Faster and more efficient: Deliveroo Order Picker goes live for retailers in Google Play Store

Deliveroo’s new Order Picker solution, enabling grocery/retail partners to pick orders more efficiently, went live in the Google Play Store yesterday.

This came as the company reported that around 11% of its revenue was accounted for by on-demand groceries in the first half of its financial year – up from 9% a year ago.

In a LinkedIn post, Paul Wilkinson, Group Product Manager - Grocery Partners, Deliveroo, said: “It's been a huge effort by the team to build the app from scratch led by Jessica Smith (Senior Product Manager) and Gina Wiley (Engineering Manager) and it's already live with a few of our biggest partners and having a huge impact. More than 20% faster picking too for some partners.”
