Round off your monthly income while serving its neighbors. This is the concept offered by the start-up Cozy Parcela Toulouse and in its region, with its application which allows individuals to collect parcels from their neighbours, in exchange for remuneration.
Up to 200 euros per month
According to the young shoot, one in four deliveries does not reach its recipient on the first pass. This then implies having to move to a relay point to pick up your order. A waste of time and a trip that can often have an impact on the environment.
To limit these inconveniences, Cozy Colis has just developed its own application. This allows your neighbor to pick up your package directly. For this service rendered, he receives remuneration. A system that may very well be suitable for retirees, students or even teleworkers and which can make it possible to earn up to 200 euros per month. What to put butter in the spinach.
Remuneration paid by distribution companies
But who pays? Not the recipient of the package! In fact, these are the parcel delivery companies (DHL, GLS) who remunerate Cozy Colis. The start-up then transfers the remuneration to the “trusted neighbor”. Note that these gains can also be reversed at associations.
With this system, Cozy Colis aims to create social ties, by “facilitating meetings between the same neighbors or people from a district, from the same village”.
“We interviewed over 150 people before creating our app, and we found that many people would like to get to know their neighbors better, but don’t dare approach them. Securing this first step and encouraging them with rewards makes it possible to pass this milestone, and to create a bond with ease”, considers Heloise Barbatco-founder of the start-up.
