Logistics Startup: On-Demand Moving & Delivery: TheVanApp

Malta lacked a modern, app-based solution for on-demand item moving and delivery. We built TheVanApp — an 'Uber for moving items' platform connecting users with van drivers for furniture transport, large item delivery, and logistics across Malta and Gozo.
