Bringg, the leading delivery and fulfillment orchestration platform provider, and METRO Inc., a food and pharmacy leader in Québec and Ontario with a network of some 950 stores and some 650 drugstores, announced a partnership that will help METRO provide a relevant omnichannel customer experience, especially as more consumers are adopting online shopping as part of their shopping habits. In doing so, METRO will offer more flexible options to their customers to get their grocery, including contactless delivery and curbside pickup, and improve operational efficiencies with dynamic routing and smart in-store operations.

In light of COVID-19, consumers have changed purchasing behaviors, integrating online shopping to purchase food. In doing so, consumers still expect the same experience online as they are used to experiencing in-store, especially when it comes to fulfillment. Bringg’s robust delivery and fulfillment orchestration platform provides METRO with the capabilities needed to pivot with consumer expectations and properly support end-to-end grocery solutions.
