Helsinki, Finland & London, UK, April 2, 2019 — Digital Goodie, the Finnish creator of the award-winning Digital Goodie Connected Commerce platform, and Co-op, the British convenience store operator and consumer co-operative, have announced a technology partnership, which has aimed at rolling out Co-op’s first dedicated online grocery shop and home delivery service. The new service at http://go.pardot.com/e/361631/2019-04-02/7kjx9/73196414?h=n2eVsGbfqgTwM_76Aa_8VWJjIvgzuPX-XYw28EHcFB8 was launched on March 22, and customers in central London are the first to be able to shop for Co-op groceries online and have them home delivered in less than two hours.
Co-op’s new online service and ecommerce operations run on Digital Goodie’s Connected Commerce platform, a software as a service (SaaS) product, designed to enable retailers to run and grow their businesses online and connect their stores to the digital world seamlessly. Co-op has deployed Digital Goodie’s Commerce and Fulfillment solutions including a personalized ecommerce website, a fulfillment solution enabling super-fast home deliveries, and efficient connections to payment and logistics providers.
The new Co-op online shop and delivery service enables shoppers to order products at http://go.pardot.com/e/361631/2019-04-02/7kjx9/73196414?h=n2eVsGbfqgTwM_76Aa_8VWJjIvgzuPX-XYw28EHcFB8, and receive delivery within two hours at a convenient allocated time. The service is first available to shoppers within a four kilometer radius of a store on the Kings Road in London, before being rolled out to a further eight London stores. Co-op’s plan is to make online shopping available in a significant number of other UK towns and cities in the near future.
Co-op’s objective with the new online service and home delivery is to bring its award-winning products closer to shoppers by strengthening its digital services.
