Express

Delivering packages in the Verse can become a lengthy task when working on multiple contracts at the same time. Employees may find themselves asking questions such as:

Where should I go first?

How do I minimize the number of times I visit a location?

I have to travel to another planet? AGAIN!?

Express aims to answer these questions efficiently by providing the employee with a tool that centralizes all their active deliveries and calculates the most optimal delivery route. This significantly reduces the time spent by an employee making decisions and enhancing the experience of everyone involved:

  • The client sees their wait time reduced
  • The employee earns money faster
  • The employer observes an increase in consumer trust
