Is shared delivery always cheaper?
No. Cost depends on the route, capacity, timing and other operational requirements.
Shared Delivery vs Dedicated Delivery
Short answer: Dedicated delivery normally assigns transport to a specific delivery requirement, while shared delivery can combine compatible requirements and capacity into an organised route.
Dedicated delivery
A dedicated delivery generally uses a vehicle journey for one customer's delivery requirement. This can be appropriate where timing, handling or operational requirements require dedicated capacity.
Shared delivery
Shared delivery allows compatible delivery demand to be organised together. The objective is to use transport capacity more efficiently while respecting the requirements of each delivery.
Which model fits a delivery?
The appropriate model depends on factors including delivery windows, destination, goods, capacity and handling requirements. Not every delivery is suitable for sharing.
GOHAE's approach
GOHAE is designed primarily around shared and route-based delivery operations rather than treating every requirement as an automatically separate trip.
