How a business account works
As simple, or as connected, as you want it
Most businesses book on the site exactly the way anyone else does — the difference is that nobody reaches for a card and it all lands on one monthly invoice. If you would rather your own system did the booking, ours can talk to it. Nothing here needs a developer to get started.
No card at checkout
Your team books the same way anyone else does, minus the payment step. It goes on your account instead, and you settle one invoice at the end of the month.
Everything in one place
Every job, every driver and every proof of delivery on one screen. Whoever picks up the phone can say where an order is without ringing us first.
An API, only if you want one
Already running an online store or your own system? We can connect to it so orders come through on their own. Completely optional — nothing else here depends on it.
Regular runs, agreed rates and a vehicle held for your busy days all get set up with you — whether you send two deliveries a week or two hundred. A demo takes twenty minutes.
