Overview

Gobuddy is democratising the delivery industry by giving ordinary people the opportunity to deliver goods for retailers. A side hustle income that’s easy and convenient, with no barriers to entry, available on an App. The platform caters to all modes of transport, not just vehicles, and more importantly people walking or using public transport.

The technology matches people’s daily travel routes, without the need for location services, designed specifically for Africa where data costs are a major barrier. The platform addresses gender inequality, youth unemployment and service inequality by connecting eCommerce deliveries to the most prolific delivery network on the planet, ordinary people moving around, in all locations.

The service provides retailers a delivery service into informal townships at the most affordable rates in the quickest times, while uplifting communities.
Gobuddy is unlocking the next massive market opportunity for retail, the informal market.
