Types of On-demand Delivery Apps
There are mainly three types of On-demand delivery apps in the market, and most of the on-demand apps are from those three types. It includes Enterprise to Person, Enterprise to Enterprise, and Person to Person. Let’s see what are those types in detail.
Enterprise to Person
Enterprises generally create an on-demand app to serve its customers through the app. An Enterprise-to-Person type of on-demand app provides products or services of an Enterprise to individuals, as the name suggests. Most food delivery apps are Enterprise to Person models. For example, UberEats, GrubHub, Foodpanda, Zomato, etc. Another non-food delivery E2P on-demand app example is UrbanCompany which provides salon services at your home.
So, Enterprises or Businesses who want to serve its products or services to their customers on-the-go, develop an on-demand application that allows them to do so.
Enterprise to Enterprise
This kind of on-demand application serves businesses. Businesses need suppliers, service providers, etc. to run their business operations. An enterprise that serves other enterprises through an on-demand app is the example of Enterprise to Enterprise kind of application. We can take an example of a logistics partner that serves eCommerce industries with shipping. At the end of the day, eCommerce companies need to dispatch all the orders they have received, and to fulfill those orders, eCommerce companies generate a request to the logistics partner, and the logistics partner shows up at their warehouse to collect all the orders.
So, this E2E kind of on-demand app serves other businesses to complete their business operations. An example of an E2E kind of on-demand app is FedEx, DHL that serves a lot of Enterprises.
Person to Person
Person to Person on-demand application enables transactions between end-to-end consumers. OLX and Quikr are great examples of Person-to-Person Applications. This type of on-demand application is developed by Enterprises to enable second-hand selling between end-customers. An enterprise earns by putting ads into the app or by putting in-app purchases.
Second-hand cars, bikes, electronics items, books, and other such products are generally listed on P2P applications, and buyers and sellers meet at a safe place to finalize the deal.
