On this episode of Talking Shop I am joined by Zipline CEO and co-founder Melissa Wong. We discuss how Melissa’s 10 years’ of frontline experience informed her approach to building a SaaS company, the recurring operational frustrations that most head offices still underestimate, and why she believes technology should be designed with the store associate as the primary user. We also explore current trends in store execution and how retailers can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and the shop floor.

Sainsbury’s has announced the expansion of its Chop Chop bicycle delivery service to 20 cities in the UK, as it rolls out the scheme outside of London for the first time.

The service, which enables customers to order up to 20 products from the ‘Big four’ grocer via the Chop Chop app, will allow customers  to have their shopping delivered from a local Sainsbury’s store.

Once the 50-store roll out is completed, around 3.2 million households will be able to get Sainsbury’s groceries delivered directly to their door within an hour.

Chop Chop has been introduced in Bristol and Brighton with Manchester, Reading and Richmond, Morden, Charlton and Harringay in Greater London to follow next week. 

The supermarket has first introduced the scheme across London in April and also piloted making deliveries from closed convenience stores for the first time.

The rapid expansion will support Sainsbury’s efforts to increase the total number of online delivery slots for its groceries online service to 600,000 per week.

Clodagh Moriarty, chief digital officer at Sainsbury’s, said: “We are doing everything we can to feed the nation and offer our customers quick, convenient and safe ways to get their groceries. 

“Demand for home grocery deliveries has never been higher and we have been receiving great feedback for Chop Chop, with customers really valuing the speed and convenience it brings. By rolling Chop Chop out to 50 stores in 20 cities across the country, even more customers can get what they need delivered to their door.”
