Bulk customers can now browse and purchase a wide range of goods through a fully automated online shopping system, with free delivery within a 50km radius.

Spaza shops and smaller retail businesses often face significant obstacles, including high transportation and fuel costs and difficulty meeting demand from the informal sector. Excess inventory can also result in high maintenance costs, increased risk of theft and cash flow problems.

“We are committed to supporting small businesses by providing innovative solutions to the specific challenges they face,” said Mark Cotton, Head of B2B Ecommerce at Shoprite Group.

“The new Cash & Carry digital platform provides customers with reliable and visible access to inventory and delivery services that eliminate the need to store excess inventory, free up much-needed cash flow and give business owners more time on the shop floor to focus on customers and growing their business.”

In addition, the new system streamlines the purchasing and order fulfillment process for Cash & Carry merchants by allowing them to log in, access customer and product information, create and fulfill orders more efficiently. Orders can be saved for future use, making the entire process more user-friendly.

Multiple payment options online and in-store – including credit and debit cards, EFT, store credit card, cash on delivery and a Shoprite money market account – further enhance customer convenience.

Customers can also benefit from instant cash savings and special offers with Xtra Savings Club.
