Exclusive: Sendr delivers SA’s next big courier startup

South African-based startup Sendr wants to deliver your packages in a flash. Its on-demand service means parcels can be delivered in an hour.

“We’re an Uber of parcels, documents and small items. We see ourselves as a personal concierge service,” says co-founder and CEO of Sendr, Neo Lekgabo (pictured above centre).

Sendr is based around a delivery app. The customer books a collection and the company handles the rest, including insurance for all items that are transported. Where this startup stands out from the rest is its utilisation of a one-time password (OTP) system. In order for any delivery to take place, the recipient needs to show the OTP to the driver. This not only eliminates potential security risks, such as delivering to the wrong person, but also adds a little bit of personal touch.
