In this project, we have been very excited to work together with a modern and agile technology company such as Digital Goodie. The newly launched service is a result of our fruitful cooperation and agile development”.

The online delivery service started on March 22nd and customers from the central London are the first ones to get the chance to shop for Co-op groceries, which will be delivered within two hours.

Co-op's strong focus on digitalization and their agile approach to development put them in a perfect position to deploy new online services. Our mission is to help retailers make their e-Commerce simple, by connecting the online and brick & mortar channels to one seamless & simple user experience. Working with Co-op to make this happen for their customers has been a privilege for us. Also, having such a high profile customer like Co-op on-board will enable us to deploy our platform more widely around the world,” says Moris Chemtov, Global CEO, Digital Goodie.
