Qwicart is a mobile application that facilitates online grocery shopping from supermarkets.
Grocery shopping can be a tedious and time-consuming engagement for a typical shopper. Usually due to long checkout queues, traffic jam, added to the hassle of finding what you are looking for. The brains behind the Qwicart Application have managed to turn this into an easy, hustle free timely activity, with a lot of focus on user insights on products and the shopping process, plus with the convenience of delivery and scheduled picks.
What stands out about Qwicart is that it's a very data-driven concept whose focus is not merely to impose a new shopping avenue. But to the most, improve and make what is already existent more efficient, convenient, and simple!

One of the challenges Qwicart has come across is with Supermarkets. They lack effective inventory management systems that can harness digital solutions for better optimisation. They are also working on successfully on-boarding every supermarket across the country while also strategically exploring entry into other markets.
With a team of almost 20 people, Qwicart is building a business that will provide lasting solutions both from a convenience perspective but also community transforming. Remember to download the app her for either Android or iOS
