NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA - A landmark retail integration has taken place for some of our Northern neighbors in the grocery space. It was announced that Empire Company Limited and Longo's have brought together their two e-commerce businesses, Grocery Gateway and Voilà. This partnership offers over 23,000 products from Sobeys, Farm Boy, and Longo's, all on one platform.

"We have worked with Voilà to reimagine a better delivery experience for our guests. Customers will now be able to order the Longo's products and fresh items they love, paired with the convenience and ease of Voilà," said Deb Craven, President of Longo's.

According to a press release, Voilà orders are delivered from a state-of-the-art, automated warehouse where robots help assemble orders before they are distributed directly to homes in convenient one-hour delivery windows.

The first phase of Grocery Gateway Guests will now be redirected to the Voilà platform to place their orders. Longo's customers will have the ability to transfer their account information, shopping lists, and past purchases to Voilà.

"Voilà offers an unparalleled online grocery home delivery experience, with 99 percent order accuracy and 95 percent on-time delivery. Adding Longo's products, including fresh meat, bakery, and prepared foods only strengthens our offering for our customers. Voilà, we deliver Sobeys, Farm Boy, and Longo's," said Sarah Joyce, Senior Vice President, E-Commerce of Empire.

We will be keeping our eyes on these innovative retail chains, so stick with us.
