Routag is a peer-to-peer delivery platform that connects senders with everyday people and trusted businesses who are already traveling along a route. The app enables users to post packages, negotiate prices, and track deliveries in real-time, with a built-in wallet for secure payments. Couriers can earn $10-30 per delivery by integrating package pickups into their existing travel plans.

Problem
Traditional courier services are often expensive, slow, and inconvenient for last-mile deliveries, especially in regions with underdeveloped logistics infrastructure. Senders lack affordable options for moving packages, while individuals and businesses with available transport capacity have no simple way to monetize their existing travel routes.
Solution
Routag connects senders directly with couriers—everyday people and businesses already traveling along a route—to facilitate faster and cheaper package deliveries. Senders post package requests with details, photos, and desired pricing, then get matched with couriers heading their way. Both parties negotiate the delivery fee directly through the app, with the sender confirming pickup and tracking progress in real-time on a live map. The platform includes in-app messaging for coordination, a wallet system for secure payments and withdrawals, and identity verification to build trust. An optional protection plan covers high-value items, providing an additional safety layer for both parties.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals who need affordable package delivery, everyday people seeking flexible side income by delivering along their commute, and small to medium-sized businesses that want to manage fleets or handle deliveries without building their own logistics infrastructure.
