Parcelpoint

The problem

A third of home deliveries fail on the first attempt because nobody is in, and every repeat trip costs the courier more than the delivery fee.

The solution

Parcelpoint turns neighbourhood shops into pick-up points: couriers drop many parcels in one stop and shoppers collect on their way home.

Who it's for

Courier companies and online shops delivering in dense cities.

Market

Bottom-up: about 75,000 customers like this in Egypt and nearby, worth roughly $160 million a year at our prices.

Competition and edge

Headline metric

58,000 active users, growing 18% a month

The team

Nour knows the customer and has sold to them before; Karim has built this kind of system at scale. We have worked side by side since before Parcelpoint had a name.

Worked together

More than 3 years

Hiring

A senior engineer and our first customer-success hire.
