My guest today on The BossLady Speaks is Kevin Kviblad, CEO of Urb-It. Kevin’s out to disrupt the transportation industry-and more specifically what he calls̈thelast mile deliveries ̈.According to Kevin, they’re the ones delivered within your city, often by vans,causing unnecessary congestion and pollution. Kevin wants to offer̈ thesustainablesolution̈ to same-day deliveries in busy cities.Here’s how this company works: 1.An instant or scheduled delivery is requested. 2.Their ̈Urber ̈ community gets notified(this works much like Uber, or AirBnB, where regular citizens like yourself can sign up to provide the service only taxis, hotels and delivery companies have been offering to date.) 3.Thë Urber̈ picks-up a customerorder in-store (perhaps thë Urber̈had an errand to run tothat store anyway...?) 4.Thë Urber̈ delivers the products, anywhere, anytime at a time convenient to the customer(instead of you being asked to stay home between 9 AM–5 PM on a workday for a delivery.) 5.The customer provides feedback on ̈their ̈̈Urber̈ and the overall customer experience.
