“Speed and convenience are becoming more important than ever before. We are confident that the on-demand shopping experience can cut traditional waiting times, adding a fresh take to conventional e-commerce and retail shop experiences,” said Sayantan Das.
As more consumers are moving toward online shopping, foodpanda ensures that Shops can provide a quick, hassle-free shopping experience. By using Shops, customers eliminate the need to drive to physical malls or shops, traffic congestion, parking and exposure to crowds, ensuring a safe and contact-free shopping experience.
Additionally, the platform has also provided a launchpad for small and medium enterprises (SME) to move their businesses online via their app. Heavily impacted brick-and-mortar has vastly benefited from this.
“It is fortunate that we are in a position to help local business owners and their employees. The COVID-19 pandemic has shuttered many physical stores worldwide, which were not able to readily move their business online. We hope that by providing the tools and guidance on our platform, we can help many SMEs to stay in business”, said Sayantan Das.
Popular SMEs on Shops include Hup Soon Food, Pasaraya Borong Matahari, Choice Shop Melaka, Agro Fresh Bites Subang, Pasaraya Sing Long Pasir Gudang and Nadia Fruits Bangsar.
Recently, foodpanda partnered up with Tesco, Malaysia’s first major retailer on Shops, to further strengthen the offerings with up to 3,000 additional items ranging from fresh produce to groceries and so on.
Sayantan Das added, “Partnering with Tesco gives our customers more choices and increased accessibility to them, as this would add 62 stores nationwide.”
Providing convenience for customers doesn’t stop there for foodpanda. The company plans to work with more vendors nationwide to provide customers with on-demand shopping catering for consumers safety and convenience in mind.
