Last mile fulfilment

HOME DELIVERY: JISP

Jisp unveils last mile solution

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

Convenience 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.

“Last-mile delivery has always been the missing link in our proposition as many retailers didn’t have enough staff, time or vehicles to truly benefit from providing Jisp’s Home Delivery service.” – Ilann Hepworth, MD, Jisp

Ilann Hepworth, MD of Jisp, said: “Last-mile delivery has always been the missing link in our proposition as many retailers either didn’t have enough staff, time or vehicles to truly benefit from providing Jisp’s home delivery service. With Zoom’s impressive fleet of cars and driver portfolio we are looking to rapidly grow store numbers whilst continuing building our reputations as retailer-first convenience service on the market.”

Kevin Williams, CEO of Zoom 1hr Delivery, said: “Jisp shares our vision of empowering independent businesses with a dynamic delivery solution. 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."
