Rapid delivery platform, Snappy Shopper, has celebrated a record-breaking December, alongside customer Hayat’s Premier Store in Dundee, which reached a milestone of over £200,000 worth of deliveries over the same period.
Snappy marked its most significant growth since 2020 with £14m monthly Gross Merchandise Value for December and 42% year-on-year growth in weekly trading volumes, with an average order value of £29 – nearly four times the typical in-store transaction value (the Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) Local Shop Report, 2024).
Meanwhile, Hayat’s Premier Store generated so much business through Snappy Shopper during December that, at times, it achieved more deliveries per hour than a nearby supermarket. Owner Akky Hayat said: “Snappy Shopper has revolutionised how we serve our community. Achieving more than £200,000 in deliveries in one month exceeded our expectations and highlighted the incredible potential of quick commerce. The platform’s efficiency allows us to deliver faster and more effectively than even larger supermarkets at peak times. It’s proof that independent stores can compete and succeed in the digital age.”
Mike Callachan, CEO of Snappy Shopper. “This growth reflects a global shift in consumer behaviour, with q-commerce becoming an essential part of everyday life. Snappy Shopper is proud to be the trusted partner guiding retailers digital transformation.
“It has never been more important to tap into the growth and profitability opportunity available online. We are ready to play our part, enabling retailers to take the best of what they do in store to digital consumers, and we expect to more than double the number of stores using our technology again in the next 12 months.”
He added: “Quick commerce is where the future of retail is headed. Brands and retailers not yet on board risk missing out on a significant growth opportunity. By leveraging Snappy Shopper’s proven platform, they gain a safe pair of hands in navigating this exciting new frontier.”
