- SaaS Platform to Support Delivery of Pesticide-Free Greens,
Fresh Groceries in Virginia
Schuyler Greens Co., which provides pesticide-free greens and a
range of other fresh produce items to customers in Virginia, is
happy to announce it has awarded a SaaS contract for e-commerce,
order management, and last-mile logistics to GetSwift Limited
(Australian Securities Exchange: GSW) as it launches home delivery
through a new website.
Schuyler Greens grows a wide variety of lettuces, salad greens,
herbs, and microgreens, with other produce such as eggs and meats
coming from local and regional providers. The company, which works
with grocers, schools, and other retailers on a b2b basis,
responded to strong demand for home delivery earlier this year when
many people in Virginia were self-isolating.
“We have been happy to work with GetSwift as we expand our
offering of pesticide-free produce and other locally-sourced
groceries across greater Charlottesville and beyond,” said John
McMahon, Founder and Farm Manager at Schuyler Greens Co. “As our
customers increasingly desire fresh foods delivered to their doors,
it was important to have such a technology platform in place.”
GetSwift, which plans to move its stock listing from Australia
to Canada later this year, has recently added several North
American clients. Some of those include The Waterman’s Wife, a
Maryland-based seafood market, Oahu Fresh, a Hawaiian
grocery-delivery company, Good Use, which sells eco-friendly
juices, along with a Vancouver-based dairy and a fruit-delivery
company in Toronto.
GetSwift now powers Schuyler Greens’ e-commerce site, which
accommodates both recurring weekly orders and spontaneous
purchases. Additionally, the GetSwift platform can validate payment
methods upfront, allow customers to modify their standing orders
without making a phone call, and send text notifications. Drivers
also utilize a GetSwift app on tablets that helps with navigation
and order management.
Schuyler Greens intends to expand in multiple ways with the help
of GetSwift. The company plans to add more customers in both
existing towns and new ones, increase the number of items
available, and introduce more local producers.
“I used to be afraid to get too many customers,” Mr. McMahon
said. “Now, I’m thinking ‘bring it on.’ I definitely want to grow
more.”
GetSwift offers global customers a subscription-based cloud
service for businesses with recurring product orders, particularly
within the produce, meal kit, dairy, farm-to-table, water, home and
commercial delivery sectors. The platform brings together four key
components that allow recurring delivery industry sectors to employ
the best methodology for their logistics fulfillment.
