Gobuddy

Gobuddy is the most innovative and sustainable delivery solution for WooCommerce eCommerce retailers.
Gobuddy’s intelligent software and delivery platform is designed to reduce the carbon emissions of deliveries, reduce the cost of transporting goods, empower people and provide your business with a powerful system that creates efficiencies, saving you time.
We match the travel routes of ordinary people with goods moving in the same direction.
Our solution:
<ul>
<li>Reduces transport costs by up to 50% compared to other couriers</li>
<li>Unlocks access to untapped, underserved markets</li>
<li>Provides scalable opportunities for businesses</li>
<li>Drastically reduces travel emissions</li>
<li>Integrates your WooCommerce orders and delivery information from your existing couriers into a single dashboard</li>
<li>Provides details of your priority, in progress and completed deliveries </li>
</ul>
<h3>How it Works</h3>
<ul>
<li>
We understand the potential reputational risk of replacing what already works. That’s why we’ve built a complementary delivery option that runs alongside a retailer’s existing delivery service.
</li>
<li>
Our Gobuddy plugin will first check for a Gobuddy Transporter, if none is found for the specific delivery then the delivery will automatically be redirected to the retailers’ usual WooCommerce integrated delivery option.
</li>
<li>
We utilise the tracking and shipment data of the complementary delivery options to give retailers a full picture of all of their delivery data for their company, regardless of who the delivery partner was.
</li>
<li>
The current complementary delivery options/3rd party as a service options that we use are:
