Features

Built for people who have better things to do than stand in line.

Live tracking

Waiting around wondering whether something got done is the worst part of delegating. Live tracking shows you exactly where your runner is, what step they're on, and when to expect them, so you can stop checking in and get on with your day.

  • Live map with per-step status updates
  • In-app chat with photo attachments
  • Photo confirmation on every completed errand
  • Shareable tracking links for family or coworkers

Recurring errands

Some errands never go away: the Friday dry cleaning, the monthly prescription refill, the weekly grocery top-up. Recurring errands let you schedule them once and stop thinking about them entirely.

  • Daily, weekly, biweekly and monthly schedules
  • Pause, skip or end a series any time
  • Favorite runners get first offer
  • Allotment warnings before extra charges apply

Team spaces & approvals

Errands multiply fast when a whole office is involved. Team spaces give everyone a shared workspace with roles, approval rules and a single view of what's happening, so nothing falls through the cracks and nobody has to chase a spreadsheet.

  • Requester, approver and admin roles
  • Approval rules by amount, time or category
  • Departments and cost-center tagging
  • Shared dashboard of all team errands

Runner vetting & insurance

Letting someone handle your errands means trusting them with your packages, your prescriptions and sometimes your keys. We built our vetting process to earn that trust before a runner ever accepts their first task.

  • Identity, criminal and driving-record checks
  • Fewer than 1 in 4 applicants accepted
  • Up to $10,000 coverage per errand
  • Annual re-screening and rating reviews

Integrations

Errands shouldn't live in a silo. Errand Machine plugs into the tools you already use, so scheduling, approvals and bookkeeping happen where you're already working.

  • Google Calendar and Outlook sync
  • Slack `/errand` command and approvals
  • QuickBooks Online, Xero and Expensify sync
  • CSV export and API on Team and Business

Receipts & spend controls

When runners pay for things on your behalf, you need clarity and control. Receipts and spend controls make sure you always know what was spent, why, and who authorized it.

  • Automatic receipt capture and extraction
  • Per-errand and monthly spend caps
  • No markup on reimbursed purchases
  • Itemized billing ledger with export
