Urbaner

What Urbaner does

Urbaner is a Lima, Peru-based on-demand urban logistics platform founded in 2015 that connects businesses with a network of independent couriers for last-mile deliveries. The company's core offering covers three service tiers — Express (immediate), Sameday, and Nextday — plus scheduled deliveries, targeting businesses that want to outsource urban fulfillment rather than operate their own fleets. The underlying platform comprises a web-based shipment management console, a mobile app for couriers, a real-time tracking and digital delivery confirmation protocol, and an API ("Para Desarrolladores") for businesses to integrate Urbaner directly into e-commerce, ERP, or order management systems.

The platform's technical architecture is built around API-first interoperability: businesses can automate shipment creation, monitor deliveries in real time, and receive digital proof-of-delivery notifications without manual intervention. Courier-side supply is sourced through an open recruitment flow ("Conviértete en Courier"), creating a two-sided marketplace between business demand and operator supply. No AI/ML, proprietary routing models, or data flywheel mechanics are disclosed in available material.

Urbaner monetizes via transaction fees on each delivery; specific pricing is quote-based for business accounts and is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is multi-channel: self-serve website registration for mid-market, app-based onboarding for SMBs/individuals, and direct API integration for enterprise clients. Geographic scope appears regional (Peru), with the only disclosed funding being a $40,000 Start-Up Chile grant in May 2018. Customer logos, partnerships, awards, and revenue figures are not disclosed in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Rappi: Rappi is a Latin American super-app offering on-demand delivery (including courier and parcels), restaurant food, and banking across Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and other countries. It directly competes with Urbaner in Lima's on-demand urban delivery market but operates a much broader service portfolio and at significantly greater scale with deep venture funding.
• PedidosYa: PedidosYa is a leading on-demand delivery platform in Latin America, owned by Delivery Hero, operating across multiple South American countries including Peru. It offers restaurant and grocery delivery, and its logistics arm competes with Urbaner in same-day urban courier services for businesses and consumers.
• Glovo: Glovo, owned by Delivery Hero, operates a multi-category on-demand delivery platform in Europe, Africa, and parts of Latin America. Its on-demand courier service (Glovo Business / Glovo Express) directly parallels Urbaner's B2B express delivery offering with API integration and multi-tier delivery speeds.
• Uber Direct: Uber Direct is Uber's white-label, on-demand last-mile delivery product for merchants, offering same-day, next-day, and scheduled delivery with API integration. It competes with Urbaner for the same B2B customers in major Latin American cities and offers a similarly tiered service portfolio.

Direct peers

• Lalamove: Lalamove is an on-demand urban delivery and courier platform operating across Latin America, Asia, and Europe. It connects businesses to a driver network for same-day and scheduled deliveries via web, app, and API — directly mirroring Urbaner's business model, multi-tier service offering, and B2B horizontal targeting.
• Moova: Moova is a Latin American same-day and on-demand urban delivery platform operating in Mexico, Argentina, and other regional markets. It offers API-driven B2B integrations and a courier network for last-mile delivery, closely matching Urbaner's positioning in product, customer segment, and operating model.
• iVoy: iVoy is a Mexican on-demand last-mile delivery and courier platform that connects businesses to a driver network via API and web platform. It serves a horizontal B2B customer base with same-day and scheduled delivery tiers, making it a closely comparable regional peer to Urbaner.

Regional players

• 99 Entregas: 99 Entregas is a Brazilian on-demand delivery service operated by 99 (a DiDi subsidiary), offering courier and parcel services to businesses and consumers. While it primarily serves Brazil rather than Peru, it is a structurally similar on-demand urban logistics platform with a comparable multi-tier delivery model.

Emerging players

• Skydropx: Skydropx is a Latin American logistics and shipping aggregator platform operating in Mexico and other countries, offering API-based integration and multi-carrier delivery options. It overlaps with Urbaner in serving B2B customers with API-driven urban and regional delivery, though it is broader in scope across long-haul as well.
• Picki: Picki is a Mexican on-demand urban delivery and courier platform targeting SMBs and enterprise customers with same-day delivery and API integration. While focused on Mexico rather than Peru, it competes in the same horizontal B2B on-demand delivery category as Urbaner.
