In the logistics company roadie eyes, everyone can change body Meng Meng

Roadie, the first Neighbor-to-neighbor transportation company headquartered in Birmingham, recently received 10 million dollars in financing, including Ups,warren Stephens, Tomorrowventures and so on.

What is the difference between a logistics company with 10 million dollars in financing and a General Express company?

Roadie's operating process is this: when you want to send a parcel from one city to another (or to the Chaoyang District from Haidian District, although China does not yet have the service), you can go to the Roadie app to see if there are any roadies (they call the driver that name) By the way, you can get a ride to your gig (the goods you want to transport). You can talk about the price and the time on the app, and then roadie will help you deliver. In the process you can also track your package in real time, or your roadie with a spoiled brat to ask him to deliver quickly, the whole software is full of warm human touch.

As a transporter, you can not only earn cash in the process, but also get free road rescue provided by roadie. At present, Roadie will announce the cooperation with some roadside hotels, as a helpful roadie transporter, you will be able to enjoy special accommodation discounts. and the foundation of all this, as the founder of roadie Marc Gorlin said, is People's helpfulness.

Currently roadie supports iOS and Android two versions. Earlier Uber Essentials express service suspension for this piece of market to make a huge vacancy, but Uber have given up the cause, with what roadie can succeed?

In my opinion, they have a completely different starting point. UberEssentials's launch reflects Uber's ambition in the logistics industry, but he has not found a good way to get there. And roadie spirit of "let the World Full of love" The Good Hope, in fact, is to reduce customer expectations of service, there are more social components in it.

Secondly, with a large number of drivers and vehicle resources, in fact, roadie very good solution to a number of special logistics problems. Let's say you've got an antique chandelier in the second-hand market, if the use of traditional courier, in the big truck and other express head-on is very unsafe, and most of the courier companies are not insured, so this case, if you can find a "private car" is actually a better choice. Another example tonight and girlfriend to go to concerts, but the ticket fell at home, looking for express company is obviously unrealistic.

Best of all, roadie dug up the value of everyone as a courier. Think about your daily commute to work, the route to work, the route to pick up your girlfriend, each of us has some fixed, frequent traffic hot lines, our logistics potential on these lines is far too high for those logistics companies. The founder and CEO of Marc Gorlin,roadie said roadie would unveil everyone's hot road map, and roadie's logistics network would subvert the entire logistics industry. This "Hotspot Roadmap" is implemented by the "Roudie Route Learning" in roadie applications and will eventually be directed at Roadie's old users.

Give everyone a chance to be a courier, this new type of logistics model, to some extent, coincides with the idea of "sharing economy", and makes the traditional transportation become an on-demand service: In roadie, people are a kind of transportation resources, through this platform on demand transportation resources to solve the logistics demand, can maximize the overall benefit.

In the past six months, Roadie has secretly recruited drivers in 49 states, and roadie is active in the southeastern United States, such as Florida,georgia,carolinas, but it can be predicted that its expansion is only a matter of time.
