What Locally does

Locally operates an Online-to-Offline (O2O) marketplace platform that connects online shoppers, specialty brands, and local retailers to enable product discovery online with local fulfillment. Founded in 2013 in New Orleans under the legal entity Local Gear Inc., the company describes itself as running the world's largest decentralized shopping network in the specialty retail sector, serving over 1,000 brands and 30,000 retailers. Its core technology integrates real-time inventory feeds from participating retailers and surfaces them through embedded widgets (store locators, product finders, landing pages, and the Google-integrated See-What's-In-Store tool) on brand websites, enabling shoppers to find and purchase products at nearby physical stores.

The product architecture consists of the core O2O platform plus modular add-ons including Near Me Transactions ("Buy It Locally"), Local Delivery, Product Locator, Landing Pages, and On-Site Engagement tools, along with a public JavaScript-based API. In February 2026, Locally launched a national US Same-Day Delivery Platform that leverages brands' existing authorized dealer networks for fulfillment, integrated with carrier partners Uber (active), Roadie/UPS (March 2026), and DoorDash (April 2026), targeting under-hour delivery without requiring additional warehouse infrastructure.

Locally's revenue model combines recurring platform/subscription fees from brands and retailers with transaction and marketplace fees from same-day delivery and local-pickup orders. Go-to-market is partner-centric: the platform is distributed via brand-website integration and retailer onboarding, supported by industry conference presence and organic social media channels. The customer base is horizontally segmented across "Global and Specialty Brands" and "Local and Specialty Retailers," with Patagonia publicly cited as a flagship omnichannel partner. The company raised a Series A in March 2024 led by Corbel Capital Partners and Valency Capital and operates as a venture-backed private company with 51-100 employees.
