Progressive Grocer Magazine Discusses E-Grocery’s Reality Check and How UPS Logistics Can Help

It has been a decade now since online grocery shopping has become available. Many e-grocers did not survive, and the ones that did sought to perfect the order-to-delivery process. An excellent example, described by Progressive Grocer magazine, is the success of Simon Delivers headquartered in New Hope Minnesota . “The Twin Cities Simon Delivers has focused much of its efforts on the back end of operations- implementing a new warehouse management system and enlisting UPS tools to get its deliveries to customers faster and more efficiently.” 

The online grocery shopping trend has matured, and with it, the need for a true transportation solution provider has materialized. A vast portion of e-grocery business relies on a prompt, service oriented method to deliver goods. Missing a key ingredient, such as distribution can prove to be a catastrophic mistake for many online merchants.
