Carrefour and Just Eat look to reign in Spain as they bring rapid delivery service to the European country

Carrefour and Just Eat have expanded their home delivery services partnership to Spain 

Customers in the country can now access over 4,500 Carrefour products, including fresh, refrigerated, and frozen items, as well as beauty, personal care, cleaning supplies, pet food and more - with deliveries within 30 minutes.

Iñigo Barea Egaña, Country Manager at Just Eat Spain, says: “We work to enhance convenience for our users by broadening the range of products available, with the grocery segment being one of Just Eat Spain’s major focuses. Thanks to this strategic alliance with Carrefour, we can offer our customers an even wider selection of products, with the convenience of home delivery in minutes and the quality assurance that our users expect and deserve.”

"We are very committed to this new alliance with Just Eat, which we consider a key step to reinforce our position of innovation in the fast delivery market," says Justyna Torres Lepetit, E-commerce Director at Carrefour Spain.

"This collaboration is in line with our omnichannel strategy, allowing us to offer a more integrated and accessible experience to consumers through multiple channels. Our priority is to remain at the forefront of market trends, guaranteeing a more efficient and faster service, with delivery times of just 30 minutes for our shopping baskets."

2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Rapid delivery was a key focus area at the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
