INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR ONLINE GROCERY LOGISTICS
Deliventures Oy is a Finnish company that develops innovative logistics solutions for the needs of online grocery commerce. We offer efficient, modular, and scalable picking and transportation solutions that streamline the logistics process and enable profitable business operations even in sparsely populated areas.
Targeted solutions for picking and distribution in online grocery retail enable the principal to achieve significant cost savings and more efficient use of time.
SOLUTIONS
PICKING PLATFORMS
Deliventures picking platforms are specifically designed for product picking in a retail environment, making them an essential part of efficient online grocery logistics. Their dimensions, load capacity, and storage solutions have been developed to support exactly this process, enabling smoother and faster picking.
The optimal size and structure of the picking platform allow for quick and systematic placement of products. The modular nature of the platform allows for direct loading into transport vehicles without repacking, reducing manual handling and speeding up the delivery process.
BENEFITS:
- Reduction of work phases – Unnecessary handling steps are eliminated, reducing workload and the risk of errors.
- More efficient logistics – Faster picking processes improve delivery flow and enable handling of larger volumes.
- Lighter and more ergonomic work – Reduction in manual handling decreases physical strain, improves work well-being, and reduces repetitive strain injuries.
- Flexibility and scalability – Picking platforms can be integrated with different e-commerce platforms and logistics models.
MOBILE PICK-UP POINT
A mobile and temperature-controlled pick-up point significantly improves the accessibility of online grocery shopping, as it can be placed exactly where it is needed. This enables cost-effective deliveries even to sparsely populated areas.
The mobile pick-up point operates independently without constant staffing, meaning it can be left in place and customers collect their orders on their own schedule. This allows for savings in personnel costs.
BENEFITS:
- Optimized space usage – Designed so that products collected from the store can be placed directly into the pick-up point without unnecessary handling, thus saving space in the store.
- Cold storage ensures product safety – Enables the storage of products at optimal temperatures, allowing for an expanded product range.
- Scalable solution for different areas and customer groups – Can be relocated as needed and routes optimized based on demand and customer flow.
The mobile pick-up point reduces transportation costs and improves the logistics and service capability of online grocery commerce, especially in rural areas and other challenging delivery zones. This makes it a central part of cost-effective and customer-oriented delivery systems.
DRONE DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY
Drone delivery technology introduces a modern solution for fast and flexible deliveries, especially in rural areas and hard-to-reach locations where traditional logistics are challenging and expensive. Airborne deliveries free up personnel resources, eliminate the limitations of traditional road transport, and allow significantly faster deliveries compared to conventional distribution methods.
Drones are particularly well-suited for urban and semi-urban areas where minimal infrastructure allows for efficient flight operations. Delivery routes can be optimized directly based on the customer’s location, without the need for long ground transports or waiting times for delivery vehicles.
BENEFITS:
- Fast and reliable deliveries – Drones deliver products directly to customers without traffic congestion or logistical barriers.
- Freeing up human resources – Autonomous delivery reduces the need for drivers, improving resource management and optimizing logistics.
- Flexibility and accessibility – Suitable for areas where traditional transport is difficult, such as archipelagos, mountainous regions, and remote locations.
- Ecological and energy-efficient solution – Airborne deliveries reduce traffic emissions and support sustainability goals.
- Real-time tracking and control – Autonomous delivery units enable real-time monitoring and control of logistics operations.
Drone delivery is an advanced solution that streamlines logistics chains, enhances the customer experience, and makes online grocery services even more accessible, regardless of the customer’s location.
PROBLEM
The logistics of online grocery shopping is a multi-stage process that includes several repetitive and manual steps, such as picking, transfers, sorting, and delivery. These processes are characterized by inefficiency and labor intensity, as current solutions are not optimized for the specific needs of online grocery logistics.
In particular, online grocery picking and delivery services are relatively new, and the market lacks dedicated equipment or technology developed for this purpose. In major cities, these services have already evolved to be efficient due to short distances and high demand, but the situation is different in rural areas. Long distances, sparse populations, and fluctuating demand peaks make logistics significantly more challenging and costly.
In the current operating model, many repetitive tasks increase costs and slow down processes. The model relies heavily on manual labor and burdensome business infrastructure, which strains staff and raises delivery costs. Without targeted solutions, scaling operations profitably is difficult.
SOLUTION
Deliventures Oy has identified these challenges and develops solutions that optimize online grocery logistics both in urban centers and rural areas. Modular picking and transportation solutions reduce unnecessary handling, shorten delivery times, and enable cost-efficient operations even in sparsely populated areas. Innovative technologies, such as relocatable pick-up points and automatic loading solutions, can significantly improve logistics flow and reduce operational costs across the delivery chain.
Concrete actions to address the issue:
- Picking platforms – Modular platforms designed for product picking. Reduce unnecessary transfers and improve efficiency.
- Mobile pick-up points – Smart, temperature-controlled trailers that function as mobile pick-up locations, enhancing delivery flexibility.
- Drone delivery technology – Opportunities to utilize drones for deliveries in remote and rural areas.
In the future, the success of online grocery shopping will not rely solely on demand, but also on how efficiently the logistics chain can be built to meet the needs of different regions.
Deliventures develops solutions that bring agility and profitability to online grocery logistics.
