On-demand cargo and moving marketplace for Greater Vancouver.

Problem
Moving a sofa or an irregular load usually means guessing what vehicle you need and accepting one fixed price. Rovor lets a customer describe the job, get the right vehicle type recommended, and compare bids from local verified drivers before paying anything.
What shipped
- Vehicle matching from the cargo description — route + cargo in, recommended vehicle type out (SUV, pickup, minivan, cargo van, box truck).
- Driver bidding window: nearby verified drivers submit quotes; customers compare price, rating and ETA.
- Stripe checkout that charges only when a quote is accepted and holds funds until the job is done.
- Live GPS tracking with traffic-aware ETA.
- Request flow that doesn’t require an account to start, with scheduling up to 7 days ahead.
