Wynshop Announces Partnership with Shipt to Expand Same-Day Delivery Offering for Regional Grocers
From digital storefront to shoppers’ front door, Wynshop’s e-commerce platform is a turnkey solution to help grocers grow their online businesses profitably.
- Through the Shipt partnership, grocers can offer delivery in as fast as 1 hour while owning the customer journey.
MIAMI, FLORIDA – December 9, 2021 – Wynshop, the leader in digital commerce for local store-based retailers, announced today a partnership with Shipt, the shopping and delivery company, to offer a fully integrated, out-of-the-box solution for regional grocers to offer same-day delivery to their shoppers.
With customer demand for online services here to stay, many grocers are looking to expand their digital capabilities. According to State of Digital Grocery: Growth at the Cost of Profitability, a recent study conducted by Incisiv and Wynshop, the majority (77%) of grocery retailers reported their digital customer experience lags because they don’t have an end-to-end view of the shopper.
This partnership makes it easy for grocers to offer their customers same-day delivery provided by Shipt for orders made through the grocers’ own digital storefronts on Wynshop’s platform. Shoppers will enjoy the convenience of ordering directly from their local grocer and having their groceries delivered in as little as one hour, while grocers will benefit from having the most advanced e-commerce functionality possible that brings together multiple fulfillment solutions into one easy-to-use platform.
“Wynshop is committed to helping local store-based grocers deliver unique and compelling online experiences to amplify customer loyalty,” said Neil Moses, CEO of Wynshop. “Shipt’s stellar reputation for customer service combined with its vast network of Shipt Shoppers, reaching 80% of U.S. households, makes them the perfect partner to deliver on this commitment. Together, we’re bringing an efficient fulfillment solution and the fastest delivery option to the local level giving grocers the tools they need to own their digital businesses, build a customer community and scale up profitably.”
Wynshop is a digital commerce platform providing technological advantages that were previously only available to a small number of sophisticated retailers with the resources to build and maintain custom solutions. The company is committed to future-proofing its clients’ businesses through relentless innovation and a solution that is scalable and flexible.
“We’re excited that our partnership with Wynshop gives more grocers of all sizes, especially local and regional favorites, an easy way to reliably and flexibly scale their fulfillment options,” said Rina Hurst, chief business officer at Shipt. “We’ll be able to offer Wynshop’s partners access to a community of Shipt Shoppers, who are committed to going above and beyond to make sure every order is exactly right, and delivered quickly. Between offering Shipt’s marketplace for incremental sales and supporting the growing desire for a grocer to also have their own e-commerce website, we’re focused on meeting and supporting grocers where they are in their delivery journey.”
Wynshop currently works with brands including United Supermarkets and Wakefern, and will begin expanding Shipt’s same-day delivery capabilities to their platform in early 2022.
