Summary
The rapid growth in e-commerce is changing the consumer behavior, increasing the logistic burden in last-mile delivery. From this fact are arisen two mayor problems. For one side, our logistic infrastructure will never be ready for the number of delivery-vehicles required to fulfill such demand. From the other, last-mile delivery entails the ≈53% of the transport costs, a figure that most of the SME cannot assume. Hence, an oligopolistic horizon of large companies like Amazon will come unless smart solutions will avoid it.
Nimber is a decentralized delivery-company that is disrupting logistics in Norway. Our vision is to become the global leaders in the last-mile delivery sector by providing the market with a sustainable, efficient, CO2 minimal and convenient alternative to last-mile delivery for SME and individuals.
In this regard,Nimber platform presently matches persons needing items delivered with the most optimal delivery solution: people going that way anyway. Thus, we operate for peer-to-peer deliveries (P2P). With SWIFTLY, we seek to hybridize our peer-to-peer model into the business-to-customer (B2C) or business-to-business (B2B) sectors. For such aim, we will offer two novel tools: a bundling algorithm which optimizes loads and deliveries per route to increase the profitability of the professional bringers' services and a pricing algorithm to offer the fairest pricing for both parties (bringer and sender) and speed up the time to close a deal. With this approach we solve the problems of rapidly-growing e-commerce by optimizing existing commuter pathways to deliver goods.
