In June 10th, Uber, the largest mobile car company of the world's largest, announced that the UberRush (third party express service) interface (API) ended the test period and would be open to all companies and developers.

In related mobile software, service providers can directly integrate the express service of Uber, and Uber drivers can not only "pull people" but also deliver them. In September 25th last year, Dida executives accepted an exclusive interview with WeChat (cn156news) executives, saying that the future would not rule out such markets as express delivery and logistics.

Uber Rush how to play the package express?

(1) Uber's public package express service: in April 2014, Uber formally launched the public package express service Uber RUSH, providing Uber Rush for delivery service provided by manpower or bicycles in Manhattan, New York, usually within an hour, between $15 and $30 based on distance.

In a nutshell, if you are in the five areas delimited by Uber, you can call the express like Uber called a car, and the driver of the Uber, called the Messenger here, will pick up the piece and send it to your designated position.

Unlike Uber's past services, Messenger is not a driver. They may ride a bike or walk. Users can see the estimated time of arrival of the Messenger pick up on the Uber, or check the location of their items at any time. As of October 2015, the service has covered three cities in New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

Consumer how to use Uber express delivery: the specific use of the method is like calling a car - Open Uber software to select UberRush, locate or mark a location for yourself, Uber tell you how long the "messenger" will come to pick up the piece, and then you can move according to the Uber software.

But Uber points out that because "messenger" may be walking or riding a bicycle, it is expected that the arrival time is not necessarily accurate; if the "messenger" does not have a signal on the subway, it will also affect the expected time of arrival or the tracking of the location of the item.

Express new species here! Uber is also sent to express delivery

Uber Rush delivers express and takeout, send back...

(Uber) new logistics development: in January 29, 2016, Uber opened UberRUSH API to third party businesses in order to further expand this service. This means that express service is standardized, and external companies, especially those with APP, only need to use this interface to directly purchase the express service of Uber and realize the purpose of fast delivery of goods and goods.

As a result, other retailers or external logistics companies can only use several lines of code in their products, so they can directly use the express service of UberRUSH.

At present, there are many businesses APP, integrated with Uber express service, such as pizza takeout service software Pythagoras, door-to-door dry cleaning service tool Dryv, takeout service Ando and Mealmade, in addition to the unmanned aircraft rental service provider Up Sponder and so on.

Uber ambition is to compete with Google. The action of Uber highlights its ambition. It not only hopes to occupy a dominant position in the field of people's travel, but also wants to have a place in the express industry.

Many of the retail businesses in the United States are third party express, such as Amazon and Google's express service, and now Uber has joined the competition in the market.

Dare to eat with FedEx and other courier giants

(1) from FedEx: according to Uber CEO, Uber hopes to build a part of a "urban logistics network" program in urban areas covered by UberRush and UberEats services. Meanwhile, Uber said the plan is to recruit more than 200 thousand drivers to participate in the city's parcel delivery service.

In this way, Uber can indeed take part of orders from FedEx. But UberRush has launched a courier service based on smart phones as a liaison carrier, with emphasis on small, fast and service delivery types. This is only a small part of FedEx's business.

Uber express drivers go from A in the same town to B, limited to a smaller geographic area, more suitable for delivering some like flowers, Starbucks, takeout, or a book from Amazon, which are more difficult to threaten a large logistics center and efficient and fast center radiant logistics network.  FedEx.

It is true that the UberRush agitate is unlikely to depress the traditional logistics giant, or to have a substantial impact in the short term, but its express service is no doubt subversive.

Comparison of domestic express: at present, the development of traditional express base in China is relatively stable, and the momentum of SF and Tongda is relatively fierce. Since the wind of the shared economy has been blowing around the world, the Uber express business has been on the rise.

For Jingdong, Jingdong crowdsourcing, tough backstage is an insurmountable obstacle to the expansion of Uber express business. Although Uber takes the shared economic model as a breakthrough point, the idea of exploring a broader service model and business sector is in line with the development of the times. However, as far as the present development situation of the express industry is concerned, it is necessary to make full use of its own advantages to make effective solutions to the problems arising from the new business. Break through the bottleneck and pry the express market.
