Uber delivers an easier way to use its courier service

• gizmag.com

Now, its features can be built directly into a company's website or app.

This is possible following the public launch of the UberRUSH application programming interface (API), which was initially released into beta back in January. UberRUSH can still be used without technical integration, but the API offers a means of having it work with the company's existing systems and streamlining the delivery process. It also works with business platforms like Shopify and Clover for ease of set up.

Once a customer places an order, UberRUSH allows a company to schedule the delivery at a specific time so as to avoid bottlenecks during busy periods. An UberRUSH courier will collect the item when required and deliver it directly to the customer.

It's then possible for companies to track the location of the delivery in real-time on a map and, if they wish, provide a tracking link to the customer so that they too can keep an eye on where it's at. Customers are notified when their delivery is about to arrive and additional extra steps, like a requesting a signature confirmation or a return trip, can be added into the process as required.
