Pickup Platform
Distributed collection and fulfilment — coordinating pickup and collection across networks.
The problem
Couriers, postal services, and e-commerce businesses may need to coordinate pickup, collection, and fulfilment across distributed networks. These needs are often solved separately.
What the platform provides
The planned Pickup Platform would coordinate pickup points and collection networks through a shared foundation. Couriers, retailers, and other operators could shape that coordination around their own fulfilment needs.
Why it matters
If developed, it could make distributed collection and fulfilment easier to coordinate without each network starting from a separate system.

Shared Pickup Network
Planned directionShared pickup point coordination.
Where it could go
The approach could support courier and postal networks, e-commerce fulfilment, and retail collection points.
- Courier pickup coordination (last-mile delivery)
- Postal collection networks (mail, parcels)
- E-commerce fulfilment (online retail, marketplace)
- Retail collection points (click-and-collect, in-store pickup)
How it connects
Pickup works best when orders and fulfilment stay connected, linking this direction with WhatsApp Commerce and Menu.
