senden24 – 1 hour delivery marketplace MVP development

senden24 is an instant delivery service in the last mile 1-hour delivery business. It is free for shoppers who can purchase goods in local stores. They get all their bargains as soon as they arrive home. Our senden24 story is a three-sided marketplace development project in a nutshell. The senden24 service delivers for customers from shops with different delivery service providers be it a courier on a bike, taxi or expresses delivery companies. senden24 drops the price of delivery by aggregating multiple deliveries into one job.

Our contributions

We helped to create a minimal viable product to start operations in Berlin, Germany. With the client, we managed to develop senden24 product including promo website, android mobile app for courier, delivery service order web form for shops, and platform administration backend, with the modest budget in 2 months time. After MVP marketplace development extra job was to get out JavaScript game to celebrate Easter and to support marketing efforts.

Promo website

At the stage of MVP development for market validation, senden24 has had minimalist one-page promo site. The promo site has featured the logo, hero image, slogan and few possibilities:

• Subscribe to newsletter
• User form to recommend store
• User form to register your store as partner

Immediately after MVP development phase, we ran a short development cycle to add few pages to promo site:

• Interactive storytelling page to explain how send24 works
• Pricing page that only states that service is always free for shoppers
• Team page featuring onsite and our team

Delivery service order form

senden24 is a three-sided marketplace. The platform serves a shopper, a courier, and a shop. For shops, senden24 has to offer quite advanced digital experience. However, for market validation delivery dispatch order form was enough. Thus only this functionality for shops was in the scope of Ruby on Rails MVP development.

Android mobile app for courier

Shops get more shoppers and sales. Shoppers get free 1-hour delivery. What do couriers get? They get jobs! To make their work easier we developed Android mobile app where they can take jobs optimizing routes on the map, the number of orders served, shopping bags, delivery origin, and target locations to make the best income with senden24.

HTML5 JavaScript Easter Game

We created HTML5 catcher trivia game to celebrate Easter and help senden24 to spread the word about their service in social networks. In addition to the game itself, it has tournament table backend.
