Sri Lanka’s first ever end-to-end fully- integrated online supermarket launched
View(s):SUPERBOX, Sri Lanka’s first ever end-to-end fully-integrated online supermarket specialising in grocery has been launched to cater to households all over Sri Lanka.
The service intends to deliver groceries and other items swiftly, conveniently and safely to the doorstep. SUPERBOX is geared to offer a wide range of products to customers across categories of fresh, chilled, frozen and dry.
Spearheaded by Sidath Kodikara – former CEO of Cargills, and Dulith Herath – Founder of Kapruka.com, SUPERBOX will provide a wide-range of items from fresh, chilled, frozen and dry categories, the company said in a media release.
“Strengthened by a tier-1 warehouse management system, world class ERP solutions, a top tier e-commerce platform and unparalleled last mile delivery by industry expert professional organisations, SUPERBOX plans to reach out to customers across the island. All purchases from SUPERBOX will be hygienically packed with strict guidelines to ensure safety and delivered in sealed boxes,” it said.
In addition to serving customers living in Sri Lanka, SUPERBOX will offer a convenient service to Sri Lankan expatriates living around the world to send essentials, groceries and gifts to their friends and families at home.
The two founders of SUPERBOX count over 20 years of experience in their respective industries (retail and e-commerce); a fact that cemented the successful and steadfast nature of their new venture.
“We worked on the idea of creating the ideal solution to offer convenience, speed and safety to customers. SUPERBOX is the product of our carefully mapped, well-researched and resourced work to create an online supermarket that will cater to the needs of Sri Lankans across the nation. While the pandemic triggered the change in consumer behaviour and increased reliance on e-commerce, we believe that this trend will continue beyond this period,” said Mr. Herath.
SUPERBOX will provide customers an exceptionally wide range of products on a platform that is easy to navigate. In addition to other products available at supermarkets, SUPERBOX will provide a limited range of gourmet products and ensure the freshness of fruits and vegetables on offer.
“In forming SUPERBOX, we are committed to venture out to eco-friendly approaches. As such, packaging options with biodegradable material including banana stem fiber packaging. Moreover, we wish to help local industries during these challenging times,” noted Mr. Kodikara.
