Shoprite said in a statement, “Bulk-buying customers can now browse and purchase a wide range of goods.”

“The goods will be at highly competitive prices through a fully automated online shopping system, with free delivery within a 50km radius,” 

The company went on to add that Spaza shops and smaller retail businesses often face significant obstacles.

The obstacles include high transportation and fuel costs, and difficulties in meeting demand within the informal sector.

Overstocking can also result to high carrying costs, increased risk of theft, and cash flow challenges,

Shoprite Development To Eliminate Commerce Obstacles

Head of business-to-business e-commerce for Shoprite, Mark Cotton, “The new Cash & Carry digital platform provides customers with reliable and visible stock access and delivery services.”

“This eliminates the need to store excess inventory, free up much-needed cash flow, and gives business owners more time on the shop floor to focus on their customers and business growth.”
