Who We Are
We, the founders of ZIPUPP, are international students who have worked in several different branches of the transport industry. Having learned through experience that in transport planning is everything, we also learned that good planning can save both time and valuable resources. We found that currently, it is difficult for people to find transportation easily and at an affordable cost. Simultaneously, we noticed the vast amount of vehicles driving unloaded.
In order to solve these two problems at once, we decided to combine what we learned at university and in the transport industry. We know that contributing to environmental sustainability is more important than ever and with ZipUpp, an innovative platform that enables users to find transport easier and more affordable than ever while minimizing empty driving, we are able to provide a revolutionary application that does to material transport what the Internet did to communication.
Our Vision & Our Mission
Instant Connection, Sustainable Digitalization
Our vision is to update the material transport industry to the demands of the 21st century. The key to this is instantaneous connection between the customer who requires transport, and the supplier of the transport. Nowadays, services must be instantly accessible via smartphone; we want to bring this feature to the world of material transport.
We want to create a platform where small businesses, who may otherwise struggle to gain visibility, are able to access the market and provide services that adhere to a high-quality standard, yet are low-cost and environmentally sustainable. ZIPUPP creates a framework where big and small transport businesses and customers are able to find each other instantly and transact in a way that is safe, formal and sustainable for all parties. By doing so, we promote Global Citizenship and contribute to the process of Digitalization, while fighting the informal economy with its negative impacts.
In the world of material transport, the lack of an instant digital connection between customers and suppliers leads to imperfect and flawed planning, which in turn leads to a waste of time and resources – empty driving. Empty driving leads to negative effects, such as wasted fuel and the untimely decay of roads and vehicles, and is overall unprofitable for the world. Our vision includes minimizing empty driving. By doing so, we are able to make cities more resilient and sustainable, combat climate change, spur sustainable consumption patterns and promote well-being.
