Save-On-Foods Implements MyWebGrocer’s Digital Experience Platform
WINOOSKI, Vt. (PRWEB) September 27, 2016 -- MyWebGrocer (MWG), the leading provider of eCommerce and digital marketing solutions to the grocery and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industries, announced that Save-On-Foods has implemented the company’s Digital Experience Platform to power customers’ omnichannel shopping experience. Save-on-Foods is a division of the Overwaitea Food Group, Canada’s largest western-based food store chain.
Save-On-Foods' utilization of MWG’s Digital Experience Platform now enables the grocer to fully integrate all aspects of customers’ online shopping needs, including digital planning, the ability to seamlessly shop across desktop, tablet and mobile devices as well as the ability to provide customers with promotional content based on their local store. MWG’s Digital Experience Platform also provides the company with enhanced order fulfillment and multi-wave picking capabilities that allow click and collect operations to successfully scale, while simultaneously enabling increased operational efficiencies.
“We strive to provide our customers with a superior experience that brings together our digital capabilities and the store, and also ensure that our click and collect operations are as efficient as possible,” said Wayne Currie, Vice President of Information Technology & E-commerce for the Overwaitea Food Group and Save-On-Foods. “We have been a partner with MWG since 2013, and we know that they have a proven track record in the market for delivering profitable and high-growth, digital experiences for next-generation, retail grocers.”
“To effectively navigate the changes created by the proliferation of digital grocery, and take full advantage of the tremendous opportunities for customer experience innovation that omnichannel retailing now provides, grocers will increasingly require a future-proof solution based on a modern software architecture that powers the totality of the customer lifecycle versus bifurcated moments of engagement that too often live in isolation,” said Eric Healy, President of MWG. “We look forward to continuing to provide Save-On-Foods and the Overwaitea Food Group with best-in-class solutions that draw upon 17 years of experience in making our customers' digital grocery initiatives successful and profitable.”
