On the Move Systems, currently exploring new online tools to reduce costs and increase convenience in the tourism and travel industry and exploring new opportunities in trucking, in recent weeks has issued a number of news releases publicizing market potential for the company’s proposed online, on-demand courier service.
The company this morning pointed out that the shared economy, similar to the business model used at Uber, is beneficial for people looking for “steady, flexible employment or extra income” as a means to profit from the increasingly popular business model. As such, OMVS says it is considering workforce potential as it continues to scout possible locations for courier service.
“We are looking for a location that has an ample workforce, and one that is open to a flexible arrangement,” OMVS CEO Robert Wilson stated in the news release. “An online, on-demand courier service is not a typical 9-5 job. It requires not only rapid mobility, but quick adaptability as well, as the business needs are constantly changing. Right now, urban areas with young populations, particularly college students or recent graduates, appear quite promising, as people in this group always need extra income, can be highly flexible in terms of time and are open to new ways of doing business.”
OMVS also notes research showing that the Millennial generation considers the shared economy to be “hip and cool” – this generation is quickly adapting not only to using shared economy services, but increasingly becoming an active participant in them.
“Younger consumers and workers embrace technology and are willing to share – key components for success in any shared economy venture,” states the company.
A recent survey revealed nearly three out of four Americans might utilize such a service within the next two years.
