Sherpa is an Australian company that provides on-demand delivery through technology and a network of crowdsourced couriers. Users can have anything delivered locally in less than 2 hours.

Operations

Sherpa operates in Sydney & Melbourne, Australia with operations soon to expand to Asia. Sherpa was founded in 2014 by Mathieu Cornillon, Ben Nowlan & Bastien Vetault.

Users: An end user (individuals) of Sherpa logs deliveries via a mobile app on iPhone and Android or via the web platform. Users can arrange a simple pick-up and delivery or a purchase and delivery. The latter meaning a user can send a Sherpa to the shop to purchase items on their behalf.
