RushSlot

RushSlot is a web app (with a lightweight mobile driver companion) that helps local couriers and 3PLs monetize their unused same-day capacity by selling time-window “slots” to small and mid-sized merchants. Instead of building a full delivery marketplace (which is brutally competitive), it focuses on capacity packaging, pricing, and SLA enforcement for operators who already have drivers. Merchants can book guaranteed pickup/dropoff windows, get instant quotes, and print compliant labels. Operators get route-aware slot creation, cutoff times, surge rules, and automated customer notifications. The AI component forecasts near-term capacity risk (traffic, historical no-shows, driver availability) and recommends how many slots to sell per zone and hour to avoid missed SLAs. Integrations target the boring reality: Shopify/WooCommerce order import, CSV fallback, and webhook-based status updates. The goal is fewer failed same-day promises and higher utilization, not “disrupting” DoorDash.
