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:
