MICRO-COURIER (µ-
COURIER):
(SMS BASED HOME DELIVERY SYSTEM)
Idea Presented by: Sajid Mahmood

2. We are living in age, which along with bringing so many facilities to life, has
made it too busy. The thought of market shopping brings fret to the already
frantic minds. We present the idea of Micro-Couriers bringing goods to
customers’ doorstep for minimal charges. People register themselves as
micro-couriers and get paid for their services.
1. People register themselves as
Micro-Couriers
a) willing to deliver goods to
customers’ doorsteps
b) get compensation in response for
delivery
2. The customers are also registered
members of the system/service.
a) People who are asking for the
goods to be delivered
b) They order through system (using
sms) for getting their required stuff
from the market.
c) Get their goods delivered by micro-
couriers
3. The grocers/shopkeepers can also
use the system for their advantage.
a) They can also register themselves
with the system for delivering their
customers’ orders to their doorsteps
b) Cost effective and efficient way.

3. Customer wants goods
delivered through Micro-Courier
System
1. Customer sends his/her order
by SMS to the Micro-Courier
System.
2. System asks micro-couriers
their availability for the order
telling them the compensation
they get in response.
3. Upon receiving availability the
system selects the first micro-
courier to deliver the order for
a given compensation.
4. Micro-courier collects the
ordered items and delivers to
the ordering party.
5. Micro-courier gets the
compensation in the account.

4. Customer wants goods
delivered through Micro-Courier
System

job
3. System asks micro-couriers their
availability for the order telling
them the compensation they get
in response.
4. Upon receiving availability the
system selects the first micro-
courier to deliver the order for a
given compensation.
5. Micro-courier collects the ordered
items and delivers to the ordering
party.
