The Yello Story: A Halloween spark ignites a revolution

It was Halloween in the year 2014, and a casual evening on Johnny's porch in Paddo (that's Paddington for the uninitiated) unfolded a moment that would change the course of last-mile logistics forever. Glasses of red wine were raised, and camembert was sliced, when Johnny's phone rang with news that every business owner dreads – 3 drivers had called in sick. Frustration set in as Johnny grappled with finding replacements for these vacant shifts. In a fit of annoyance, he decided to "cope" with the staff at hand.

That's when the spark of innovation ignited. "Isn't there an app like Uber, but for drivers?" I pondered aloud. The problem was evident, the solution was clear. With inspiration fuelling our passion, I set out to design and develop an MVP that could seamlessly connect drivers to businesses, just like magic.

The concept took root, and in no time, the first iteration of Yello was born. In the blink of an eye, 50 drivers and 5 stores eagerly embraced our vision, signing up for Yello's version 1.0. And just like that, a groundbreaking solution emerged from the Halloween night – Yello was brought into existence.
