GroceryStreet Offers Software for Sale or License to Grocery Chains and Wholesalers
Top Rated and Market Tested Software
Allows Chain Grocers to
Offer Groceries Online
Birmingham, MI- August 28, 2001- GroceryStreet, a software and services company that provides online shopping software to retailers, is now offering grocery chains and wholesalers the option to purchase GroceryStreet`s market tested software.
Now a retailer can own the GroceryStreet software outright, modify it, or maintain a license arrangement allowing them to benefit from future software upgrades. "This provides chains a tremendous jump in getting into this space," says Francie Black, President of GroceryStreet. "This will be attractive to large chains and wholesaler/distributors because they will not have to invest millions of dollars to develop their online shopping presence. By owning the GroceryStreet software they will have more control over managing the application which is based on Microsoft technologies."
"With the recent demise of WebVan and other stand alone warehouse grocery models the online grocery model that is proving successful is the `brick and click` model. Existing grocery stores can offer online service far more competitively priced than the pure play Internet model. Furthermore, with the British firm Tesco coming into the US market, US grocery chains will need to compete with Tesco`s successful online service. In addition, PeaPod has announced profitability in two markets and Publix is starting an online shopping service. Our software allows retailers to get into the game now," says Black.
"By offering online shopping, grocers will be able to increase customer loyalty, reach new markets, and gain competitive advantage," says Black. Consumers using GroceryStreet software are able to shop by meal planners, recipes, nutritional information, specials, or by aisles, and they have the ability to save personalized shopping lists. Other features include product pictures, nutritional information, product suggestions, impulse items, etc. The software allows customers to select groceries for purchase from any Internet connected computer. They`ll be bagged and ready for pick up at a customer-defined time or delivered to their home. To see the software application visit: www.valuecentermarket.com
