Theyutes Logistics · Electronics

₦1.8M phones don't ride with strangers.

High-value electronics need three things every other logistics API hand-waves: a verified courier, a captured signature, and an insurance policy that actually pays out. Pass the parcel value and signed-delivery flag — we route around the carriers who can't do all three.

What breaks today

Electronics, in three honest lines.

Gate-drops
Most couriers will leave a ₦2M parcel at the gate.
If your carrier doesn't enforce signed delivery, a $1,500 phone disappears into a security log entry. signedDelivery=true is enforced at quote AND dispatch — carriers without signature capture drop out before we book.
No insurance
Standard couriers cap reimbursement at ₦25,000.
Pass insuredValueKobo and we auto-route to carriers whose insurance tier covers your declared value. Carriers that can't insure to the value get excluded with a per-carrier reason on the quote response.
Bulky / fragile
TVs and laptops don't fit on a 50cc bike.
Pass dimensions + fragile=true and the orchestrator filters to carriers with cars + vans + foam-padded bags. Bicycle couriers fall out automatically. No more 'why did you book a bike for a TV?'.
What we built for electronics

Four primitives. One API.

Signed delivery enforced.
signedDelivery=true gates the carrier pool at quote time and gates POD at delivery time. The rider's app refuses 'delivered' without a captured signature; the audit log shows who signed.
Auto-insurance up to declared value.
insuredValueKobo gets mapped to the carrier's published cover band. Carriers without sufficient cover fall out at quote. The dispatch response echoes the active cover + underwriter for your records.
Fragile + dimension routing.
Length × width × height + fragile=true narrow the carrier pool to vehicles that physically fit + padding profiles that match. No more bike couriers booked for 65" TVs.
Tamper-evident POD.
POD photo is captured with the parcel's serial / IMEI in the frame when notes contain an identifier. Lands on the shipment webhook as proof the right unit was delivered to the right hands.

Uber Direct wins because they can carry the value insured AND enforce signature capture. The response echoes the active cover band + underwriter so finance has the audit trail before the rider rolls out.

Questions

What electronics integrators ask first.

What's the highest declared value you can carry?
₦5,000,000 per parcel on Uber Direct's Premium Cover band. Above that, we book a private courier with custom insurance through our Scale-tier customer success team — turnaround usually ≤ 24h.
Do you support same-day swap for warranty returns?
Yes — POST a dispatch with mode="swap" and two parcels (the replacement going out, the faulty unit coming back). The rider executes both legs and the shipment lifecycle includes return.picked_up + return.delivered events.
Can I see the rider's signature before paying out the order?
Yes — GET /api/v1/logistics/shipments/{id}/track returns the signature URL inside lifecycle.deliveredAt's payload. The webhook shipment.delivered.signed also carries it. Hold payout until you've matched the signed name against the buyer record.
