Zapp teams with Jiffy to offer rapid delivery for Londoners
Quick commerce firm Jiffy recently shifted from grocery delivery to providing software for other delivery apps.
And it has now inked an exclusive partnership with Zapp as it looks to provide continuity to its customers in London.
Zapp will become the official choice for Jiffy customers wishing to continue ordering essentials for delivery within minutes. The agreement will also include customer and product analytics, and key supplier partnerships.
"We are humbled to be able to bring Jiffy customers the full Zapp experience, delivering all of their favourites, 24/7," says Steve O'Hear, Zapp's Vice President of Strategy.
"Whether it's spontaneous summer drinks, last minute hosting or that essential grocery shop, we look forward to onboarding many of the current Jiffy customers to Zapp and serving even more Londoners going forward.”
“As the quick commerce sector develops, we will continue to evaluate opportunities to further consolidate our leadership position in London.”
"As we transition to becoming a dedicated software company with the launch of our 'Quick-Commerce as a Service’ (QCaaS) earlier this year, we are delighted to have reached a partnership agreement with Zapp that ensures Jiffy consumers can continue to get the things they need, when they need them," says Jiffy Co-founder Vladimir Kholiaznikov.
"With Zapp's customer obsession and its curated selection of 'want it now' products, we could not have found a better partner to continue serving our customers.”
Earlier this year, Zapp raised $200 million in Series B funding.
Investors included Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, Lightspeed, 468 Capital, BroadLight Capital, Atomico, Burda, and Vorwerk Ventures.
Getir
Yesterday, we reported that Turkish rapid grocery delivery big hitter Getir was gearing up to cut 14% of its staff globally.
The company employs some 32,000 people in the nine markets where it operates, which works out to 4,480 people impacted by the downsizing, according to a report by TechCrunch.
In addition to slashing its workforce, Getir, which In March raised $768 million at an $11.8 billion valuation. is also planning to rein in its expansion plans, including hiring, marketing investments and promotions.
It is blaming this on rising inflation and the deteriorating macroeconomic outlook around the world.
