Burq connects businesses in industries like retail and healthcare to a network of on-demand and same-day delivery providers. The platform works by acting as a middleman that matches companies with couriers while providing real-time SMS updates and tracking links for every order. Unlike many competitors that take a percentage of each sale, Burq operates on a commission-free model to keep delivery costs low for its clients. The company's goal is to help businesses scale their off-premise operations by making fast shipping accessible and affordable.
