AppDate: Reserve Bank to choose fintech winner
This week, SEAN BACHER highlights the Global Fintech Hackcelerator, Fortnite’s skin for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Standard Bank and iiDENTIFii’s partnership, WRAPP and Zulzi’s latest expansion.
WRAPP connects waste and removers
A fast-growing app-based service, working off the grid from a used shipping container, is offering convenience and simplicity to businesses and professionals who need waste removed from worksites. WRAPP (Waste Recycling App) is a South African-born app, bringing together independent truck owners and the customers who need waste removed.
For business owners, project managers, site managers and other professionals, WRAPP is ciamed to make ordering and tracking as easy as familiar app-based taxi and food delivery services.
WRAPP allows a customer to choose the waste type, truck type and pick-up time for loads from 1.3 to 12 tons, with quotes in 60 seconds. Payment happens after delivery, either via a credit card payment or by EFT. With live tracking and notifications, there’s no need to follow up on the status of the order with calls or texts. The cloud-based dashboard gives managers access to a full audit trail with time stamps of every load’s life cycle, from removal to recycling or disposal. It also features useful graphic breakdowns of the data.
Platform: Android and iOS
Expect to pay: Signup is free but the waste removal costs depend on type and weight.
