“Red ROVA, Red ROVA, Send Someone Right Over!”
Hingham, MA - ROVA, a revolutionary on-demand delivery platform, has officially launched in the Boston market.
McGrath, who early in his career was a courier for a Greater Boston delivery service, has spent years protecting the rights of independent contractor couriers; he built an earlier and very successful business doing precisely that. He has created ROVA based on his experiences and industry knowledge, and sees it as the answer for businesses and organizations who need packages delivered quickly and affordably. His model offers a driver-friendly platform for the thousands of independent contractor drivers who are part of the quickly-growing platform.
The ROVA model provides insurance, full transparency, real-time updates, payments and tracking at the customer’s fingertips, and is designed with the drivers in mind. Customers seeking deliveries can access the ROVA platform for a nominal fee, $5, and will then pay a very competitive price for a quick, trackable, delivery of a package anywhere in the U.S. where ROVA has drivers on its platform. The drivers who are registered on the ROVA platform keep 100% of the delivery fee.
Prior to the Boston launch, McGrath beta tested the program in Cincinnati, New Orleans, Atlanta and San Francisco. “We’re ready; it works, and Boston here we come!” he said. ROVA will serve the New England region from the Hingham headquarters at 99 Derby Street.
McGrath points to the market delivery services and their varying policies of how drivers are treated and compensated, and says that the ROVA platform is a winner. “We believe that drivers are the backbone of every delivery program. Whether it is one of the large carriers or even the ride share models, drivers are not treated well. We have created this platform to connect independent contractor drivers with businesses in need, and the drivers are treated very well.”
