Skoot

Description

Skoot is an on-demand mobility service aiming to provide clients with a means for moving packages from one location to another. Using a cloud-based web application, clients are connected with nearby drivers in real-time, with the app generating fares and service costs which – when accepted by the client – sends a notification to the driver closest to them.

Founder and student Xolani Kumalo sees the service as the ‘last mile’ of the a package-moving or delivery service, with the value proposition driving the venture based upon its uniqueness and a simple payment programme (as customers pay according to distance travelled and Skoot – as provider – charging a commission on the services rendered).
