The problem
Small couriers in Jamaica run on WhatsApp, spreadsheets and paper receipts. Customers cannot see where a package is, and staff spend the day answering the same question. Enterprise courier software is priced for companies ten times their size.
What I built
I took the order and tracking system I built for Ship'd JM and rebuilt it as a product. One Laravel application resolves the tenant from the request host, scopes every query to that tenant, and serves three surfaces: the CourierOS marketing and signup site, each courier's public site, and the portals behind it.
One codebase serves any number of couriers, each with isolated data, its own branding and its own customers. TODAY Shipping already runs on it.

Engineering detail
How tenancy works
Everything hangs off the request host. A middleware reads the subdomain or custom domain, binds the tenant, and a trait on every tenant owned model adds the tenant filter to every query and fills it on create. Session cookies are scoped to the exact host, so a login on one courier can never be used on another.
