Delivery cost

Delivered on time. Almost nothing kept.

Your riders deliver, your customers pay, and the month still ends thin. We follow one successful delivery from what it earns you to what you keep, and show you which costs to change first.

Where one delivery's money goes

A sample successful delivery: a rider takes it out, finds the door and hands it over. Every figure is a sample. Yours come from your own files.

You against par

Four numbers, one each

Each stage a delivery passes through has one number that tells you how it is doing. A sample operator, read the way we read you.

Sample

  1. Rider

    Orders per rider hour

    YOU 2.1PAR 2.8

    Between peaks your riders stand still on your payroll. Those hours sit inside the cost of every drop.

  2. Attempt

    First-attempt success

    YOU 81%PAR 92%

    Each failed first attempt sends a rider back for a second drop you are paid for once. You carry the cost of the trip that failed.

  3. Zone

    Cost per drop in your farthest zone, BD

    YOU 1.450PAR 0.980

    Your far zones cost more per drop than your fee says. The average hides the zone that loses you money.

  4. Route

    Drops per route

    YOU 24PAR 32

    A route that leaves with too few drops costs you the same as a full one. You pay fuel and wages by the route.

Signs

You will know these

  • Your cost per drop is one number and your zones disagree with it.
  • Failed first attempts vanish into the average.
  • Your riders wait between peaks and you pay them for it.
  • Your free-delivery threshold was set years ago and your costs have moved.
What we do

Four moves on one delivery

Price

We price the drop zone by zone

Your ledger and your dispatch records go into one model. You see what a successful delivery costs you in each zone, by vehicle and by provider.

Hours

We lift the orders per rider hour

We read your peaks and your idle time together. Your riders carry more drops in the hours you already pay for.

Attempt

We cut the failed first attempts

Each failed drop is costed on its own, and we find where the failures cluster. You fix the few streets, times and customers behind most of them.

Fee

We reset your fees and thresholds

Delivery fees, minimum baskets and free-delivery levels are tested against the real cost of each zone. You set them on the zone, not on the average.

What you get

On your desk

  • The cost of one successful delivery, by zone, vehicle and provider.
  • Every zone ranked by what it keeps for you.
  • What each failed first attempt costs you, and where they cluster.
  • Owned, leased and outsourced capacity compared at your volumes.
  • A pricing paper on your fees, minimum baskets and free-delivery levels.
Questions

What owners ask us

How much does one delivery cost me?
It depends on the zone. We build the cost from your own ledger and dispatch records, so you see the cost of one successful delivery in each zone instead of one blended figure.
What do I send you?
One month of dispatch records, your rider and fleet costs and your delivery invoices. We tell you which zones we price first.
Can I start with a calculator?
Yes. Run our delivery cost calculator on one month of your figures, and we break the result down by zone.
Is this an operations project or a finance project?
It is a finance question answered with operating data. We build the cost in your ledger and hand your operations team a list of changes with their money value beside each.
Why us

We price the drop

Our founder set the money logic behind a last-mile fleet of about 1,000 vehicles at BaladiMart, part of Al Baladi Group. We read your network drop by drop, by what each one costs you and what it earns you.
