Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
Street addresses do not always guide delivery drivers to the right entrance and some postcodes cover large areas. What3words has divided the world into a grid of 3m squares and given each a unique What3words address, which is made of three dictionary words.
Kristof Van Beveren, co-founder and chief executive of Weezy, said: “With lockdown easing in the UK, we know that friends and family want to get together safely outside and we wanted to make it simple for them to get quality products anywhere. Now they can meet for a picnic or even a barbecue on the beach without having to carry anything there. Weezy can deliver a full shop or just some beers.
“It’s convenience without compromise. Whether a hard-to-find home, a Lucozade to a tired rower, nappies to a mum on a bench, or even dog treats for that puppy on the green – you simply add in your What3words address on checkout and sit back while you wait for your Weezy delivery.”
Chris Sheldrick, Co-founder and chief executive of what3words, added: “Consumer expectations for on-demand deliveries are rising. They expect fast deliveries, without holdups, and without having to pick up the phone to give directions. Weezy’s relationship with What3words helps to exceed those expectations with quick and accurate deliveries to exactly where their customers want them.”
Weezy launched in London last year, in Bristol and Brighton last month, and is also continuing its national expansion into the Manchester area today (16 April).
Customers can sign up now by downloading the Weezy app and What3words app on the App Store and Google Play.
