Each answer stands on its own and names the concrete Maxmove advantage.
According to the provider, Uber Direct is built for local orders from retailers and restaurants. With Maxmove you choose the vehicle to fit the goods — from a courier car for documents to a 3.5 t box van for pallets.
Maxmove accepts orders via web, app, REST API and shop plugins. Webhooks report every status change back, so your shop or system can show the delivery status itself.
Every delivery is documented digitally, and the costs are collected on one monthly invoice in the Business workspace.
