URB-IT. THE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION TO SAME-DAY CITY DELIVERIES.
WHY URB-IT?
Consumer demands for fast and convenient shopping services are increasing and ever-changing. Research also shows that consumers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for better services when given the choice. Increased emphasis is placed on how last mile delivery services should “go the extra mile”.
As a result, retailers are facing new challenges on how to adapt and meet consumer demands. Physical stores need innovative solutions to stay competitive in a development largely driven by e-commerce.
As an innovative last mile delivery startup, Urb-it solves these challenges by offering a fast and convenient way of shopping, interconnecting consumers with physical stores. Whether online or offline, marketplace or retail, the customer can book a delivery with Urb-it at whatever time and place is most suitable. The order is delivered on time and personally, whether the customer is at home, at the office, in a café or at the gym. Urb-it is focused on developing the company’s technical platform and on enabling retailers to connect to Urb-it.
Urb-it’s shopping service was initially launched and tested in Stockholm. Following acceptance of the company’s concept, the service was subsequently rolled out in Paris, London, Gothenburg and Lyon
