Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Surviving within today's business landscape depends on meeting the on-demand delivery needs of B2C sales, something that can be difficult to achieve as a small business. Whilst last-mile delivery warehouses save small businesses from having to build their own delivery infrastructure, working exclusively with a single provider can greatly limit delivery options and stall a company's growth.

Burq provides an on-demand B2C delivery service platform which allows businesses to access multiple delivery providers for same-day delivery. The platform integrates directly with major sales platforms such as Zapier and Shopify, offering an analytic dashboard and delivery tracker across different modes of transport and providers.

Taking advantage of the growth in the last-mile delivery sector, Burq has scaled its operations, swiftly building a thriving customer base in the small retailer and startup sectors. Having received funding from investors such as Village Global, it is aiming to hire additional talent and increase its marketing reach to bring on new clients.
