What is Shopper? Shopper Review, Features

Shopper is a subscription-based monthly delivery service for non-perishable food items, toiletries, beverages, utilities and even pet food or craft beer.

Development prospects

As of August 2019, Shopper provides services in more than 500 cities such as Sao Paulo, Santana de Paneba and Baruri. However, the market is now also fierce among rivals such as Rappi, iFood and even Walmart that provide express delivery services to retailers. Shopper's new funds will reportedly be used to expand and implement new marketing strategies. Shopper offers more than 2,000 products, and its monthly on-demand delivery model has immeasurable prospects.

Unique Features

In June 2019, the startup had already raised R$4.5 million (about $1.1 million) from Canary. Fortunately, the company's financing will not stop there. One of the reasons why Shopper is so attractive to investors is that the startup can accurately predict which products will be delivered within a month. This way, the company can better keep its inventory and reduce costs. Another unique thing about the company is its business model - it does not have any supermarket partners or procurement staff. Instead, all products are purchased directly from the industry and sent to the company's distribution center in the Barra Funda area of ​​São Paulo, which further reduces costs. "Sending people to the market to purchase products increases supply chain costs. As a result, our costs can be reduced by 12%."

Serve

Shopper offers a monthly subscription delivery service that delivers non-perishable food, cosmetics, beverages, utilities, pet food or craft beer. It is a simple process based on consumer needs and consumption. Consumers simply add their necessities to a virtual shopping cart and the platform arranges the delivery. Importantly, consumers don’t have to worry about products being sold out because the platform is able to predict users’ needs. It sends emails or text messages to remind customers before the stock is sold out. "Our goal is to help consumers organize and plan their purchases, providing them with what they need, such as toothpaste or toilet paper, before the product is sold out," said Fabio Blanco, CEO of Shopper. In addition to packing up all the products consumers need and delivering them to their doorstep, the company also offers better prices compared to some competitors. When shopping on this platform, consumers can compare prices and see how much money they are saving through Shopper.
