About Gumboot
A faster, simpler way to get everyday jobs done.
Gumboot is building a faster, simpler way to get everyday jobs done by connecting people who need help with locals who are ready to get it done.
From mowing lawns and moving furniture to cleaning, deliveries, and odd jobs, Gumboot turns what used to be frustrating, slow, or unreliable into something seamless and local.
At its core, Gumboot is about unlocking opportunity for both sides.
Our Mission
To make local work simple, accessible, and trustworthy.
- Anyone should be able to find help quickly
- Anyone should be able to earn money on their own terms
- Local communities should be more connected
Gumboot exists to remove friction from everyday work: no more endless messaging, no more unreliable posts, no more guesswork.
Why We Built Gumboot
Finding casual help in New Zealand is still messy.
Facebook groups are hit-or-miss. Classifieds are outdated. And most platforms are not built for quick, local jobs.
So we built Gumboot, a modern marketplace designed specifically for small jobs, local connections, and real people.
Instead of scrolling, posting, and hoping for replies, Gumboot makes it structured, fast, and reliable.
How It Works
Simple from start to finish.
2. Get offers
Local helpers are notified and send through offers with timelines.
3. Choose and chat
Pick the right person, message in-app, and organise details.
4. Pay securely
Payments are handled safely, only released when the job is complete.
