Founded by the team of Amer Hasan, Barnaby Hapgood, Nicholas Brown and Sean McDonagh, minicabit leverages its expertise and understanding as the UK's largest cab aggregator with product and software development to create an innovative solution to the problem of last mile delivery of online shopping delivery to lower populated cities/towns/villages around the UK. Despite the surge in online shopping as a result of the impact wrought by COVID-19, there is not enough delivery supply in local areas resulting in Delivery networks having to inefficiently dispatch vans from cities further away, inflating carbon emissions. minicabit expects its uniquely designed algorithms to unlock the latent capacity of local taxi cab firms to meet this demand, to develop into a post-project revenue of £15M.

minicabit由Amer Hasan， Barnaby Hapgood， Nicholas Brown和Sean McDonagh团队创立，作为英国最大的出租车聚合商，minicabit利用其专业知识和对产品和软件开发的理解，为英国人口较少的城市/城镇/村庄的在线购物配送的最后一英里问题创造了创新的解决方案。受新冠肺炎疫情的影响，网上购物激增，但当地的配送供应不足，导致配送网络不得不低效地从更远的城市派遣货车，从而增加了碳排放。minicabit希望其独特设计的算法能够释放当地出租车公司的潜在能力，以满足这一需求，并在项目后发展为1500万英镑的收入。
