Our take
Grocery eCommerce has seen rapid growth in the past few years and is expected to see annual sales double to $200B in the US alone by 2027. However, the cost to manually fulfil these online orders still results in a loss, causing online groceries to be more expensive for customers.
Fulfil Solutions is looking to solve these challenges, by offering an automated grocery fulfilment system. Unlike other automation being utilized in the grocery industry, Fulfil's robots do all the picking and packing of groceries for online orders, taking away the manual element and in turn, reducing costs for companies and their customers.
Emerging from stealth the company announced it had received substantial funding to help further its goal of bringing robotic automation to the grocery industry. Through the capital gained, the startup is in a prime position to accelerate its growth and further expand its operations for a bright future full of automation.
