Australia's biggest SMS concierge service

Sydney, Australia – 11 September, 2015 – Imagine that it’s a Monday afternoon and you’re stuck in the office, too busy to leave to get some food or to replace that broken phone charger. What if you could text a number to get you just that? Well, that time is now and getting anything you want or need within 60 minutes is now possible with ASAP.

ASAP is a concierge text message service that allows people to order whatever their heart desires by SMS. They’re the latest disruptor to hit the Australian market and they’re growing, merging with Ketings (a previous rival) this week to become Australia’s biggest on-demand delivery service. The platform provides people with an immediate trusted personal shopper, delivery person, researcher, booker or simple errand runner to deliver what they need within 60 minutes.

ASAP Co-Founder Dylan Samra explained that ASAP are leading a convenience revolution, which is altering the way regular Australians and businesses think about getting everyday items and tasks done.

“Everyone is time poor these days, so ASAP allows people or businesses to get items they require delivered to their doorstep in a very fast and efficient manner, whether that’s McDonalds for dinner, flowers for a friend or booking a hotel” said Mr Samra.

“ASAPers, our couriers, deliver most items within 30 minutes, with most requests only having a $9.99 fee attached.”

Co-founder Matt Keegan  (formerly of Ketings) said the merger “guaranteed the future of the platform and meant that efforts could now be concentrated on what counts, the customer. With the ASAP team doubling in size, all our effort will be poured into research and development and improving customer experience, as well as expanding our business to the rest of Australia”.

“We have many exciting new developments coming in the months ahead, so stay tuned.”

How does ASAP work?

Using ASAP is simple, no need to download an APP or fill in online forms. It can be done on any phone that has SMS capability, whether it is your old school Nokia 5110 or the latest smartphone.

Just text your request to 0409 777 917 and you’ll receive a reply with a quote and an estimated delivery time straight away.

Payment is also simple, it’s all handled via a secure link from your mobile, facilitated by global payment provider Stripe. And to make things even easier, once your card and address are registered, you never have to enter them again, so things are on autopilot for your next order and you can focus on what matters - getting yourself whatever you need ASAP.
