Courier Company Software — How the Credit Model Works | İletmen TekEkran

The seasonality of courier companies

Courier companies swing heavily by season and region. Winter months slow down, summer peaks. Ramadan shifts regional traffic. School periods activate student districts.

These swings make fixed monthly subscriptions wasteful. You can't take delivery work in the low season yet you still pay the same subscription. For small and mid-sized firms, this hits profitability directly.

Why monthly subscriptions are weak

Monthly plans typically work like this: pick a courier bucket (e.g., 50, 100, 200 couriers), pay a fixed monthly fee. Whatever your couriers deliver, the payment is the same.

Three core problems:

• Low-season payment isn't for service; it's for the right to service.
• Shrinking your team often triggers penalty fees.
• Growing into a larger bucket means new contract commitment.

What is the credit model?

Credit-based = pay for what you use. All couriers are defined in your management panel. The Android courier app is live. Each delivered package consumes one credit.

No deliveries = zero credits used. Active days cost credits equal to packages. Credits don't expire; they roll forward.

Look at the numbers

Say you average 5,000 monthly packages. Monthly cost = per-credit price × 5,000. Volume discounts apply.

August slowed to 3,000 packages? Your bill drops automatically.

Hit a record month at 8,000 packages? Bill grows — but so did revenue.

Cost moves with revenue. Healthy financial structure.

Pricing visible after demo

Since credit pricing scales with volume, we don't quote a fixed number at demo stage. After demo completion, all tiers appear in the panel. Different prices for low, mid, and high volume.

Auto volume discount. A 1,000-package firm doesn't pay the same unit price as a 10,000-package firm.

What's in the package?

For your credit spend you get:

• Full management panel — zones, shifts, payroll, map tracking
• Android courier app (Paketimvar)
• SoftPOS card collection at the door
• Meal voucher doorstep collection (MetropolCard, Multinet, Edenred, iWallet)
• SMS and push notification infrastructure
• CRM — track dealer and restaurant prospects
• Expense tracking — fuel, maintenance, staff
• Fixed-asset management — bikes, helmets, bags

Management software, courier mobile app, and doorstep collection all bundled with no extra fee.

Is there a monthly commitment?

No. Credit model isn't a lease; it's a purchase. You buy credits, use them, refill when empty. Pause mid-month and your unused credits wait in your panel.

Advantage for small firms

A new or small courier company finds subscriptions risky — one slow month and the fee bites. Credits eliminate that risk. 500 packages = 500 credits. 200 packages = 200 credits. Cost perfectly aligned with revenue.

Advantage for large firms

At very high volume, credit models get even more advantageous. Volume discounts reach meaningful levels. A 50,000-package company pays a much lower unit price than a 5,000-package company. Growth is rewarded.

Season planning

Credits make season planning easier. Firms preparing for Ramadan buy and stockpile credits in advance. Monthly subscriptions don't support "holding credits" so sudden demand was harder to handle.

Is migration hard?

No. If you're coming from existing software, our team handles data migration. Courier list, dealer definitions, pricing tariffs land in the system within hours. Run both in parallel; switch fully when you're ready.

Conclusion

The credit model is the most aligned pricing for courier companies. It moves with your seasons, unit cost falls as you grow, and no-delivery days cost zero. Request a demo to see pricing tailored to your volume.
