Where a courier day goes wrong

Four things that cost a delivery company merchants, fines or cash.

How one parcel moves

From the merchant’s system to the merchant’s statement, nobody retypes it.

Real screens

What your merchants, customers and dispatchers see.

Captured from our own running copy with invented sample data. Names and numbers are not real customers.

  1. “Merchants call us all day to ask where their orders are.”

    A portal for every merchant

    Each merchant logs in to its own portal to book orders, follow each one on the map, see proof of delivery and download invoices. Your coordinators stop being a call centre.

  2. “Riders call for the location, then forget to mark the parcel delivered.”

    The rider’s whole day on one phone

    The rider sees today’s orders with the stops left, distance and time, opens one to navigate, and marks it done. When an order needs proof, the app asks for the photo or signature before it can be closed.

    Riders, shift supervisors

    Driver app: stops in order, navigation, and no closing an order without proof.
  3. “The rider calls the customer for a pin, then calls again.”

    A tracking link for the customer

    The customer opens one link and sees the order’s status and the rider’s route on a map with Arabic street names. Sent by SMS or WhatsApp once we connect your account during setup.

What is ready today, and what we add during setup.

What it costs

Per rider, in riyals, falling as you grow.

SAR 119 per rider for the first 10, 59 for riders 11 to 50, 45 for 51 to 200 and 35 above that. A 140-rider company pays 10 × 119 + 40 × 59 + 90 × 45 = SAR 7,600 a month on the shared option. Your own copy in Jeddah or Riyadh is twice the rider price. No per-order fees, and dispatchers, merchants and finance users are free. Price your own fleet on the Dispatch page.

FAQ

What courier owners ask first.

Does it make us compliant with TGA?
No, and nobody’s software can. It replaces manual dispatching with automatic assignment by district and keeps a register of riders, vehicles and every status change with the time. Your licences stay with you and TGA.
Can our data stay in the Kingdom?
Yes. Your own copy runs in Jeddah or Riyadh, or on your own servers. The shared option runs in the UAE.
Can merchants send orders without retyping?
Yes. Merchants send orders by API, upload their Excel file in their portal, or connect Salla or Zid during setup.
Can we settle cash on delivery per merchant?
Yes. Each order records how it was paid, so totals per merchant and per rider come from the day’s orders, with the photo and time behind each one.
Do HungerStation or Keeta orders come in too?
No. Platform orders stay in the platform’s own app. Mindcat Dispatch runs your direct merchants and your own deliveries, and the same riders can work both.
What counts as a rider?
Anyone who uses the driver app to take jobs in a month. Dispatchers, merchants and finance users are free.

The honest no: if the work is a software factory with a named delivery date, we are the wrong partner.
