Meridianstacks builds on-demand delivery apps for Irish startups, restaurants, grocers and courier businesses — a customer app, a driver app and a dispatch dashboard, built to a high standard for a fraction of local-agency cost. It is the most cost-effective way to get a professionally built delivery app in Ireland: a fixed price in euro, senior engineers, full code ownership, and real-time same-day collaboration in your business hours. Your matched hub is Lagos (UTC+1) — a 0–1 hour offset from Dublin, so our engineers share your full working day.
A full on-demand delivery app in Ireland — customer app, driver app, dispatch dashboard and live GPS — usually costs €60,000–€150,000+ at a local agency. Meridianstacks builds the same thing — our Full tier — for a fixed price of €23,000–€46,000, a saving of 40–70% below a local agency. Premium build, best value: you own all the code under Irish and EU law, work with senior engineers, and collaborate in real time during your business hours.
Stop paying 25–35% commission to the big aggregators. Take orders and run your own drivers through a branded app, keep the margin, and own the customer relationship.
Offer same-day and scheduled grocery delivery across a town or city, with stock, slots and substitutions handled in the dashboard and live tracking for shoppers.
Run a multi-driver courier operation with auto-dispatch, route optimisation and proof of delivery — parcels, pharmacy, flowers or B2B drops.
Launch a marketplace connecting customers, merchants and drivers in one city, prove the model, then scale nationally — built lean to get to a real pilot fast.
A single café, butcher or off-licence wanting a simple ordering-and-delivery app for loyal local customers, without aggregator fees eating the order.
One platform across multiple branches, each with its own menu, hours and zone, reporting up to a single head-office dashboard.
Every serious delivery app — whether it looks like Uber Eats, DoorDash or Glovo — is built from the same parts. We build all of them as standard, then tailor each to your delivery model.
A clear, phased process that gets you to a working pilot fast, then hardens it for launch.
Most delivery apps reach a usable pilot in 10–16 weeks, with later features phased in after launch.
