Staring a local delivery service during COVID-19 crisis

Dear Users and Friends:

Hope everyone is staying safe during this COVID-19 crisis.

I wanted to share few thoughts and resources with you if you are looking to start a delivery service in your area to serve affected local businesses and also help people in the process.

1. Restaurant delivery (It’s not done yet!)

2. Small Businesses (Small business deliveries) 

3. Grocery Delivery (Needs are increasing everyday)

Restaurant Delivery: Start a restaurant centric delivery company. Charge commission free delivery fees. There are too many ways for restaurants to take online orders these days, but not many ways to deliver. 

We have partnerships/integrations in place with most of the online ordering platforms to bring orders in our dispatch system including ChowNow, Gloria Food, Grubhub and others. Here is a detail resource guide for you to consider: https://www.questtag.com/covid-19

Small Business Delivery: You can use our existing online order forms or create custom Google forms for businesses to send you their delivery orders. We are in the process of implementing payment for US and Canada based customers on order forms so that you can charge credit cards too during the order placement. The orders will come to your dispatch and you can run your delivery operations from there. 

Grocery Delivery: This will be a new business opportunity for many during this crisis to get grocery or farm items delivered to home. You can create your own ordering site with Shopify or other platforms, or use our existing forms or google forms for your local grocery store to send you orders. 

You can then manage everything from QuestTag dispatch dashboard and Driver App.

But please remember to practice safety best practices such as contact-less delivery and others measures if you choose to do it now. 

If you are interested to discuss more, please send us a quick note: info@questtag.com

Why the world needs a free dispatch and delivery tracking solution?

The first use of internet for many people were though free email accounts. Free email service like hotmail, yahoo mail, and later gmail brought people online to communicate with each other, start businesses correspondence and later do business transactions though e-commerce.

The growth of e-commerce is still at the early stage. Only 10-12% of world wide retail is though e-commerce. It is expected to grow to 40% in next 10-15 years. One thing that grows with the adoption of e-commerce is parcel delivery because most of the online purchases require a delivery, often a short distance local delivery.

This gives rise to the opportunity for growth for small delivery companies all over the world. Sometimes many businesses can choose to delivery themselves, same as the neighborhood pizza shop has been doing for decades. To manage the chaos of deliveries with small or large team, business needs simple and easy to use tools to make their life easy.

For many young entrepreneurs, especially in the developing countries, a FREE delivery tracking tool could help them begin delivery company in their city and support online commerce within their community. The possibilities are endless.

QuestTag wants to let thousand flowers bloom in last mile logistics to create the strong and agile foundation for tomorrow’s e-commerce globally.

The future of local delivery is here - and it's not robot YET!

E commerce is still 10-12% of the global retail sales. For many developing countries, it is just starting. How our last mile delivery will change when E-commerce reaches 50% of retail transactions. It requires a highly automated infrastructure in larger cities coordinating between robots and human though sensors and internet connectivity.
