ParcelPal Tech set to beta test app in coming weeks

PARCELPAL ON-DEMAND DELIVERY TAPS SMART PHONE BOOM

ParcelPal Technology Inc. is in the final stages of development of its anticipated consumer application which is set for beta testing in the coming weeks.

ParcelPal is aiming into an additional market by focusing on the $60-billion consumer dining in North America. Select beta test users will be able to order from their favourite restaurants through ParcelPal and have the food delivered to their doorsteps within an hour with a tap of the app.

This is the first phase of the application, and will consist of launching with restaurants in the Vancouver area and move into other areas of retail goods in future versions. The app is set to become a full marketplace where consumers can order virtually anything and have it delivered to them in an hour or less. In anticipation of the launch, ParcelPal is expecting to have more than 100 restaurants available for consumers to select and order from.

President Kelly Abbott states: "With the penetration of smart phones, the world has changed, as has the ability to purchase through a mobile device. We are more than pleased to offer and introduce this groundbreaking mobile technology to Vancouver. The ParcelPal team has brought our vision of creating a consumer app that is truly needed; this is the first step of many for our team creating innovative technology. Along with the new ParcelPal application, we'll continue to explore and push the boundaries of e-commerce and logistics within local markets."

ParcelPal officially launched in June, 2016, with its business-to-business delivery platform and has enjoyed organic growth throughout Vancouver.

How it works

Through the ParcelPal iOS app, customers enter their address and view a list of merchants available in their neighbourhood. Once the customer makes a selection, they simply place the order and pay on-line through the ParcelPal secure ordering platform. The order is then prepared by the restaurant and brought directly to customers by a ParcelPal driver anywhere they choose to be in Vancouver. Customers will also have the option to order and pick it up themselves.
