From. To. By when. What. Matched to a flight in minutes.
PLOD posts your urgent parcel as a job and matches it to a vetted passenger already booked on your exact route — riding their spare 7kg cabin or 25kg hold capacity. Private Logistics On-Demand for South Africa, built like The Courier Guy, RAM or DHL but flight-native.
A trusted logistics eco-system
Everything the platform can do — visible, not hidden.
Post a job, not a cart
Declare parcel, route and deadline — screened for prohibited items, quoted in ZAR — and list it for matching.
Flight-leg matching
Matching runs on route + time window + remaining cabin/hold kg + transporter tier, never geography alone.
Vetted couriers
Selfie + voice + DHA-style verification (documented adapter) and operator approval before anyone carries a paying package.
Escrow, split on delivery
Funds held on booking, released — platform fee + transporter payout — only once signed handover evidence lands.
SA CAA declarations
A written dangerous-goods declaration matching SA CAA / airline rules — not TSA — for every shipment.
Open partner API
Quote, book, track and webhook endpoints for RAM, DHL, Aramex, The Courier Guy, PostNet and more.
Gamified transporter tier ladder
Not a subscription plan — a career path. Completed handovers, on-time rate and rating drive the tier, and each tier gates the job-value ceiling and insurance limit a transporter may carry. Escrow payouts settle per job in ZAR.
