1. THE BEGINNING

This innovation initially came to life when…

Our delivery company Liquorun.com grew like crazy expanding around Australia and into US.

We kept running into the same 4 problems as we scaled:

Visibility over our drivers?
Who do we dispatch to efficiently?
How do we route efficiently?
It was expensive to run a call centre so how could we reduce the “where’s my delivery?” calls each shift?

Technology can obviously solve all of these problems…However…once we set out to solve this for ourselves we realised that this was a much broader issue amongst delivery businesses globally.

We eventually offered our newly developed delivery management system to the world.
