UK convenience store chain One Stop is set to double the amount of items available for home delivery to more than 2,000 SKUs. This is thanks to new software that more competently links in-store availability to what will appear online.

The Deliverect software is due to be fully operational in December before it is to be rolled out to its first franchise store. The system will work with Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat, that offer just 1,000 SKUs.

According to One Stop, the Deliverect system will boost the speed at which the stock is updated on the home delivery platforms – an important factor as all online orders are picked from within stores. It is also set to improve picking accuracy and reduce fulfilment times.

“Deliverect will provide stores with a simplified process allowing them to manage multiple delivery partner services within their store,” said One Stop head of online Tim Josephs.

“It allows us to manage more tasks centrally, helping to save time for our store colleagues and franchises. This means order picking will become more efficient, menu availability can be managed more effectively, and we can generate menus all in one place.

“Another added benefit is that we’re able to gain greater insights from each specific store, allowing us to continually improve our offer and the performance of each store in their online offering.”
