Jisp reveals plans to offer local retailers nationwide a one hour delivery solution eliminating the need to leave the store, hire drivers or buy delivery vehicles.
onvenience shopping app Jisp is partnering with Zoom 1hr Delivery to provide retailers with a fleet of drivers in a new last-mile fulfilment initiative. Store owners will now be able to have their products delivered straight to customers without having to leave the shop, hire new drivers or purchase vehicles. Zoom has a fleet of more than 300 drivers nationwide and has so far been operating primarily in the West Midlands and Wales. Under the new partnership, however, Jisp and Zoom are in talks to extend the solution nationwide to capitalise on Jisp’s partnerships with Bestway, Nisa and Co-op. Zoom currently serves more than 440 retailers and is set to bring in 300 Co-op stores by the end of September. Since going live, it has processed over 280,000 orders through the platform.

By marrying their slick technology with our operations and infrastructure across the UK, we will be able to better serve retail and food businesses, and vastly improve our own customers’ experience. ”Find out more and register your interest here.
