Kovan is the infrastructure that brings senders and courier capacity together. We do not carry parcels in our own name: your urgent parcels open to drivers on the network, and for your regular shipments we put other carriers’ tariffs in front of you. Every hand-off is recorded with a seal, an identity check and proof of delivery.
Sending today, or every day?
Not a sender?Are you a driver?Are you a courier branch?

All four connect to the same chain of records: who handed the parcel to whom is written down at every step.
A parcel that has to leave today, across the city, on drivers from the network.
A good price from other carriers’ tariffs for the parcels you send every day.
Let the network take the bag your branch cannot cover, with the hand-off recorded.
Drive your own vehicle and decide for yourself which work you take.

In online retail, shipping is the line that eats most of the margin. Kovan carries nothing in its own name: you describe your monthly volume, we put the carriers’ tariffs on one table and run it with a single point of contact and a single reconciliation.
This service does not run yet. Our carrier talks are under way; we publish no price and no carrier name on this page before a contract is signed. For now we take applications.
At every step it is clear who is responsible and what the system records. A hand-off done around the app is the one thing this product exists to prevent.
The branch uploads its parcel list to the panel; bags are split to the vehicle’s parcel and volume capacity and the stops are ordered on the server. A parcel that cannot be found is marked, and only then is the bag sealed.
The seal number (used once per company per day), the parcels placed in the bag, the ones missing. Recipient addresses never leave the server.
A bag nobody has taken goes on the board without any recipient details: branch, day, time window, vehicle type, parcels and volume, distance, neighbourhoods and pay. Eligible drivers in the same province see it; the first to accept gets it.
Who accepted and when. Cancelling within 10 minutes of accepting is free; after 18:00 the next day’s work cannot be cancelled.
The driver shows an identity QR signed with the device key. Until the branch has verified the driver, the seal-scanning step stays locked; missing parcels reported by the driver are answered one by one.
The QR is valid for 30 seconds. Manifest, scanned and missing counts, and the branch’s answer about the missing parcels.
The delivery button only opens close enough to the door; the four-digit code texted to the recipient is verified on the server. If the parcel cannot be delivered, a reason and a photo of the door are required.
Distance to the door, GPS accuracy, the entry of the code and the photo. Three wrong codes lock the delivery.
Collected, delivered, returned to the branch and the difference, side by side. The day does not close until the branch has confirmed the return bag and the difference is zero.
Each returned parcel scanned individually; counted deliveries go onto the driver’s pay statement, and when the month closes the lines are frozen.
Kovan never holds the money. The company pays its driver from its own pay statement; Kovan charges the company a platform fee per counted delivery.
Courier branch
On a busy day, when your own couriers are not enough, a bag waits. Kovan opens that bag to drivers on the network: who took it, when they took it, who they delivered it to — all of it recorded with a seal and an identity check. Your capacity flexes; the control stays with you.
The board shows the branch, the hours, the parcels and volume, the distance and the fee. You take the job you like; if you change your mind within the first 10 minutes it costs you nothing. Shift, route and proof of delivery all live in one app.
Our mark is honeycomb cells touching each other: the picture of a shared network, not of a single van.
The easiest promise for an infrastructure company to break is to describe work it does not do.
Kovan is Turkish for a beehive: our mark is three honeycomb cells touching each other — the picture of a shared network, not of a single van.
The rest of this site describes the work the product does. This section says, once and plainly, what it does not do yet.
Two needs, two separate forms. Both are request forms for now: our operations team calls you, and there is no self-service ordering screen.
