Operations
One pickup. Optimized routes. Same-day delivery.
Wharphy runs one primary daily cycle so your team has a single, predictable rhythm: orders in by 1:00 PM, pickup 1:30–3:30 PM, delivery 3:30–7:30 PM.
Order flow
Your store passes eligible local orders into the Wharphy delivery operation through a connected workflow set up during onboarding.
Delivery management
Wharphy runs routing, driver assignment, tracking and proof of delivery on our own operational systems.
Your side
Pick, pack and stage the day's local orders. We take it from the pickup.
How Wharphy works
One pickup. Optimized routes. Same-day delivery.
A single daily operating rhythm your team can plan around.
- 01
Your customers order.
Cutoff 1:00 PM
Orders come in through your own store. Local orders placed before the daily cutoff are eligible for that day's route.
- 02
We pick them up.
Pickup 1:30–3:30 PM
Wharphy collects the day's local orders from your location during your scheduled pickup window. One pickup, one handoff.
- 03
We optimize the route.
Same afternoon
Orders are grouped geographically instead of treating every delivery as an independent courier trip. Density is what makes the pricing work.
- 04
Your customers get their orders today.
Delivery 3:30–7:30 PM
Customers receive delivery updates and tracking, and completed stops include proof of delivery.
Why route optimization matters
A single delivery on its own trip is expensive to operate. Ten deliveries grouped into one route share the same drive time, so the cost per stop falls. That is why Wharphy prices by volume: more local orders create more route density.
You do not need to think about any of it. You hand us the day's orders; the routing happens on our side.
Times shown reflect standard operations; Scale merchants may add a second pickup window (see Pricing). Wharphy operates 7 days a week, same-day delivery when orders meet the daily cutoff. Diagrams illustrate the routing concept, and operating times can change as Wharphy adjusts its schedule.
