online grocery

[Manders]

Hi there,

I am currently writing my master thesis on online grocery and the problems of that sector.

If anyone could provide me with articles, market research studies, News, reports or any other information about this sector, please let me know.


Thanks a lot.

There are 2 main approaches to online groccery

a) Setup your own distribution network

b) Partner with an existing grocery store

The later option, has been proven to be most succesful.

Issues Involved:
---------------
a) Delivery (operational & timing windows)
b) Requirement of Refridgerated Trucks
c) Payment Method (usually credit-card)


My company is considering setting up an online grocery store for a local grocer right now. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this technology in further detail.
