrier, courier, and parcel delivery options are often unsuitable due to unpredictable charges, hidden costs, or minimum contract volumes. Additionally, many providers are unable or unwilling to handle non-standard and awkwardly shaped parcels.
On the other hand, YOVOY aims to help ambitious makers, manufacturers, retailers, and sellers deliver their products reliably using affordable dedicated same-day services. With dedicated deliveries, vehicles are used exclusively for a sender’s parcel, or a limited number of parcels are collected from the same pick-up area for delivery to the same drop-off location. This allows for a wide range of parcel types to be accommodated, including bulky, awkward, and fragile shipments.
Some of the benefits that businesses can expect from YOVOY include a simple job posting process, built-in job pricing support, and a choice of fixed price or open bid job types. They will also have clear visibility of jobs in progress or planned through a powerful business dashboard, along with business and job-specific insights. YOVOY will provide businesses with scalable distribution logistics at optimal market rates on a pay-as-you-go basis, and they will be able to communicate directly and securely with drivers on any job in progress.
For drivers, YOVOY will be an effective and efficient way to find, apply for, and gain profitable work. The platform will allow them to search, sort, and filter available jobs, choose to receive automatic job notifications on their mobile device, and review comprehensive and precise job details. YOVOY will also offer prompt payment within 7 days of proof of delivery, relieving drivers from funding their fuel and vehicle costs in advance of receiving payment. They will also have access to a personal business dashboard to set and monitor their financial goals and driving activities.
YOVOY is set to launch in Spring 2025 and will offer a 20% discount on handling fees for each job booked for the first three months after sign-up for senders. Additionally, drivers who register will have the chance to subscribe for free for the first three months. The company is actively seeking sending businesses who want to explore how YOVOY can help them build their business, expand their delivery reach, or start offering same-day delivery services to their customers.
