“Ace is always looking for new ways to serve our customers better and faster, and now with DoorDash, we’re creating more opportunities to take convenience to a new level,” says Bill Kiss, Head of Digital at Ace Hardware.

“Together, we’re combining Ace’s extensive assortment of top quality products with fast and reliable on-demand delivery that DoorDash is known for. Now our customers can get what they need quickly from their local Ace store, without leaving home or stopping in the middle of a project.”

Consumers can shop thousands of hardware, paint, tools, and garden products directly via the Ace storefront on the DoorDash app or website. Orders are fulfilled in real-time by Dashers, who pick up and deliver items from local Ace stores.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

On demand delivery will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards. which are now open for entries, 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.
