Collaborative projects are taking a great dimension thanks to the network of networks and those tools that we have such as smartphones and tablets that allow us to unite a huge number of people around a service that work in unison to offer capabilities that were almost impossible to look at before. Uber, although it has received thousands of criticisms, is one of the examples in which normal people lend themselves to take others with their private cars. Or even BlaBlaCar, which allows traveling to be cheaper when we take advantage of a vehicle to take others and thus share expenses.
Glovo approaches collaborative work so that, from the same city or town, a user called "Glover" can bring someone else a product for a fixed fee € 4,90 plus the price of the product in case of purchase. This is the main idea of this application and that in November of last year Google gave it the award for mobile innovation start-ups, a recognition of this initiative that closed 2015 exceeding its billing expectations by 30%. It is in the last month when it launched a new version that brings obvious improvements and that I will detail.
But how does Glovo work?
The application allows users and independent messengers to interact easily and quickly. From the client side a product is chosen from one of the 5 categories and the independent messengers will try to take it to your house, as if they are simple keys or a purse. It is like a kind of parcel, courier and logistics transport service in which the users of the network themselves can become independent couriers or users who receive the products or services.
For this reason, it is the independent messengers or glovers who They play a leading role in Glovo by helping with their free time to other people who don't have that much time. What they get in return is extra income and the commission percentage can increase depending on the valuation they obtain in the app for their services provided. The trust they generate and their good work are a basic aspect for Glovo to function fully.
If you read these lines and you are interested in the idea of being a glover, you only need a smartphone, your own vehicle and a good disposition to get all kinds of products to users. That said, these messengers register as independent workers in the Public Administration and declare their income at the end of the year on their income tax return.
What about the products that I can order at Glovo?
Glovo adapts to the needs of users as well as those of offices, e-commerce businesses and premises. Can be ordered from food orders, gifts, over-the-counter medications medical, sending documents, accessories and tobacco. The limit of what they can do is really set by the imagination of the users, such as picking up tickets for the Champions League final, buying AVE tickets or picking up the gym bag.
With regard to security, Globo has merchandise insurance that covers any type of incident up to 2.000 euros. Other virtues is that it is possible locate and track the order throughout the project and finally assess the work done by the messenger. According to these evaluations they can get a higher or lower percentage.
Payment of the service it is done with a debit or credit card from the application and the service guarantees that the delivery period is less than 60 minutes.
La app
The Android app takes you through a few simple login steps to be able to use Facebook credentials. After this step, you can enter your phone number and access the city of your choice.
The next thing is to choose between five categories: pharmacy, electronics, food, restaurant and grocery stores. You can also choose a custom order from the magic wand to finally move on to the glover option. It moves perfectly and focuses on the essentials of the application with a good Material Design type design.
In short, a great idea as app and service that you will surely meet their criticism as has happened with others like Uber or BlaBlaCar.
