Jumping on the Sharing Economy Business model
You’re embarking on a holiday trip to Singapore for a couple of days and will like to be able to make the trip worthwhile by doing as much sightseeing as you possibly can. Sightseeing can be inexpensive, unlike transport and accomodation. You know that flagging down a cab at the airport to send you to the hotel you have booked will be relatively costly. Nightly hotel rates are also overpriced. So, how should you reduce these unnecessary costs to stretch your budget on sightseeing?
We’re sure Grab and Airbnb are the services that instantaneously come to our Singaporean minds given the above scenario. You should already know by now; Grab is a ride-sharing platform that offers economical prices compared to traditional flag-downs, and Airbnb is a service that allows anyone to offer accommodations for travellers. There’s a great deal of reasons as to why these services are the first solution that springs spontaneously in our heads.
Airbnb and Grab are the few successful businesses that adopt the sharing economy business model to supply demand at lower rates. Charges are also transparent to users and are at the convenience of their hands. You can just be sitting on the toilet bowl while booking a ride to visit your grandparents. Or you can be booking a stay just a night before your trip to Dubai, knowing exactly how much you have to pay. It is as simple and convenient as that. That’s why everyone loves these services so much!
Now you may be wondering, what is sharing economy? Sharing economy focuses on the sharing of underutilized assets that improve efficiency and sustainability of the community through peer-to-peer (P2P) activities.
So what makes Qourier so unique and different from the general post office?
You! Just like Grab and Airbnb, Qourier also uses the sharing economy business model to provide low and affordable rates for customers. With over 8000 and growing verified freelancers delivering daily parcels to customers, you are the reason why we are able to provide same-day delivery at lower charges.
- Sustainability
Got a car and will like to earn some extra money? Come join us! Qourier will assign a delivery job for you. You can choose to do it anytime of the day as you like. How great is that! Qourier reduces carbon footprint by hiring freelancers instead of purchasing its own fleet of vehicles and hiring inhouse drivers. This way, we are able to lower costs and offer flat rates.
2. Efficiency
Driving home and have an extra space in your car? Why not pick up a parcel and drop it off around your neighbourhood while earning extra cash at the same time! Qourier connects you to jobs that are convenient for you, which helps you do just that!
How does Qourier maintain its reliability with its freelancers?
Our crowd of freelancers are carefully examined through the registration process when they register through our app. Important details such as occupation and mode of transport are required to be provided and will be saved into our database system.
Think of a scenario where a freelancer accepts a job where he/she is incapable of completing due to varying reasons such as restriction of weight or vehicle size. Instead of demanding for job completion, our dedicated operation service team who monitors all delivery jobs, will inform and assist him/her to cancel or switch to a manageable delivery task.
