Consumer Habits Are Shifting To Meet Our Demanding Lifestyles

Problem:

Professional workweeks keep getting longer and many of us have more than one job. This might be a full-time position and freelancing on the side. Or two jobs just to keep up with the rising costs of living. This leaves us constantly connected often working weekends and before and after work hours.

Personal lives can take us well into the evenings and with increasingly competitive extracurricular activities, even kid’s schedules are busier than ever. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to get much of the day-to-day essentials done. This goes beyond hiring a cleaning company to a growing desire for on-demand solutions for almost every area of life.

Solution

There have always been courier companies and personal assistants that can perform a variety of pre-scheduled and last-minute errands, but they aren’t flexible or cost-effective. For example, you may not require a set number of hours per week or may be looking for a 24-hour as-needed solution.

Rideshare programs were the first on-demand consumer app and were the catalyst for a true emerging industry of which we are only at the tip of the iceberg. Next up was delivering food by partnering with restaurants that don’t have their own food delivery service, followed by apps to take loved ones who can’t drive to the doctor and pets to the vet. While innovative and effective, these apps require a different provider for each type of service 

Time is money so the convenience that these solutions such as Swiftly provide deliver a variety of personal and professional benefits including 

• Improve quality of life by minimizing stress

• Delegate to-do list tasks that don’t have to be performed by you

• Boost operational efficiency

• Fill last-minute gaps in staffing

• Minimize bottlenecks

• Boost sales by expanding delivery options

• And more

 Swiftly On-demand apps is a win/win and will create new and flexible job opportunities while supporting our increasingly time-strapped lives.

Market

Our current competition is minimal, primarily made up of solo apps who provide just one of the many services we offer—for far more per service than Swiftly’s subscription fees. 

The continuing growth in ‘Crowdshipping’ will increasingly become a viable means for reducing the vehicle activity required for parcel deliveries and the  Last mile urban freight globally: how and why is it changing?  People who are already travelling from points A to B to take a package along with them, thereby creating new informal logistics networks (US Postal Service, 2014)

Swiftly is not reinventing the wheel - we are owning our space!
