HERE WeGo Deliver allows businesses to plan and dispatch a delivery service without paying for software development or implementation costs

Spotted: The Amsterdam-based location data and technology platform HERE Technologies is offering SMEs a free tool to help implement their own simplified and efficient delivery service during the COVID-19 pandemic.

HERE WeGo Deliver will allow businesses to plan and dispatch a delivery service without paying for software development or implementation costs. Users simply have to upload their order destinations and the number of drivers to the platform, HERE WeGo Deliver then optimises each route and delivery sequence.

Drivers can receive their delivery route by email or on the free HERE WeGo mobile app to receive voice-enabled navigation.

“Businesses need our support. The lack of economic activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has particularly hurt retailers and restaurants that rely on foot traffic. At the same time, demand for delivery services has skyrocketed while small businesses face the challenges of keeping their employees working and access to limited digital infrastructure,” said Kirk Mitchell, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Americas at HERE Technologies.
