Abstract
Pakistan is about to face a disruption in Transport/Logistics industry due to ongoing projects including CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor) and Gwadar seaport.
All port and silk road operations will be covered by the government and the usual business in Pakistan will have no benefit with that. To make our transport industry grow and digitalize we aim to provide them a platform that is equally beneficial for the business sector as well as a house-wife who can use it for her home furniture relocation like UBER and CAREEM.
Pakistan is in the process of digitizing their system from Traffic Tickets to their payment through online payment processors and entire railway system to SmartCity Project, even though you can also register through Citizen Portal App. These newly implemented technologies will take time as we have to educate our society about these platforms.
Similarly, our platform Deliever-it is just bringing ease for daily or once in a blue moon shippers to send their cargo without any hesitation. Pakistan do 70% of their road trade through Afghan-Transit, which is the same border where smuggling cases are most. Using our system will allow the authorities to track and monitor truck/driver details. The transportation industry plays role of the backbone. Especially our country which is a third world country we cannot afford sea or air transportation but road transportation. Emerging economy and disruption in this sector are our motivation. Everyone in their life period needs transportation of goods. As described in the image, the number of registered vehicles is rapidly increasing every year. The need for more business opportunities must also be available for each industry equally.
