How Qootuma Works: Travel, Transport, and Earn - Now with Added Protection

The Qootuma app is designed for intuitive and seamless use, connecting travelers and senders through a secure platform. Here's a breakdown of the process:

For Senders:

Post Your Shipment: Senders create a detailed listing on the app, specifying the item(s) to be shipped, origin, destination, desired delivery date, and the compensation they're willing to offer to the traveler. Insurance coverage options are presented during this stage, allowing senders to select the level of protection that best suits their needs and budget.
Browse Travelers: Senders can browse through a list of verified travelers heading to their desired destination. They can view traveler profiles, ratings, and proposed travel dates.
Book a Traveler: Once a suitable traveler is found, the sender sends a booking request, outlining the specifics of the shipment, including the chosen insurance option.
Secure Payment: Upon acceptance of the booking, the sender makes a secure payment through the app, which is held in escrow until delivery confirmation. This payment includes the transportation fee and the insurance premium.
Item Handoff: The sender meets the traveler at an agreed-upon location to hand off the item(s) for transport.
Track Your Shipment: Senders can track the progress of their shipment through the app, receiving updates from the traveler.
Delivery Confirmation: Upon delivery, the traveler confirms through the app, releasing the payment from escrow.

Item Pickup: The traveler meets the sender to pick up the item(s) for transport.
Travel and Transport: The traveler transports the item(s) in their luggage during their trip.
