About GOGOX

GOGOX, initially launched as GOGOVAN in 2013, operates an app-based logistics platform in Asia, connecting individuals and businesses with a network of drivers for on-demand and scheduled delivery services. The company was founded in Hong Kong by Steven Lam, Nick Tang, and Reeve Kwan. The founders' journey began while they were running a lunchbox advertising business and personally experienced the inefficiencies of traditional van-hiring call centers. This frustration sparked the idea for a mobile solution, leading them to start GOGOVAN with just HK$20,000 of their savings.

The platform serves both B2C and B2B clients, offering a range of services from the delivery of small parcels and documents to moving bulky items like furniture and construction materials. It operates under a two-sided marketplace model, connecting registered shippers with drivers. Revenue is primarily generated through transaction fees from each successful booking on the platform. Additional income streams include value-added services for drivers, such as fuel cards and vehicle maintenance programs, and premium subscription plans for enterprise clients offering features like enhanced analytics. The company’s asset-light model relies on a vast network of independent drivers and their vehicles, including motorcycles, vans, and trucks.

A significant milestone in the company's history was the 2017 merger with 58 Suyun, the freight business of mainland Chinese online marketplace 58.com, which turned GOGOX into Hong Kong's first unicorn. This merger significantly expanded its presence into mainland China, where it operates under the brand Kuaigou Dache (快狗打车). In July 2020, the company rebranded from GOGOVAN to GOGOX to reflect its expanded service portfolio beyond just van-hailing and to unify its brand across different markets. GOGOX went public in June 2022, listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The platform has a substantial footprint in Asia, operating in over 370 cities across Hong Kong, mainland China, Singapore, South Korea, India, and Vietnam, with a network of over 7 million registered drivers.
