Case study: echeckout and Bunyip IGA Tired of the opposition delivery van driving around our town, the owners looked to see what was available in the online market. It was from here e-checkout was born in collaboration with a local software designer, and with 30 years of retail experience, a new entrant in this market was created. The issues we saw were:

• Multiples of the same products been shown

• Ability to show products that are on file in-store only

• Complex interface • Images missing • Poor customer interaction We now have a thriving new department and offer better than our opposition, offering a same day service, something they cannot match.

We market it and work on it just like every other department. Yes, it is a cost. Like all significant changes, independent supermarkets have coped with online shopping. It is not a going away and is growing. Online shopping data shows us the spend is significantly higher than our normal basket spend and offers a higher GP as the mix of basket is skewed to fresh.
