Gilanis Supermarket, a 45-year-old retail outlet in Nakuru, has taken the competition for clients to the next level by launching an online shopping application.
The move is aimed at providing a convenient service to its consumers who may not be able to physically visit the shopping mall.
According to Gilanis Supermarket Limited Chief Executive Faiz Gilani, the application allows shoppers to download it from the Google Play Store on their mobile phones and enjoy a new shopping experience.
"Our customers can now shop in the comfort of their homes because we have developed a user-friendly application and an online site where our clients can easily navigate and buy items which are to be delivered at their doorsteps or any convenient delivery point of their choice," Mr. Faiz said.
Mr. Faiz acknowledged the stiff competition in Nakuru Town but expressed confidence in offering good services and giving customers value for their money.
The new application will also alert clients of new products and their prices, helping them prepare their monthly budget.
Another unique feature of the application is savings, particularly for those placing their orders on wholesale. Clients who buy larger quantities will enjoy huge discounts, with savings on their basket potentially reaching up to 15 percent.
Mr. Faiz also hinted at expanding the services to other towns across the country, with the potential to employ more drivers to deliver items to clients.
