Yper

What Yper does

Yper is a French collaborative delivery platform, headquartered in Roubaix, that operates a marketplace connecting professional merchants with a community of 300,000+ occasional couriers (cotransporteurs) who perform last-mile deliveries along their existing daily routes. The platform serves five primary verticals — florists, wine merchants, chocolatiers, large-scale food retail (Auchan, E.Leclerc, Intermarché, Système U, Match, Cora, Chronodrive), and local independent retailers — across 7,500+ French cities, with reported operational metrics of a 98.5% successful delivery rate and average shopper acceptance within 15 minutes.

The technology stack comprises a cloud-based matching and routing platform, the Yper Shopper mobile application (iOS/Android) for couriers with GPS tracking and geofenced delivery validation, the Shop web tool for merchants with multi-store management and real-time tracking, and public REST APIs at developers.yper.fr that allow e-commerce sites and transportation management systems to embed Yper directly into checkout flows. Payments are processed through Stripe, and Yper operates a virtual wallet ("cagnotte") for shopper earnings.

Yper monetizes through per-delivery transaction fees (starting at €7.50 HT), tiered annual subscriptions for SMB merchants (Start, Essential, Premium, with varying delivery windows, insurance, and included points of sale), and bespoke multi-year contracts with large retail chains. The company employs 60–250 staff, has been supported by Hauts-de-France regional development bodies, joined the Gaios group in 2023 under Éric Paumier, and completed a full governance transition in March 2025. You2You, acquired in 2019, operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary extending Paris-region coverage.

Broad incumbents

• FedEx: Global integrator offering same-day, time-definite, and last-mile delivery services. Larger, less specialized than Yper but increasingly overlapping on premium and on-demand French retail deliveries.
• Bringg: Delivery orchestration platform serving retailers and 3PLs globally. Competes with Yper's TMS/API integration layer for large enterprise customers that need to manage multiple last-mile providers.
• Delivery Hero: Global operator of Glovo and other local delivery brands; sets the strategic context for crowdsourced delivery consolidation in Europe and competes for enterprise retail accounts Yper also serves.
• Uber Direct: Uber's white-label last-mile delivery service leveraging the Uber driver network globally. Targets the same retail/restaurant ship-from-store accounts as Yper but with significantly larger scale and capital.

Direct peers

• Glovo: Barcelona-headquartered crowdsourced multi-category delivery app (owned by Delivery Hero) operating across Europe, including France. Competes head-to-head with Yper for retail and grocery accounts.
• Stuart: Paris-based crowdsourced last-mile delivery platform using independent couriers to serve restaurants, grocery, and retail. Most direct analog to Yper's model in France and across several EU cities.
• Deliveroo: On-demand delivery platform operating across France and Europe; owned by DoorDash. Overlaps with Yper on grocery/retail delivery beyond its core restaurant vertical.

Emerging players

• Getir: Turkey-origin ultrafast grocery delivery company using verticalized dark-store and crowdsourced couriers; comparable model to Yper's crowdsourced last-mile but focused on instant delivery in dense urban areas.

Others

• DHL: Global integrator that already partners with Yper by outsourcing last-mile to its shopper network in France. A customer and partial competitor; useful as a benchmark for enterprise logistics scale.

Regional players

• Chronopost: French express parcel arm of La Poste; dominant last-mile express operator in France with comparable time-definite capabilities for retail and e-commerce ship-from-store flows.
