Current Operations

Our platform connects users with merchants, the innovation possibilities and solutions we now provide are unmatched in the current marketplace. “I want it and I want it now” is the mindset of millennials and Gen Z generations, which are consumer groups that are within our target demographics. This is no longer a theory or a dream, we have maintained a steady increase of users, growing at a current rate of over 13% month over month, with alcohol as our rising popular category next to food.

These first products and verticals of ParcelPal are just the beginning of our technology roadmap. Last quarter we surpassed 1 million deliveries - Since this announcement, we have recruited even more drivers to deliver across Vancouver, allowing for an increase in number of deliveries.

We have continued our growth within the Amazon ecosystem. We have built a strong relationship with them as they are extremely pleased with our ability to meet all requirements and perform exceptionally. We are currently maintaining an average of 99%+ of delivery success rate and are delivering thousands of packages daily on their behalf. We are looking to expand within the Amazon ecosystem across Canada.

Growth Strategy for 2018/19

We have a true passion for innovation and will continue the disruption of this landscape through our customer-centric organization. It is our mission and responsibility to create the best user experience possible and that is why we will continue to reinvest into research and development. This not only allows us to acquire new customers but also to keep our current customers engaged and maximize revenue potential. It has been our goal to be live on all platforms, enabling digital access for everyone. Therefore, we have completed the beta launch of our ParcelPal Courier and consumer app on Android and it has been a success. We are proud to be launching the app to the public on Android mid-September 2018. With our services already available on iOS, our services will now be easily accessible on virtually every single mobile device by simply downloading our app.

We have added several new verticals to our ecosystem and are currently testing to a select number of users. Specifically, we have added groceries and other various consumer goods. In the near future, we will be adding various forms of artificial intelligence and prediction algorithms to maximize reach with our users. We are looking at several options for vertical integration to further establish our footprint within the industry.

We are more than pleased that we have hundreds of businesses on our platform and we plan on growing this significantly in both local markets as well as new markets. Currently, we are working on our platform, making it even more seamless to integrate with our current and prospective businesses. We will be integrating into various point of sale systems and creating inventory management tools for fast and easy implementation.

As we continue our targeted growth strategy, we are now poised to scale our platform across even more verticals and geographical areas across Vancouver and Canada. We have engaged users and merchants in cities across the country and have ramped up recruitment for drivers to accommodate the demand in new areas.

Additionally, the company has updated their corporate presentation. The presentation can be viewed here: www.parcelpal.com/investor

On behalf of the Board of Directors, the leadership team, the wider organization and myself, thank you for your continued support as we continue to elevate ParcelPal through the year ahead.

Additionally, the Company arranged shares for debt settlement with certain directors and officers of the Company for services provided to the company from April 2018 to July 2018. The Company will issue a total of 150,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.24 per Debt Share in settlement of the indebtedness to the Creditors in an aggregate amount of $36,000.
