Pay 'em to Deliver

Image
Voyago is making more changes to our business model. When running a start-up there are so many things to think about. Budget, staff, technology, investors, resources, etc... Our team had an amazing idea on reforming the logistics business. Allowing regular people to transport packages all over the world. A peer to peer network where someone can receive mail in Tokyo from a business traveler in Texas. A very ambitious task. One issue we've had was getting people to trust us. Soon, Voyago will embark on hiring Voyago-ers to deliver parcels. Having a core group of trusted people to deliver will also help our customers trust the app. "Trust the App!". Let's face it most of us are very cautious when it comes to giving a complete stranger their personal goods. We realized that no matter how great and easy the app was. People at the end of the day still need some reassurance that loss will not take place. The cool thing about the ability to pay people to deliver is t...

Last Mile Agents

Image
Voyago is on it's way! Our team had to really understand the shipping industry. As a small team of coders, we really didn't have any clue on how to compete with the large shipping agents. It's a killer industry. With competition super high we needed another angle on how to be players in such a wild environment. One thing we needed to keep in focus was what users actually want. FREE DELIVERY! Being able to keep up with the "Amazon Effect" is imperative. This is the most crucial aspect to Voyago . There have been many competitors who realize the importance of shipping items at lightning speeds. But we're not there yet. The Amazon Effect has radically changed how quickly consumers get products. The key is volume. When we look at how shipping is performed within the US Amazon has shaped the market. Amazon has used existing logistics networks to be able to transport lots of parcels within the US with free shipping now being the norm. Amazon has enabled courie...

Where we've been, where we're going.

Voyago started a few years ago. Wow, it's amazing what happened since we first had the idea of using travelers to deliver parcels. The idea of Voyago isn't new. There are several apps on the market who are trying to crack the shipping problem. Amazon Flex, Hitchhiker, PopBox, and others are racing to get customers. Their innovative apps have done a great job overall. They've realized that there are people who want safe, secure, reliable, and most of all efficient shipping. Voyago has made an app that you can get for free. One of the cool features on our app is the ability to be your own boss. By delivering packages within your city you can get an income.  Just by sending mail to people. There are of course risks. You may ask, How reliable are these people? How can I be sure that someone won't steal my stuff or worse lose it? And what happens in case I need to return my stuff, etc.. That's where our app comes excels. Voyago is like Airbnb or Uber. In the sense t...

Why Fight?

Image
Running a start-up can have it's ups and downs. The challenges of dealing with finances, technology, customer satisfaction, growth, and many other critical issues are present when a new company is being formed. An element that needs to be completely removed is Inner fighting. These ills are always present when people interact. Conflicts in a team can be a big obstacle when reaching our business goals. Challenges in personality can make or break a start-up. Voyago is no different. Our team, although small has been able to avoid such conflicts since our co-founders have a personality mesh. A personality mesh is something we view as many aspects within our founders characters that gel with each other. It's like being able to finish a sentence for someone. Personality mesh's are critical since many facets of our character needs to be cordial for complex business endeavors need to mature. Starting a new venture is almost impossible. There are too many areas that need to co...

Voyago AI

Image
There's been a lot of talk about Artificial Intel. lately. If your keeping up with big data, quantum computing, IofT, data lakes, cloud computing, etc... You've come across our desire to have computers operate on a level of human ability. This could be prompted by our lust for a robotic workforce we all see in movies. Scenes from I Robot or Star Wars makes our fascination for autonomous machinery a reality. Voyago envisions AI features redefining how we ship items all over the world. The fantasy nature of having a delivery robot would be amazing. But, in real terms the price of having a Terminator autonomous machine delivering packages may be too expensive and potentially dangerous. The most autonomous activity in practical terms can be used by integrating our online software. The ability to route packages with better decision making can save people time and money in many ways. Just think, today shipping company's have distribution hubs that scale the size of aren...

Insuring your Shipments

Image
Insurance, insurance, insurance! The costs of insurance is a necessary evil. We all hate paying insurance but when we get in sticky situations we are more than glad we had it. Voyago is working on developing an insurance option that will support your packages. This will be of great benefit since we never know what could happen. There are many benefits to having your items protected. Unlike the big name couriers who we've all heard of.. These courier company's charge crazy amounts of cash to get your cherished items from one place to another. Voyago is on a mission to change the nature of courier delivery. One area we find to be a killer on your pocketbook is the cost of insuring your goods. It may not seem much to pay a 2-3 dollar amount on each package you send. But if you think about it, that's crazy expensive for 1 package being sent somewhere. Let's say your company needs 1000 packages shipped per month. If you had to pay 3USD each time you shipped. That's ...
