Shipping, couriers and local delivery in San Francisco de Macorís
Your service booking platform can book shipments and share tracking with INPOSDOM, EPS, Domex, Vimenpaq and local couriers, or route orders to your own riders and stores across San Francisco de Macorís.
We set up shipping zones, cut-off times, free-shipping thresholds, cash-collection rules and returns so the promise on the product page matches what your team can deliver.
Owning your channel in the Dominican Republic
Amazon (US cross-border), Corotos and Plaza Lama are where many shoppers in San Francisco de Macorís start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
With your own service booking platform you keep the customer data, set the offers and the packaging, and still push stock to marketplaces from a single admin.
Compliance built into your service booking platform
On tax: Dominican ITBIS is 18% standard, and DGII electronic invoicing (e-CF) is being made mandatory in phases.
Customer data is handled with Law 172-13 on personal data protection in mind, and the storefront follows Law 358-05 on consumer rights, enforced by Pro Consumidor.
Our job is the engineering: price display with tax, invoice numbering, cookie and marketing consent, return and terms pages, role-based access and logs. Legal and tax conclusions stay with your own adviser in Dominican Republic.
Android and iOS apps for your San Francisco de Macorís business
Phones carry most traffic in the Dominican Republic. A customer app makes rebooking one tap, while a staff app shows the day's schedule, routes for field visits, job checklists and payment collection.
One backend serves the website and the apps, and the apps ship under your own Google Play and App Store accounts — so what you change once appears everywhere.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC−4 so offers reach San Francisco de Macorís customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Spanish.
- Google and Outlook calendars
- CRM and marketing
- Maps and route planning
- POS systems

Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
