Australia parcel delivery startup Sendle has teamed up with Asia-Pacific transport and logistic provider Toll to help small businesses get things delivered quickly and cheaply.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sendle co-founder and CEO James Moody says the new deal will allow the startup to compete with the likes of Australia Post in terms of reach, price and customer service.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt lets us tap into Toll\u2019s delivery network. We can deliver anywhere in Australia now, and for better prices than lining up at the post office,\u201d Moody says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sendle aims to provide a frictionless delivery service targeted especially at the smaller players.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole purpose of Sendle is unlocking that big business infrastructure and making that available to consumers, and particularly small businesses,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toll will now be joining Fastway and Couriers Please as Sendle partners.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toll is a Melbourne-based transportation and logistics company with a network of more than 1000 sites across 50 countries.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Luke Condon, who is head of Toll consumer delivery, says the partnership will help expand their customer base.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s partnership with Sendle allows us to provide the Toll experience and delivery service to a large number of small business customers, who we haven\u2019t been able to work with in the past,\u201d Condon says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A very competitive market<\/b><\/h2>\n

The on-demand delivery space is becoming increasingly competitive in Australia, with many startups joining more established, traditional services in trying to disrupt the industry with technology.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moody says Sendle is unique in its focus though.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re focusing on part of the market that not many others focus on,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNot too many other people care about the much smaller market, so there\u2019s essentially a monopoly forcing people to line up at the post office.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOur philosophy is that it\u2019s no longer good enough to have an 80% solution for 100% of the market,\u201d Moody says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou should have a 100% solution for a smaller part of the market. We sacrifice market size so we can create beautiful solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A delivery alternative focusing on the experience<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sendle will now have over 3000 delivery vehicles at their disposal, delivering over 70 million packages annually.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The startup offers door-to-door delivery within 25km for $9.75 and for $24.75 nationally.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It launched in November last year, and closed a $1.8 million seed funding round in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the focus is squarely local at the moment, Moody says they\u2019ll be looking to expand overseas in the long-term future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOur plan is to get Australia really right, and to make a beautiful solution for Australia,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re doing here can be replicated and we have aspirations to go further. Watch this space.\u201d<\/p>\n
