Dubai Economy facilitates partnerships between Emirates Cooperative Society, fulfilment partners to ease online shopping

Dubai Economy has instrumented alliances between supermarket chain Emirates Cooperative Society  with online fulfillment partners Talabat, Careem and Dukkaani to improve contactless shopping for customers across Dubai.

The fulfilment partners will showcase up to 4,000 products of Emirates Cooperative Society, as well as deliver them to customers within 60-90 minute from the time of purchase made online.

The number of products will be increased in due course depending on consumer demand and feedback, Dubai Media Office reported.

Early this year, Emirates Cooperative Society launched its mobile e-commerce app to ease online shopping, which would be facilitated further with alliances with online fulfillment partners.

“We are delighted to coordinate this partnership, which reflects our strategic goal of educating the business community and consumers on the need to adhere to precautionary measures to ensure the safety and security of all members of the community. More nationals and residents are using smart applications to support the precautionary measures of social distancing,” said Omar Al Meheiri, director of follow-up and development in the business registration and licensing sector in Dubai Economy.
