Bob Go

Bob Go is a smart shipping and order management solution for South African e-commerce businesses, operated by Bob Group (Pty) Ltd, the company behind the Bob Shop marketplace and Bob Pay payment services. Online merchants in South Africa must manage orders from multiple sales channels and choose between numerous local couriers, each with its own rates, service levels and booking processes, which can make fulfilment time-consuming and costly for growing businesses. Bob Go's approach is to aggregate courier services and order management into one platform, allowing merchants to compare rates, book shipments, print waybills and track deliveries from a single dashboard. By integrating with popular e-commerce platforms, it helps sellers streamline fulfilment and present accurate shipping options to customers at checkout. The platform is tailored specifically to the South African delivery landscape.

Key features include multi-courier rate comparison across a range of local courier partners, automated shipment booking and label printing, and checkout rate integration that displays live shipping prices to shoppers. Order management tools consolidate orders from channels such as Shopify, WooCommerce and marketplaces, with bulk actions and fulfilment rules to reduce manual work. Tracking pages and notifications keep customers informed about delivery progress, while returns handling and collection point options offer flexibility for buyers. Merchants can manage multiple warehouses or collection addresses, set packaging defaults and review shipping costs through reporting dashboards. Integration with Bob Pay supports streamlined payments within the Bob Group ecosystem, and an API is available for developers building custom integrations. Bob Go is aimed at small and medium-sized online retailers, marketplace sellers and growing e-commerce brands operating in South Africa.
