Connecting online shoppers and manufacturers nationwide
through a Goods-to-Person driven online
supermarket
DÜSSELDORF, Germany,
Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Geek+, a global AMR-leader, is pleased to announce that
Geek+ has been selected by myEnso, a German-based pioneer in online
grocery, to upgrade the company's DC for FMCG with a
state-of-the-art goods-to-person robotics solution. Having received
governmental support and financing, the robotics-driven e-commerce
platform will enable regional producers, startups, as well as
well-known brands to connect and serve online shoppers all over
Germany.
Jackson Zhang, Vice President of
Geek+ Europe, says: "We are
excited to see myEnso join our growing European customer base and
view the project as the beginning of an extensive cooperation that
will enable them to streamline logistics operations and better
serve their online customers. Additionally, we can't wait to see
them use our Goods-to-Person solution to boost producers regardless

Geek+ smart robotics systems to improve the efficiency of our
online supermarket and better serve our customers with a wider
selection of products as well as faster deliveries. By allowing us
to flexibly meet fluctuating demand, better handle a wider product
mix, and mitigate against widespread labor shortages, it will
enable us to, not only adapt and grow, but through better services,
drive actual change."
General trends indicate that online grocery shopping will
continue to grow due to the pandemic having led to stay-at-home
living, an increased interest in healthy foods, and
cooking-from-scratch; combined with a general interest in brand
authenticity and local producers, there is a growing need for
online platforms that can connect a wider range of customers and a
