Shoprite has unveiled an innovative digital solution for its Cash & Carry stores, marking the wholesale brand’s first venture into e-commerce. This new platform allows bulk-buying customers to browse and purchase a wide range of goods at highly competitive prices through a fully automated online shopping system, with free delivery within a 50km radius.
Spaza shops and smaller retail businesses often face significant challenges, including high transportation and fuel costs, difficulties in meeting demand within the informal sector, and the risk of overstocking, which can lead to high carrying costs, increased risk of theft, and cash flow issues.
“We are committed to supporting small businesses by providing innovative solutions to the specific problems these enterprises face,” said Mark Cotton, Head of B2B eCommerce at the Shoprite Group. “The new Cash & Carry digital platform provides customers with reliable and visible stock access and delivery services that eliminate the need to store excess inventory, free up much-needed cash flow, and give business owners more time on the shop floor to focus on their customers and business growth.”
The new system also streamlines the purchasing and fulfillment process for Cash & Carry’s in-store traders, allowing them to log in, access customer and product information, and build and fulfill orders more efficiently. Orders can be saved for future use, making the entire process more user-friendly.
To further enhance customer convenience, multiple online and in-store payment options are available, including credit and debit cards, EFT, store credit, cash upon collection, and Shoprite’s Money Market Account. Customers can also benefit from instant cash savings and special offers through the Xtra Savings Club.
