Cape Town - A new courier service based on an Uber-for-documents model is launching in Cape Town and may spread to other cities.
Picup, which launches on Thursday, aims to disrupt traditional courier services by offering near instant delivery of documents and small parcels.
The service will operate exclusively on the WeChat social networking platform.
"Customers value their time, they're demanding immediacy, efficiency and simplicity and this is exactly what Picup aims to achieve by letting customers order a licensed, verified and fully trained professional driver directly from WeChat seamlessly - no paperwork, no confusion, no problem," said Grant Isaacs, Chief Picup Officer.
Once users have registered on the service after downloading WeChat, it's a matter of entering the details of the delivery. The company then promises efficient service throughout the Cape Metro.
