Case Study: Farmdrop achieves festive same-day delivery scale without fleet investment with Gophr

Farmdrop scales festive deliveries 10x with Gophr

Farmdrop, an online grocery platform, faced a challenge when its weekend and festive order surges, sometimes increasing by 300%, exceeded the capacity of its small in-house delivery fleet. They needed a flexible solution to meet this spike in demand for same-day perishable goods without over-investing in permanent infrastructure. They partnered with the vendor Gophr for on-demand courier services.

The solution implemented by Gophr provided Farmdrop with a scalable pool of experienced drivers and vans that seamlessly integrated with their operations. This allowed Farmdrop to expand its delivery capacity precisely when needed. The results were highly measurable: Gophr scaled from supporting with 50 van shifts in a typical month to over 500 during the December 2020 festive peak, ensuring timely deliveries and sustaining the company's growth without the need for costly fleet investment.
