Problem

Last-mile delivery agencies (~3,000 nationwide) contracted with platforms like Coupang and Baemin see driver availability drop below 40% during heavy rain or snow, yet have no automated tools to detect weather deterioration in advance and adjust driver assignments or order acceptance limits. Scrambling to secure drivers on bad-weather days via manual calls incurs 20–30% surge pay, compounded by delivery delay penalties — a double loss.

Solution

Integrates the Korea Meteorological Administration's short-term forecast API with delivery zones (city/district level) to automatically calculate weather risk scores (precipitation, snowfall, wind speed) for the next 12 hours, and sends alerts with recommended driver allocation and order acceptance limits per risk level. A learning loop improves prediction accuracy using historical weather-delivery delay correlation data.

Target: Last-mile delivery agencies (20–100 drivers), regional E-commerce companies with in-house delivery teams
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription ~$37/month (up to 5 delivery zones), ~$75/month (up to 20 zones). KakaoTalk notification messages billed at actual cost (~$0.01/message).
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
