01 — Vision

What are we building?

A two-sided marketplace where clients post transport jobs with their price and transporters bid, accept, or counter-offer. The best price wins — like a freight exchange that works for individuals and businesses alike.

"The FedEx of the gig economy — but where the transporter and client negotiate the deal."

Inspired by leading platforms that have proven this model works across courier services and trade-fair logistics across Europe.

Inspiration Sources
🇩🇪
zipmend.com
Express courier marketplace with online instant pricing, real-time tracking, and a large transporter network across Europe. Proven UX for quick bookings and live status.
🏭
stex-gmbh.com
Trade-fair & industrial freight specialist — demonstrates how specialized logistics (heavy items, event goods) can be systematized. Validates the B2B vertical angle.
🔄
Our Differentiation
Unlike fixed-price models, we introduce a bidding & counter-offer engine that lets the market set the price in real time — more fair for both sides.
02 — How It Works

The core loop

1
Post Request
Client describes item, pickup & destination, and offers a price
→
2
Market Sees It
Nearby transporters get notified of the new job listing
→
3
Bid / Accept
Transporter accepts the price or submits a counter-offer
→
4
Deal Closed
Client confirms, payment held in escrow, job starts
🧑‍💼
Client (Shipper)
  • Post a job with item details & budget
  • Receive multiple competing offers
  • Compare transporter profiles & ratings
  • Accept or negotiate via counter-offer
  • Track delivery live, pay on completion
🚛
Transporter (Driver / Carrier)
  • Browse available jobs on a feed or map
  • Accept client price or submit counter-offer
  • Manage ongoing deliveries via mobile app
  • Build rating & reputation over time
  • Receive payouts automatically after delivery
