Say you’re working away on some documents for different clients. You’re busy, you’re in control, and you would like it to stay that way. As a business owner, a boss, a parent, or someone who likes to know where their resources are being used, you should have more power to achieve and run your business or operations on your own terms.
But in today’s business climate, you don’t always get to have a say on your own business practises. Especially when it comes to delivering items where and when you need them, you don’t get to decide who delivers your items, how they deliver it, and how much it should cost you with traditional courier companies. Thanks to the rise of peer-to-peer (P2P) apps and services like Uber, AirBnB, BlueApron and so much more you can assume control of all your own decisions. Where you stay, how you get there, what you eat, and more are now fully serviceable and controllable through the power of your smartphone.
What Is The Sharing Economy?
ALL of this forms part of what we call “the sharing economy”. The good folks from the blog at The People Who Share defined the sharing economy as collaborative place unlike anything seen before. “[It’s] a socio-economic ecosystem built around the sharing of human and physical resources. It includes the shared creation, production, distribution, trade and consumption of goods and services by different people and organisations.”
So you’ve got a business, you have products you need sent or delivered and you need it done now. Or you’re a busy parent who’s ferrying your family to where they need to be while staying on top of your own housework and job. It’s hard work, but in the sharing economy you’re among friends. Now say that you need to be in several places at once. Sound familiar? With Go People you’ll be able to set up and schedule some items you need delivered all while working on other projects at the same time.
Is It That Easy?
But how do I know everything’s going according to plan? The beauty of Go People’s custom-made app ensures that you’re always clued in and always in the know. Following our simple steps, you can be empowered knowing that once you’ve selected your delivery and destination address, a Runner will be on your way at a price that suits you most. Once your parcel’s in the hands of our capable Runners, you can get back to organising everything else that’s leading your agenda for the afternoon.
Notifications As Soon As They Happen
In between different tasks your phone will be sending you updates every now and again with how your parcel is travelling. Through Go People you, or someone else you nominate, can be notified after its delivery or even include other parties to that alert. Need your 2IC to know that your parcel has been delivered to your client on time? Sorted. Go People will broadcast that successful delivery to whomever you decide.
But what if you have questions during your delivery? What if the circumstances change and you need to get a message straight your Runner? With an old courier service that would have never been possible, because you could only track your order once it had passed through certain checkpoints. With Go People, you’ll be able to able to track your order every step of the way through our cutting-edge GPS technology.
Now you’ll have one more aspect of your day in your power as you watch your parcel pass through the city. If you require a progress report through your parcel’s journey, you can discuss this with your Runner before delivery. You can organise for your Runner to notify you through the app once they’ve reached the halfway point, just to make sure everything is running to schedule.
You can even improve your shopping experience by enhancing it Go People. Make a purchase online and a Go People Runner can deliver it straight to your door. Every day our application gets more powerful and we are continually looking for new and better ways to get your items to where you need them to go.
Power Literally In Your Hands
Such power has never before been in your hands, but today we’re more in control than ever. Now with the tap of a few buttons, you can have a parcel that needs delivering, no matter what size, picked up, dispatched, updated, and delivered all on your terms. Better yet, you can be notified every step of the way and even monitor its progress throughout its entire journey through Go People.
Continually, the sharing economy is growing more and more each day. There have been almost 2 million nights booked through AirBnB since its humble begins (with the company tipped to be valued over $10 billion to date) and people all around the world are finding new ways to connect their skills with your needs.
There’s never been a greater time than ever to take important aspects of your business into your own hands including how your parcels, packages, and documents get to who needs them. All you need is a smartphone and a need to send something. Let Go People do the rest.
