Grocery Shopping On Your iPhone
17th July , 2009
US : Ocada have announced their latest software “On the Go”, which enables iPhone and iPod touch users to shop for household groceries. The company has thousands of household groceries to browse though and orders are delivered in a chosen one-hour time slot.
Main Features:
- An entire supermarket at your fingertips. Shop for everything from delicious food and drink to homeware, books, toys and much more.
- Shop for groceries on the move. Place a brand new order or just add an item you’ve forgotten to your next order.
- Works in complete harmony with Ocado.com. Seamless syncing means you can start an order on one and complete it on the other.
- Get your next order started in a flash. Use Your Instant Shop to create a typical order for you, based on your previous deliveries.
- Shop even if you’re offline. Our catalogue of over 18,000 products is stored on your phone, so you can keep shopping even if you go through a tunnel. As soon as your Internet connection returns, your order will update automatically.
- Same day ordering. Place an order for same day delivery while commuting to work. (Not available in all areas.)
- Shop from your kitchen (or wherever you like). Check your cupboards and fridge as you shop, so you’ll never run out of eggs or buy a duplicate jar of mixed herbs by mistake.
Using the new application enables many of the functions previously undertaken on the Ocado website to be performed on the iPhone.
“On the Go” can also be used both offline and online, enabling you to browse the catalogue even when you don’t have internet access.
