Digital grocery delivery platforms are becoming the rage among startup types in Egypt, driven by a surge in e-commerce solutions, Radwa Rashad writes for Wamda. At least six grocery ecommerce platforms and apps exist, including Knock Mart, Dakakyn, Goodsmart, and Fakahany. Goodsmart, which secured USD 750k in funding from Algebra Ventures, delivers groceries in Sheikh Zayed. “Clients order and pay online, then items are sourced, packaged, and delivered to the client’s address, where they are placed in a previously installed box,” writes Rashad. Fakahany’s business model, akin to that of Amazonfresh, tries to ensure efficient storage and delivery with an eye to ensuring the quality of fruit and veggie deliveries.
