Douglas and Gorillas agree rapid beauty products delivery tie up
European beauty platform Douglas kicks off a pilot project today with rapid delivery startup Gorillas.
“Gorillas will bring our products to your home within a few minutes,” Vanessa Stützle, Group CDO Douglas and Member of the Management Board, says in a LinkedIn post.
“As part of the pilot project, which is set to run until the end of the year, we are offering 25 exclusive beauty and lifestyle products from our range via the Gorillas app, with a focus on gift items as well as everyday products.”
She concludes: “In the current climate and with the increasing demand for fast delivery services, this is the ideal time for us to serve our customers via quick commerce with beauty.”
Casino Group
Earlier this month, Casino Group and Gorillas announced a quick commerce partnership focused on the French market.
The former has been boosting its online presence by tapping Ocado Group’s fulfilment platform, while its Monoprix supermarket arm works with Amazon.
This new partnership, which will see Casino buying a "symbolic" stake in Gorillas, will give Gorillas access to Casino’s national brands products, and also to Monoprix’s private label products.
These will be available through Gorillas’ app and delivered within 10 minutes to customers in Paris, Lille, Bordeaux, Lyon and Nice.
Gorillas will also undertake packing and fast delivery of orders purchased on Monoprix and Franprix online platforms from its French micro-fulfilment stores.
