DELIVENTURES OY
Innovative solutions for online grocery picking and delivery.
– Services for all, profitably
And This Is How It All Began
Deliventures Oy was born from a simple but crucial insight:
While online grocery delivery services are rapidly evolving and demand is growing, implementation is largely limited to urban areas.
This leaves a vast portion of the market – especially rural areas – almost entirely untapped. In Finland and elsewhere in Europe, these regions represent significant potential that current models fail to reach efficiently or profitably.
We set out to solve this problem by developing smart, scalable, and truly need-based technologies and equipment that make grocery picking and delivery possible even beyond city centers – cost-effectively, quickly, and reliably.
OUR GOAL
Our goal is not just to improve what already exists, but to build an entirely new way of implementing logistics for online grocery – for everyone, everywhere.
We want to bring grocery delivery services to those who have previously been excluded, and at the same time enable a sustainable, profitable, and scalable operating model for service providers.
MISSION
Our mission is to make online grocery services accessible to everyone –
by developing smart, cost-efficient, and accessible logistics solutions that enable profitable operations even in rural areas.
VISION
Our vision is to be a pioneer in online grocery logistics –
by building a new, scalable delivery model where technology, efficiency, and accessibility meet. We want to change the way food moves – more responsibly, more smoothly, and in a way that serves everyone.
OPERATIONS
Our solutions are designed to improve the entire supply chain – from picking all the way to delivery.
- Technology and equipment are carefully tailored to each phase of logistics: picking platforms accelerate and systematize product picking, reduce handling steps, lighten physical strain on personnel, and improve ergonomics.
- Mobile and cold-storage-compatible pick-up points allow flexible service without fixed investments – exactly where the customers are.
- Drone delivery technology offers an efficient and innovative solution, especially for sparsely populated and hard-to-reach areas.
Our operations also bring clear savings to current practices. Process optimization, reduced manual steps, and the automation-enabled cost efficiency lead to lower expenses, improved predictability, and higher customer satisfaction.
COOPERATION
Our operations are based on genuine needs and practical understanding.
Cooperation with Suur-Seudun Osuuskauppa (SSO) enables testing and refining our solutions in real-world environments.
This has been essential in the practical development of both our technologies and our operating models.
Through piloting, concepts are tested and developed so they can later be broadly implemented in Finland and international markets.
RESPONSIBILITY AND WELL-BEING
The retail and logistics sectors remain physically demanding. We want to give employers the opportunity to reduce employee workload, lower absenteeism, and prevent work-related ailments and early retirements. When routine work is eased, employees’ time and energy are freed for other, value-creating tasks – this is reflected in both well-being and productivity.
