inDrive launches name-your-price freight service in South Africa
California-based mobility and urban services platform inDrive has launched a name-your-price freight service in South Africa, targeting small businesses and individuals.
InDrive is already active as a set-your-price e-hailing service in the country.
“The [freight] service aims to deliver reliability and efficiency on last-mile, in-city routes, with same-day delivery available on demand,” says the company.
inDrive.Freight's operations have now been launched in Cape Town and Johannesburg, with a programme to expand the offering to more cities by the end of the year.
inDrive.Freight promises the delivery of small parcels or large shipments of non-liquid freight, varying from 20 kg to 20 000 kg.
This also means that the service makes use of anything from compact cars for small boxes or personal use, to large trucks.
Customers can decide the shipment details, including timing, location and the choice of vehicle.
Customers also propose a freight price, to which drivers can respond by either accepting, declining without consequence, or by suggesting an alternate price.
All drivers and their documentation are “meticulously verified” for shipment security, while real-time delivery tracking ensures the cargo is safe, promises the company.
"At inDrive, we understand the unique logistics challenges that small businesses and individuals face," says inDrive business representative Southern Africa Vincent Lilane.
“We have introduced inDrive.Freight in South Africa to address these challenges. It is a comprehensive solution offering competitive pricing, timely delivery, and the flexibility and scalability needed in today’s fast-paced world.”
