Gophr- A next generation delivery network to support the economic recovery of local community retailers.

基于Gophr已建立的当日速递解决方案和遍布英国的快递网络，该项目旨在解决以下市场挑战，这些挑战在2019冠状病毒病大流行后被显著放大：-独立食品零售商和餐馆未能与大型运营商（如超市）的增长相匹配-由于个人持续关注最小化风险，以及消费者购物方式的加速批发学习变化，商业街客流量减少-按需出租车服务减少（优步报告需求减少70%）寻求通过开发在线工具包来解决这些挑战，该工具包将使从杂货店和咖啡馆到肉店和化学家的独立零售商能够更好地利用送货上门服务——通过goprs的快递网络提供便利，该网络由5000万名注册司机组成，并可访问另外1万名强大的出租车司机网络。使用该解决方案，零售商将能够创建一个简单的在线帐户（用于宣传他们的产品），该帐户将与goprs现有的预订平台相关联，使买家能够安排当天送达。虽然也有其他尝试提供类似的模式，但它们仅限于选择那些因送货成本而受到限制的本地餐厅。相比之下，Gophrs建立的平台在全国范围内的配送网络之外，提供了目前任何其他解决方案都无法提供的当日配送自动化水平，从配送调度到路线优化，从取货点合并工作到实时跟踪，所有这些因素都可以实现更低成本的配送模式。作为提高独立零售商发展竞争力的解决方案，该方案在应对新冠肺炎疫情时得到了加速，并可能在未来的经济复苏中发挥关键作用，针对受疫情影响最严重的两个行业——小型零售业和出租车/私人租赁行业。

Building on the established Gophr same-day courier delivery solution and a UK wide network of couriers, the project seeks to address the following market challenges which have been notably magnified following the COVID-19 pandemic:-Independent food-retailers and restaurants failing to match the growth seen by larger operators eg Supermarkets-Reduction in high-street footfall due to ongoing individuals' concerns to minimise exposure alongside a much-accelerated wholesale learnt change in the way consumers now shop-Reduction in on-demand taxi services (Uber reporting a 70% reduction in demand)Gophr seek to address these challenges through the development of online toolkit that will enable independent retailers from Grocers and café's to butchers and chemists to better exploit home delivery services -- facilitated through Gophrs courier network of \>9K registered drivers with access to a further 10K strong network of taxi-drivers.Using the solution, retailers will be able create a simple online account (to advertise their products) which will be linked to Gophrs existing booking platform to enable buyers to schedule same day delivery. Whilst other attempts have been made to deliver a similar model they are limited to select restaurants with more local initiatives prohibited by delivery costs. Next to a nationwide delivery network, in contrast, Gophrs established platform offers a level of automation in same-day delivery not currently available through any other solution from the scheduling of deliveries to route optimization, merging jobs at point-of-pick up and real time tracking -- all factors that enable a lower cost delivery model to be delivered.Conceived as a solution to increase the competitiveness of independent retailers' development has been accelerated in response to COVID-19 and could play a key role in future economic recovery -- targeting two sectors which have been hit hardest by the pandemic -- small retail sector and taxi/private-hire industry.
