Save A Lot Enhancing NYC Delivery Services
Save A Lot is enhancing its fulfillment solutions for on-demand grocery delivery services with a new partnership with Fabric, a provider of fulfillment automation solutions.
The discount grocer said the improvements to its fulfillment strategy will help it overcome several pain points impacting consumers as they shop for groceries. Among them is the large percentage of consumers who abandon their online shopping carts, which indicates a need for improved logistics and supply chain efficiency.
By improving its fulfillment strategy with Fabric, Save A Lot said this addresses this concern and lays the foundation for long-term customer satisfaction in a market hungry for low-priced, high-quality groceries.
This effort is part of a larger expansion, which includes a push into New York City to enhance last-mile delivery options. Orders placed from the Brooklyn online storefront on the Uber Eats app will be delivered to doorsteps by Uber couriers, bolstering Save A Lot’s ongoing partnership with Uber.
“At Save A Lot, we’re committed to keeping prices low and making sure our customers have access to the essentials, especially as inflation continues to affect household budgets,” said Bill Mayo, chief operating officer at Save A Lot. “Our partnership with Fabric and expansion into micro-fulfillment will streamline operations and allow us to offer accessibility to consumers wherever they are at competitive prices.”
According to information from Save A Lot, Fabric assembles 50-item orders in just 6 to 8 minutes, enabling fast 30-minute pick-up and delivery options.
The partnership’s first-of-its-kind, consumer delivery center will launch this month at the Brooklyn warehouse, where Fabric’s advanced cube-based storage system will automate Save A Lot’s grocery fulfillment exclusively for direct-to-consumer delivery across Brooklyn. Fabric’s solutions streamline operations, boost efficiency, and enhance customer experiences.
“Our partnership with Save A Lot uses advanced automation to tackle one of today's biggest challenges—rising consumer prices,” said Curt Avallone, co-CEO of Fabric. “Our micro-fulfillment technology improves efficiency across the supply chain, helping retailers address the broader operational needs while delivering an exceptional customer experience. We’re proud to support the mission to make quality, affordable groceries more accessible.”
