Xpreso connects couriers and consumers in real-time to decrease failed delivery attempts, improve courier efficiency, and provide a 'Hailo'-style delivery experience for online shoppers. Xpreso were one of 8 companies in Europe chosen for the Mastercard Startpath partnership programme in July 2014.If the precise time window you receive in the morning of your parcel delivery is not convenient we offer dynamic re-routing of parcels to parcel lockers, neighbours, local shops, workplaces and even your car boot if your car is parked on that courier's route.Our team combines top graduates from Irish universities, 30 years' experience in the courier industry, 100 years' experience in demanding technical roles at companies such as Oracle and Two Way TV, and a multi-cultural staff from ten different countries. We mainly code in native android and PHP (Laravel) and are tackling complex problems involving geocoding, routing and arrival time estimation. Our end goal is complete supply chain transparency for end consumers e.g.:'Order in the next 25 minutes to receive your ASOS basket tomorrow between 9-10am at your work address by Nightline driver Ronan, 2-3pm at your home address by Nightline driver Stephen, or 7am at the parcel locker on your route to work.'
