Why Courier Companies Use DrivenPeople for Drivers

DrivenPeople: your perfect courier driver solution

For same-day courier services, time is everything. Success in this space depends on having quick, reliable access to local, vetted drivers who can deliver efficiently. However, traditional recruitment agencies often make this process slow, expensive, and cumbersome. Enter DrivenPeople—a game-changing platform built to revolutionise how companies engage with drivers. Here's why DrivenPeople is the perfect solution for same-day courier companies in the UK.

Instant Access to Pre-Vetted Drivers

With DrivenPeople, you get access to a pool of pre-vetted, fully compliant local drivers. This means you no longer have to waste time vetting, interviewing, or chasing up drivers. All drivers on the platform are ready to start work and come with a star-rating system from previous jobs, so you know exactly what kind of performance to expect. For same-day courier services, this speed and transparency are vital.

Automated Job Matching

Our platform and driver app utilise intelligent matching technology to connect jobs with the most suitable and available local drivers instantly. No more waiting around or manually coordinating schedules. DrivenPeople does the hard work for you, auto-matching drivers based on their location, availability, and past performance. This efficiency helps same-day couriers stay on top of demand, ensuring timely deliveries and happy customers.

Cost-Effective Fixed Charge Rate

Traditional agencies can charge upwards of 20-30% for placing drivers, with added layers of complexity and middlemen. At DrivenPeople, we operate on a fixed 10% charge rate, which is 50% cheaper than the standard industry rates. Our lower overheads and digital platform allow us to provide a seamless, affordable service without cutting corners. This means you get the drivers you need at a fraction of the cost, enabling you to grow your margins while maintaining quality service.

Digital, Efficient and Transparent

DrivenPeople is a fully digital platform, which means it operates without the inefficiencies of traditional agencies. No paperwork, no back-and-forth phone calls—just a smooth, streamlined experience. All interactions, from posting a job to booking a driver, happen in real-time through our platform. As a courier company, this allows you to focus on what matters most: getting deliveries done on time and growing your business.

Star-Rating System for Quality Control

One of the biggest challenges for courier companies is ensuring drivers consistently perform at a high level. With DrivenPeople, all drivers have a star-rating from previous jobs. This system empowers you to choose drivers based on past performance, giving you control and ensuring a high standard of service. If a driver has been consistently reliable, you'll see it. If there have been issues, you'll know before assigning them a job.

Scale Your Workforce Easily

During peak times, courier companies often struggle to scale their driver workforce to meet demand. With DrivenPeople, you can easily scale up by accessing our pool of local drivers without the hassle of long-term contracts or recruitment delays. Whether it's a busy holiday season or just an unusually high-demand day, our platform allows you to flexibly increase your driver capacity.

Real-Time Communication

Once you’ve booked a driver, communication is key to ensuring a smooth delivery. DrivenPeople’s platform includes real-time communication features, allowing you to stay in touch with drivers and manage any last-minute changes efficiently. Whether it’s route updates, customer instructions, or delivery confirmations, everything is streamlined through the app.

Same-day courier services require speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness to stay competitive. DrivenPeople provides a fully digital, affordable, and efficient solution by directly linking you to a network of vetted, star-rated local drivers. With automated job matching, a fixed 10% charge rate, and the ability to scale quickly, DrivenPeople is the ultimate platform to help courier companies succeed in the UK’s fast-paced market. 

Don’t let traditional agencies slow you down—choose DrivenPeople and watch your business grow.
