Online supermarket Weezy deploys what3words tech

UK-based on-demand grocery supplier, Weezy, has partnered with what3words to make locations easier to find.

Street addresses don’t always guide delivery drivers to the right entrance and some postcodes cover large areas. Weezy’s new partnership removes the need for phone calls asking for additional directions.

what3words has divided the world into a grid of 3m squares and given each a unique what3words address - made of three dictionary words.

Kristof Van Beveren, Co-founder and CEO, Weezy, says: “It’s convenience without compromise.”

“Whether a hard to find home, a Lucozade to a tired rower, nappies to a mum on a bench, or even dog treats for that puppy on the green – you simply add in your what3words address on checkout and sit back while you wait for your delivery.”

Earlier this year, Weezy raised $20 million in Series A funding to expand its service across London and the UK.

It works with local bakers and butchers, and sources fruit and veg from local markets to stock a range of over 2,000 products at retail prices.

The range also includes alcoholic drinks, dairy, snacks, party games like Twister, and pharmacy products for emergency needs, all delivered in minutes.

After a first year in London, and following launches in Bristol and Brighton last month, the venture recently expanded into the Manchester area.
