Tell KapGel what you need and a nearby, identity-verified courier buys it from a store and brings it to your door — you set the price limit, and hand-off is confirmed with a code.
Per-order delivery and service fees; products at store price

Say what you need. KapGel brings it.
KapGel is the city’s on-demand needs network. A customer describes what they need — in words, with a photo, a link or a voice note — and a nearby, identity-verified courier buys it from a store and brings it, as easily as calling a taxi.
It is not a food app, a cargo company or a marketplace: there is no catalogue to browse and no warehouse. Revenue comes from per-order delivery and service fees; the product itself is charged at the store’s price, with no markup.
Three services
Buy it, bring it, send it.
Buy it for me
“Benim İçin Al”: the courier finds the item in a nearby store, checks it and buys it for you.
Pick up & bring
“Al & Getir”: the courier collects an order that is already paid and waiting at a store.
Send
“Gönder”: the courier carries a package from one address to another.
How a request works
Ask and set a limit
Describe the item and set the most you will pay. The card is only pre-authorised — nothing is charged yet.
Approve at the shelf
The courier checks the item and sends a photo and the shelf price. They buy only after you approve, and upload the receipt.
Hand-off with a code
Delivery is confirmed with a four-digit code or QR. The card is charged the real amount and the rest of the hold is released.
Two apps and a panel
Customer, courier and the operations team.
Customer app
Free-form requests, a price limit, approval with photo and price or alternatives, live tracking on the map and hand-off with a code.
Courier app
Onboarding with ID, selfie, licence, vehicle and IBAN; a demand heat map; offers that can be declined without penalty; weekly payouts and an SOS button.
Operations panel
Live operations and reassignment, service areas drawn on the map, pricing with two-person approval, risk, disputes and support.
How it was built
One codebase for two apps, a panel and the API.
A TypeScript monorepo: the customer and courier apps in React Native with Expo, the operations panel in React with Vite, and an API on Fastify, Prisma and PostgreSQL with real-time updates over Socket.IO. Maps and routing run on OpenStreetMap services.
All 140 designed screens are implemented in light and dark themes. Shared packages hold the pricing engine and the order state machine, and the API is covered by automated tests.
