Quiqup, a Dubai-based same-day delivery startup raises $5.5 million led by Delivery Hero

Dubai-based logistics startup Quiqup has raised $5.5 million in an investment round led by Delivery Hero, it announced today in a statement to MENAbytes. The round was also joined by Lebanon's Cedar Mundi, New York-based Jobi Capital, and Trasnmed.

Quiqup provides on-demand, same-day, and scheduled delivery solutions to retailers (online and offline), and restaurants of all sizes in the United Arab Emirates. The restaurants can book an on-demand courier to deliver food to their customers through Quiqup's dashboard or API integrations (which could book a courier whenever an order is received). The order is picked-up in 15 minutes and delivered to the customer within 50 minutes.

The online retailers can offer same-day delivery to their customers by integrating Quiqup's API's into their websites or apps. They can split the delivery cost with customers. Offline retailers can book same-day deliveries through the dashboard. They also have the option to book scheduled deliveries (including recurring ones) for a later date.

Businesses can track and manage all the orders from the dashboard and their customers can track them live either on the website or app (if they've integrated the option into them) or through a link.

Quiqup uses a pay-as-you-go model charging the businesses for every delivered
