Customers order from a wide product range in the app, and centralized hubs plus optimized routing handle warehousing, picking, and last-mile delivery to homes. It differentiates itself by being app-only with no physical stores, which lowers overhead and enables free delivery in its regions (Netherlands, Germany, and France). Its goal is to make groceries affordable and convenient through a simple app experience while expanding across Europe and forming partnerships to enhance shopping.
