Meridianstacks builds top-quality on-demand delivery apps for Norwegian businesses — a customer ordering app, a driver app and a dispatch dashboard with live tracking and payments — at a fraction of local-agency cost. Your matched hub is Johannesburg (UTC+2) — the same clock as Oslo in summer and never more than an hour out, so our engineers share your whole working day. Premium build, best value: senior engineers, a fixed price in NOK, full code ownership, and same-day collaboration in your timezone.
A full on-demand delivery app in Norway — customer app, driver app and dispatch dashboard — costs roughly NOK 900,000–1,500,000 at a local agency. Meridianstacks builds the same product to a high standard on our Full tier for NOK 270,000–545,000 — a saving of 50–70% — at a fixed price in NOK, with full code ownership and senior engineers working your hours. It is the most cost-effective way to get a professionally built delivery app in Norway.
Launching a delivery marketplace? We build your MVP — ordering, dispatch, live tracking and payments — fast enough to pilot in one city and grow from there.
Take orders direct and run your own drivers instead of paying a platform 30% per order. Own the customer relationship and the data.
Same-day and scheduled delivery with slot booking, substitutions and basket management for a grocery or pharmacy catalogue.
A driver app, automatic dispatch and route optimisation for parcel, B2B or last-mile fleets — track every job end to end.
A solo founder with a delivery idea gets the same senior build as a funded company, at a price that lets you test the market first.
Run many restaurants or shops on one platform with per-vendor menus, commissions and payouts handled automatically.
A delivery app is really three connected products — what the customer orders on, what the driver works from, and what you run the operation with. Get those right, wire them together in real time, and the rest is detail. This is the standard scope we build:
| Part | Who uses it | Key job |
|---|---|---|
| Customer app | Buyers | Order & pay |
| Driver app | Drivers | Deliver & navigate |
| Dashboard | You | Dispatch & manage |
| Live tracking | Everyone | Real-time map |
A free call in your hours to map your delivery model, features and integrations. You get a fixed price in NOK and a timeline before anything is built.
Senior engineers build the customer app, driver app and dashboard in phased sprints. You see working builds every week and steer as it grows.
We pilot with real drivers and orders, harden payments and tracking, then ship to the App Store and Google Play and hand over every repo.
Realistic timeline for a first version; multi-vendor, loyalty and advanced analytics can follow in later phases.

Prices published from our Open Price Book (v1.0 · July 2026 · next review October 2026). All prices exclude VAT.
Indicative ranges in NOK; every engagement is quoted as a fixed price before work begins. Templates look cheap but lock you out of the code and can't handle live dispatch at scale.
