Read full description

Vela is a Philadelphia-focused courier dispatch platform that connects local merchants with independent couriers for real-world, point-to-point deliveries. Merchants can enter pickup and drop-off addresses, select the required vehicle type, review an upfront route price, and request a courier. Delivery progress can be followed from assignment through pickup and drop-off, with status updates and proof-of-delivery records. Couriers can review available delivery offers before accepting them. Each offer displays the pickup and drop-off route, estimated distance, vehicle requirement, and courier payout. Couriers can confirm pickup, update delivery status, capture photo proof of delivery, and review completed jobs and payout records. Features include: • Upfront route pricing before dispatch • On-demand and scheduled delivery requests • Clear pickup and drop-off instructions • Available delivery offers with route and payout details • Vehicle-specific delivery requirements • Courier job acceptance and status updates • Live delivery tracking and progress information • Photo proof of delivery • Completed delivery history • Courier earnings and payout records • Secure card payments through Stripe • Secure courier payout account connection through Stripe Connect • Support for merchant, courier, and delivery-management workflows Vela is designed for bakeries, florists, caterers, retailers, makers, and other local businesses that need a straightforward way to coordinate physical deliveries. Delivery availability, courier access, service areas, and pricing may vary. Courier applications are subject to identity, vehicle, eligibility, and operational review. Vela does not guarantee job availability, minimum earnings, or a specific delivery schedule.
