- • Predictive demand and routing models that forecast driver availability and optimise job allocation before a customer even books
- • LLM-powered tooling across our internal and customer-facing products, from intelligent quoting to driver workflow automation
- • A two-sided marketplace where drivers can buy and sell jobs to maximise utilisation — powered by smart matching algorithms
