Kovan
For courier branches

Your capacity should not stop at your branch roster.

A busy day, a courier off sick, a campaign that lands all at once. On Kovan the bag a branch cannot cover opens to drivers on the network — and when that bag changes hands, the chain does not break.

What you get

Three concrete things

Capacity that flexes

Bags are split to the vehicle’s parcel and volume capacity. A bag you assign to your own courier is withdrawn from the board; take it back and it reopens the same day.

No hand-off off the books

A parcel only changes hands after the identity is verified and the seal is scanned. A hand-off done around the app is the one thing this product exists to prevent.

A record that ends the argument

When the “it says delivered but I never got it” call arrives, the door photo, the distance to the door and the delivery code are on one screen. A file is opened, a decision is made, and the driver keeps the right to appeal.

A busy day

The bag waiting at the branch

As long as your own couriers are enough, there is no problem. On the day they are not, a bag stays at the branch and rolls over to tomorrow. Kovan opens that bag to suitable drivers on the network without a single recipient address leaving the server.

  • Recipient addresses never leave the server
  • First driver to take the bag takes it, and that is recorded
  • The hand-off happens with a seal and an identity check
Company panel

Run the operation from one screen

The panel is desktop-first and falls to a single column on a narrow screen. Every role is checked on the server; permissions are never merely hidden in the interface.

  • Parcel list — A fixed Turkish CSV template, with Excel’s semicolons and decimal commas. Problems are reported by line and column; a list is either imported in full or not at all.
  • Packing and seals — A bag is sealed only when every planned parcel is inside it or marked as missing. A seal number is used once per company per day.
  • Live shift — The last position of drivers whose shift is open; skipped stops and deviation from the plan.
  • Alerts and case files — Risky delivery records go to review; the decision is written into the chain of events with its reason.
  • Urgent jobs — From one business to one recipient, same day — under the company’s and each branch’s own rules, to the company’s own available couriers.
  • Pay and fees — The driver pay statement and Kovan’s platform fee are kept apart; both download as CSV, and the lines are frozen when the month closes.
One working day

What you do, what the system records

The five steps below are a branch’s daily work; the right-hand column is what gets written into the chain of events at that step.

01
Morning

Open the job, upload the parcels

Branch, day, time window, districts and neighbourhoods, vehicle type, and pay per parcel or per route. A job cannot open before its parcel list is uploaded.

What is recorded

The opening of the job and the parcel barcodes; the recipient’s name, phone and address are stored encrypted and the panel shows only a masked name.

02
Packing

Scan the parcels into bags

Each parcel is scanned into its bag; a parcel that cannot be found counts as out of the bag and is marked.

What is recorded

Which parcel went into which bag, what was missing, and the seal number.

03
Still open

An unclaimed bag goes on the board

The moment the job opens, any bag nobody has taken becomes visible to the network; assigning it to your own courier withdraws it.

What is recorded

The bag going on the board and being withdrawn; recipient details are never shown on the board.

04
During the day

Follow the shift and the alerts

The progress of drivers on an open shift, the stops they skipped, and the reasons and photos for parcels that could not be delivered.

What is recorded

For every delivery attempt: distance to the door, GPS accuracy, and whether the location was mocked.

05
Month end

Close the pay statement and the fee

An admin closes the driver pay statement; Kovan closes the platform fee. If a bag is still unsettled the month cannot close and an alert is raised.

What is recorded

The closed month’s lines and their signature; anything counted later becomes a correction line in the next month.

Permissions

Who sees what

Role checks happen on the server for every request. Panel roles and phone roles never mix in one person.

Pricing

What you are paying for

Kovan charges the company a platform fee per counted delivery. A counted delivery is a delivery attempt the server accepted and nobody rejected: either it never needed a review, or the review approved it. Pending, rejected and undelivered attempts never count. Even if a parcel goes out twice, it is billed at most once.

The driver’s pay is a separate statement and flows from the company to the driver; the money never passes through Kovan. On per-parcel jobs each counted delivery is a line; on per-route jobs each bag whose shift has closed is a line.

Unit prices are set in the contract and defined as a tariff per company — there is no price fixed inside the software. Months close in order; a closed month never changes again, and late records become correction lines in the next one.

Open point: the pilot tariff and the contract are settled in the meeting; we do not publish unit prices on this page.
