A solo courier struggles to find consistent delivery work beyond Amazon and the Bark app, and finds it difficult to grow the business or hire subcontractors.

Amazon offers limited, low-margin work, and Bark is not tailored for courier services, resulting in unreliable lead generation. The courier needs a platform that connects independent couriers directly with local businesses needing deliveries.
