Launch BF: Getcho

TL;DR

Getcho is local delivery platform for high-value, mission-critical goods. The Getcho layer sits on top of the fleet layer -- sort of like how the TCP layer is built on top of UDP.

"UDP deliveries" (no need for Getcho)

  • Food -- customers tend to meet delivery drivers. Replacing lost food is usually inexpensive
  • "I forgot my keys, can you Uber them to me" and low-value deliveries between peers

"TCP deliveries" (great for Getcho)

  • Wine -- couriers are required to verify ID. Therefore, customer coordination is essential. Wine return rates without coordination are above 10%.
  • Local inventory flows -- showrooms receive $1,000+ merchandise from nearby warehouses several times a day. Getcho helps satellite locations manage stock.
  • $200+ payloads like glasses, candles, apparel and specialty items.
  • Gift delivery. We assure the unsuspecting giftee that yes, we do have the right address, and let the gifter know that the delivery was a success.
  • Rentals. Getcho provides identity verification and equipment return scheduling.
  • VIP buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPIS) deliveries. Like delivering cologne to a pitcher at Angel's Stadium.

The secret sauce

Getcho uses GPS, cargo value, historic deliveries, and communication patterns to derive a delivery risk score. High-risk deliveries receive special attention from Getcho's call center.

Custom AI workflows guide drivers: we transmit building descriptions, access protocol and cargo checks via text and calls.

About us

Evandro ("Dro") and Jack met on the first day of college. On the last day of college they started a software development firm which they ran for seven years. They built mapping software and an insurance call center system that was acquired.

Mike, Jack's brother, interned with Jack and Dro in college. He joined full-time after a stint at Epic Systems and tripled the company's output and revenue within a year.
