Hytchers

[Discontinued] Hytchers is a Belgian startup that offers sustainable parcel delivery solutions. Making use of the existing trips of a wide community of drivers, Hytchers is able to transport a large number of parcels without emitting any additional CO2. Based on the drivers’ daily commutes, driving patterns and calendar events, Hytchers can identify the driverswho are best suited to deliver parcels. Through various communication channels (push notifications, emails,...), Hytchers then provides them with the most effective routes. Hytchers’ Algorithm is unique as it combines multiple optimized commuting routes to transport packages. This is why a parcel might have stopped at various distribution-points of the network before reaching its final destination. By using existing traffic flows, Hytchers avoids creating additional traffic to transport parcels and, by doing so, avoids the C02 footprint of traditional couriers. And, in Hytchers’ quest for sustainable transport, Hytchers also offsets the carbon emitted by every transportation by investing in ecological projects. This guarantees that the transportation of a Hytchers parcel is 100% CO2 neutral.
