Grocery Mobile App

Small stores usually create a grocery app to retain their existing customers and improve the in-store experience instead of to attract new customers. Small businesses tend to use out-of-the-box solutions for their mobile apps because of limited budgets and small feature sets that include listings and the ability to order delivery.

Applications for large grocery store networks tend to be feature-rich, offering listings, loyalty programs, online payments and orders, and various delivery options such as store pick-up from store or home delivery. Such applications also have geolocation features that allow customers to find the chain’s stores. Grocery chain apps collect information on purchases and customer locations and can send highly personalized notifications based on that information.

Aggregator apps work as mediators between stores and buyers, allowing users to choose products from different stores in one place. Apps for aggregator marketplaces usually earn money by charging a fee for each order. In exchange, stores get an online presence and get perks such as marketing and access to a new audience.
