Amid recent pandemic shelter in place regulations, consumers have turned to 
online shopping for all essentials, resulting in accelerated adoption of 
grocery ecommerce. This accelerated growth is met with common pain points 
grocers face as they set-up and/or grow their online businesses: retrofitting 
stores to support ecommerce growth and safety protocols, implementing an 
ecommerce platform purpose-built for grocers, and managing a lean, but complex 
store picking and fulfillment operation. Through Digital Goodie, grocers are 
able to develop and scale their online business faster and more effectively 
with a platform that supports the specific needs of grocers while enabling 
superior pick and pack capabilities that maximize labor productivity. Combined 
with WorkJam's platform, grocers can effectively staff their stores and train 
frontline employees on ecommerce related procedures and direct rapid execution 
of store modifications projects.

"As the coronavirus pandemic pushes more grocery shoppers online, stores are 
struggling to keep up with the operations challenges brought on by increased 
customer demand," said Will Eadie, Global Vice President of Sales and Alliances 
at WorkJam. "We know that fostering a sense of customer loyalty comes from 
delivering an excellent employee experience. By providing frontline employees a 
direct line of communication to management and offering training around 
operational change, employers can empower their existing and reboarded 
workforce to deliver a high-quality ecommerce service experience to customers 
that is profitable for grocers." 

Given the two companies' API framework, the combined offering enables grocers 
with fulfillment, task management, targeted communication, training, and pick 
and pack gamification for frontline employees under a single integrated 
solution. Being able to provide employee training and communication around 
updated processes allows organizations to scale their online businesses without 
becoming inundated with the online transactions that take focus away from 
operations.

"The combined functionality of WorkJam and Digital Goodie platforms enable 
grocers to create an unparalleled digital online grocery experience for 
consumers and drives profitability," said Moris Chemtov, Global CEO at Digital 
Goodie. "Grocery e-commerce comes with unique challenges that other retailers 
have not had to deal with. These challenges are exactly what the partnership 
focuses on. Grocers sell thousands of SKUs that frequently range from 
fresh-foods, dry-goods to prepared foods, they must work closely with brand 
partners on promotions and have a mechanism for picking in the stores that is 
highly efficient. In addition, they must retrofit stores and rapidly train 
frontline employees on e-commerce related procedures."

WorkJam and Digital Goodie's combined suite of solutions can be applied to 
other sectors of retail, restaurants, and manufacturing to improve order 
management for the omnichannel experience. WorkJam's customers include 
enterprises like Shell, Woolworths, and Ulta Beauty while Digital Goodie serves 
customers such as Co-op UK and S-Group of Finland.
