ShipFast – Delivery App & Logistics Platform

ShipFast is designed for businesses that need efficient delivery and logistics management. It supports multiple drivers, route optimization, and real-time shipment tracking.

Key features

What ShipFast does, and why each part matters once you are running.

Courier & fleet management

Onboard couriers, see who is working and assign jobs. Whether they are employed or independent changes your costs more than any feature does.

Order & route optimization

Deliveries batched and sequenced sensibly rather than in the order they arrived, which is where the margin in last-mile actually comes from.

Real-time tracking

Senders and recipients follow the parcel instead of phoning to ask. In logistics this single feature removes most of your inbound support.

Proof of delivery

Signature or photo captured at handover. It ends the argument about whether a parcel arrived before the argument starts.

Payments & invoicing

Once-off payments for casual senders and invoicing for business accounts, because those two customers pay in completely different ways.

SEO-ready service pages

Route and area pages, so searches for courier services between the places you actually cover can find you.

How it works

A marketplace has more than one customer. Each side needs its own tools.

Couriers

Collect assigned jobs, follow the route and capture proof at the door. Their day should be obvious from the app without phoning the office.

Senders

Book a collection, track the parcel and pay — as a business on account or a one-off customer with a card.

You

Manage couriers and routes, price the work and invoice the accounts. Density is everything; a full vehicle on a short route is the whole business.

Who it's for

Same-day and local courier
Metro delivery where speed beats the national carriers' next-day promise.
Last-mile for online sellers
Shops that need reliable local delivery and cannot get it from the big couriers.
Regional routes
Connecting towns the national networks serve slowly or route through a hub.
Existing courier businesses
Operators running on WhatsApp and spreadsheets who need tracking and proof of delivery.

And who it isn't

If your volumes do not fill a vehicle, the economics do not work yet regardless of the software. Build the sender relationships before you build the platform.

Built for South Africa

What ShipFast handles that an offshore script has to be talked into.

Local payment gateways
PayFast, Peach Payments and Ozow — cards, instant EFT and the methods South African buyers already trust at checkout.
Priced and invoiced in rands
One-off price, paid in ZAR, invoiced locally. No currency conversion and no exchange-rate movement between quote and payment.
Your data stays on your infrastructure
Self-hosted, so you can answer where customer data lives, who reaches it and how long you keep it — the questions POPIA actually asks.
Support in your working hours
Based in Pretoria. When something breaks at 09:00 SAST, you are not waiting for an overseas support desk to wake up.
Courier options that exist here
Built with The Courier Guy, RAM and Pargo pickup points in mind rather than carriers that do not operate in South Africa.

What's not included

Worth knowing before you buy, not after.

  • Hosting and your domain. Installation on your server is free; the hosting account is yours.
  • Your payment gateway account, and the per-transaction fee it charges you.
  • Product photography, vendor onboarding and the words on your pages.
  • Marketing and customer acquisition — included only on the Custom plan.
  • Source code on Lite, Pro and Pro + Apps. Custom includes it; mobile app source is R39,000 as an add-on.
  • Support beyond your included period, which continues at R6,900 a year.
  • Apple and Google developer accounts for the mobile apps — roughly R1,800 a year and a once-off R450, paid to them directly.

None of this is unusual for self-hosted software. We list it because the alternative is finding out on a call.
