According to Checkers, the COVID-19 pandemic heightened the demand for online grocery shopping and order volumes skyrocketed during lockdown.
To meet the increased demand for this service, Checkers says that it rapidly expanded Sixty60 throughout the country. The app has since then created over 1 000 new jobs.
The Sixty60 service is currently available in over 100 stores and will be further extended to over 150 by year-end.
“We set out to disrupt online shopping with a hyper convenient and seamless customer experience. To be recognised as the Best Enterprise Solution, as well as the People's Choice, in our first year of operation is testimony to our team's commitment to provide customers with the best possible online shopping experience,' says Neil Schreuder, chief of strategy and innovation for the Shoprite Group.
The app has had more than 800 000 app downloads and its features include:
- real-time order tracking
- curated 'shopping missions', and
- personalised product recommendations.
