Product Overview
The Courier Booking System (CBS) is a hosted, subscription-based booking and payment platform designed specifically for local and regional courier companies in South Africa.
This is not a generic website build. It is a fully managed operational system that allows courier businesses to accept bookings online, calculate delivery prices automatically, collect payment upfront, and manage jobs efficiently from a central dashboard.
CBS is owned, hosted, and maintained by SiteSavvySA and licensed to clients on a monthly subscription basis.
What the System Does
The Courier Booking System automates the most time-consuming parts of a courier operation:
- Online booking from customers
- Instant delivery price calculation
- Secure online payment collection
- Automated customer email notifications
- Centralised booking management for staff
This reduces manual quoting, unpaid jobs, admin errors, and customer frustration.
Key Features
- Online courier booking form
- Province-to-province pricing logic
- Parcel size and weight rules

- Automated booking confirmation emails
- Booking status updates
- Admin dashboard for managing bookings
- Manual booking entry (important for phone/WhatsApp jobs)

Who This Is For
The Courier Booking System is ideal for:
- Local courier companies
- Regional logistics operators
- Independent transport operators
- Rural and semi-urban courier services
- Courier businesses not served well by large API-only platforms
Hosting & Ownership Model (Important)
CBS is offered strictly as a hosted service:
- All systems are hosted on SiteSavvySA-managed servers
- Clients do not host the system themselves
- System design, logic, and code remain the intellectual property of SiteSavvySA
- Access is provided only while an active subscription is maintained
This model ensures stability, security, updates, and long-term system reliability.
