‘Hungarian Uber’ to reform goods transportation market?
Change language:
Ordering goods transport services online through the website of a Hungarian startup can result in a 40-50% save on average. According to hvg.hu, the Uber-like company is a novelty on the market aiming to help filling empty warehouses. Also, they would like to optimise transport routes and provide the best possible price for their clients.
‘Hungarian Uber’ concentrates on SME sector
To start with, 2-300 clients request an offer on fuvar.hu on an average day. Most of them look for pallet delivery and moving services. But many would like to send a package from A to B. In fact,
registered transport companies can take part only if the price they offer is at least 5% less than the original.
Finally, the customer decides which transport company he/she gives the assignment.
‘The best price is given by the company which has empty cargo hold, and the delivery address is on the way’ – said Sebestyén Szucsányi-Borza, founder of fuvar.hu. ‘Most of the feedbacks are positive. However, some charge us with espionage regarding the prices of the companies. Others accuse us of trying to reduce prices’ – he added. In fact, the owners of the website receive a success fee from the transport companies after each assignment they win.
Clearly,
fuvar.hu builds its business model on small and medium enterprises (SME sector).
Without moving services the mass of goods needed to be transported is not more than a couple of hundred kilograms. According to the plans, they would like to expand, and the first step will be Austria in this regard.
