What Skipcart does

Skipcart is a Texas-based, venture-backed on-demand and last-mile delivery platform operating in the United States under the legal entity Skipcart Delivery LLC. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Irving, TX, the company aggregates a crowdsourced driver network alongside partner-carrier capacity, which it markets as totaling 2.3 million couriers covering 98% of the US. It primarily serves two customer tiers: SMBs and individuals using the self-serve Skipcart Express product to dispatch on-demand deliveries within a 45-minute window, and enterprises that white-label the Skipcart fleet as the logistics backbone for their own customer-facing delivery programs — notably 7-Eleven's 7NOW convenience delivery offering, for which Skipcart is the named white-label provider.

The platform's core architecture is a RESTful Delivery API (documented at skipcartapi.readme.io) that supports direct enterprise integration as well as indirect SMB distribution through middleware partners OLO, Bringg, and Zuppler, plus a Shopify storefront app via the Zapiet plug-in. Functional features include live GPS tracking, proxy-number driver/customer communication, route optimization, instant driver payouts via Stripe, and driver engagement tooling (Hot Spots, Driver Tiers, Acceptance/Completion Rate metrics). Supporting product brands are Skipcart Express (direct booking), DeliverB4 (self-delivery cost-saving service for merchants), Skipcart Direct (direct-order fulfillment), Catering, PickUp, and the Skipcart Drivers app on iOS and Android.

Skipcart's revenue model is primarily transactional: per-order flat fees for enterprise white-label deployments (with quote-based enterprise contracts invoiced monthly), unit pricing for Express deliveries starting at $6.99 for 0–3 miles plus $1/mile up to 15 miles, and a recurring $29/month Shopify/Zapiet add-on fee. Channel strategy combines a self-serve PLG motion (Skipcart Express), direct enterprise sales (Partner Program), embedded/marketplace distribution (Shopify, 7NOW), and channel/reseller integrations (OLO, Bringg, Zuppler). Across its footprint, Skipcart names United Supermarkets, 7-Eleven, and a long tail of more than 1,000 restaurant, retail, grocery, and convenience-store partners as customers, with 30-minute average delivery times as the headline operational metric.

Its two main commercial offerings are Skipcart Express for direct SMB/individual bookings (self-serve, per-delivery pricing) and the Enterprise Partner Program that delivers white-label delivery fleet logistics to national brands via per-order flat fees and a RESTful API. The platform supports industry-agnostic delivery across food, grocery, retail, pharmaceutical, automotive, electronics, and catering with an average 30-minute delivery time.

Direct peers

• DoorDash: DoorDash operates the largest US on-demand delivery marketplace and competes directly with Skipcart across restaurant, grocery, and convenience delivery. Particularly direct overlap via DoorDash Drive, its white-label arm which mirrors Skipcart's Enterprise Partner Program model.
• Shipsi: Shipsi is a same-day on-demand delivery platform offering crowdsourced local delivery to retailers and brands via API and integrations. Closest direct peer to Skipcart by business model, target market (mid-market and enterprise merchants), and API-first delivery.
• Roadie: Roadie operates a crowdsourced delivery network using en-route drivers for same-day delivery, BOPIS, and returns. Comparable to Skipcart's crowdsourced model, large driver network, and emphasis on enterprise and retail customer segments.
• Uber Direct: Uber Direct is Uber's white-label last-mile delivery product for retailers and restaurants, leveraging the Uber/Rider network. Directly parallels Skipcart's Enterprise Partner Program and competes for the same enterprise logos.
• Gopuff: Gopuff runs an instant-needs delivery platform for convenience and grocery items via owned micro-fulfillment centers. Overlaps with Skipcart on convenience delivery (Skipcart powers 7NOW) and same-day/on-demand customer expectations.
• Instacart: Instacart is a leading on-demand grocery delivery platform using crowdsourced shoppers. Direct competitor in Skipcart's grocery vertical (United Supermarkets) and shares the broader crowdsourced last-mile operating model.
• Shipt: Shipt provides same-day delivery of groceries and essentials via crowdsourced shoppers, with a strong enterprise and retailer partnership motion. Comparable to Skipcart on crowdsourced supply, grocery focus, and B2B2C delivery model.
• DoorDash Drive: DoorDash Drive is the white-label arm of DoorDash, offering fulfillment-as-a-service to retailers and restaurants via API. The closest direct analogue to Skipcart's Enterprise Partner Program and the most material competitive threat on enterprise deals.

Others

• Bringg: Bringg is a delivery orchestration and management platform used by enterprises to manage their own fleets and third-party carriers. Skipcart integrates with Bringg as a fulfillment partner, making it both a complementary ecosystem player and a partial competitive substitute for Skipcart's white-label offering.

Broad incumbents

• DispatchTrack: DispatchTrack provides last-mile delivery management software for large enterprises across retail, grocery, and logistics. Comparable to Skipcart at the enterprise orchestration layer and competes for the same large-retailer IT budget.
