美国康涅狄格州斯坦福德，2021年10月25日/PRNewswire/ - Point Pickup Technologies，企业级最后一英里的履行和配送提供商，将客户控制权交还给零售商，今天宣布将推出GigPoint，这是一个独一无二的平台，旨在帮助不断扩大的零工网络更好地管理他们工作和生活的关键方面，提供基于工作的奖励和银行和保险等重要服务。未来的GigPoint迭代将引入新的工作支持福利以及更强大的社区建设工具。最初的GigPoint版本仅供受邀者参加的焦点小组使用，今天已经发布，最终将通过Point Pickup弹性员工应用程序或可下载的独立应用程序向所有弹性员工开放，包括购物者和司机。推出时提供的三项服务是奖励、银行和保险。通过“点取”成功完成订单，灵活员工将获得积分，然后他们可以用积分换取现金奖金、假期、服务和产品折扣以及其他福利。通过PointTrust(与萨顿银行合作，联邦存款保险公司会员)，灵活的员工可以有效地管理他们的财务，而不用担心透支或每月的费用。他们还可以通过GigPoint购买多种负担得起的保险套餐，包括健康、牙科和视力福利。“从第一天开始，我们的弹性员工就一直是我们公司的心跳。但我们已经认识到，零工经济正变得过于破碎，无法长期持续，为我们的员工提供更好的医疗福利比以往任何时候都更有必要，”Point Pickup首席执行官汤姆·菲奥里塔(Tom Fiorita)说。“GigPoint的第一阶段将帮助我们超过35万名Flex员工建立更成功的企业，这将转化为更快乐、更充实的生活。 We are looking toward the future of the gig economy by not accepting the status quo and building a care economy in its place." The initial features provided by GigPoint are linked to an internal retention and job motivation study conducted by Point Pickup to identify top work-benefit priorities for its flex workers. An easy-to-use loyalty program with instant access to rewards was rated as the number one request. The latest research note published by Barclays US Internet and North American Transportation senior analysts Ross Sandler and Brandon Oglenski, "Gig Last Mile Delivery vs. AMZN – The Next Battleground? ", indicates that the size of the gig economy workforce is likely to more than double by 2025, from approximately 7 million to over 14 million1. In addition, these same gig workers are estimated to be over half of delivery personnel by 2025, with same-day delivery expected to take 16% of the US package market. However, addressing the needs of the growing gig workforce will be paramount to meeting the potential for the last-mile industry. After the beta program is completed, the first release will launch to Point Pickup's flex workers later this fall. Future iterations will expand to the general gig ecosystem, with the intent of building a more open and transparent gig environment, as well as implementing additional features.
