  • As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads rapidly across
    the world, grocery delivery apps have witnessed a
    surge in the number of daily downloads. Be it
    Instacart, Walmart Grocery, or Shipt, all these
    apps have recently set new milestones by
    recording massive increase in daily downloads by
    160, 218, and 124 respectively.
  • Almost all the major industry sectors including
    transportation, travel, capital goods, and
    manufacturing have adversely affected because of
    the coronavirus outbreak. But, even this grim
    situation has opened the doors of new
    opportunities for a few industry sectors. Lets
    go through these sectors.

  • Grocery Delivery Services
  • The first essential item during situations like
    lockdown or virus outbreak is grocery. In this
    couple of months, online grocery delivery apps
    have seen a massive increase in the number of
    downloads.
  • In the most-affected countries like China and the
    USA, people tend to rely on online groceries to
    meet their daily food requirements. It is the
    reason why apps like Instacart and Walmart
    Grocery have seen a massive increase in the
    number of downloads in recent times.
  • Mail and Delivery Services
  • Though the COVID-19 pandemic has affected mail
    and delivery services in speed and efficiency,
    most of the delivery companies are opened. CDC
    has mentioned that there is a very low chance of
    coronavirus spreading through shipped packages
    and products because of poor survivability of the
    virus on the surface.
  • In some countries, on-demand courier delivery
    apps have also worked wonders. People, in
    countries that have considered courier services
    as essential services, can leverage the benefits
    of on-demand courier services through customized
    mobile apps. They can track the consignment and
    get the courier at the doorstep.

  • Food Delivery Services
  • Restaurant companies and third-party delivery
    agencies can boost revenue by facilitating their
    customers to order online. Food delivery apps are
    designed to provide convenience to app users
    while ordering food.
  • Hungry, self-quarantined people can order food by
    using such apps and get delivery at their
    doorsteps. Food delivery apps are a quick,
    convenient, and useful option for people who work
    from home and want to avoid crowded restaurants
    or food zones during the situation of COVID-19
    pandemic.
  • Countries like the US and Spain where the
    outbreak is more disastrous than other countries
    can remain big boosters for the food delivery
    business because people avoid going out all time.
  • Rise of Contactless Delivery
  • Contactless delivery is a new norm for
    restaurants and dining halls. Many reputed brands
    have already adopted a zero-contact approach to
    their deliveries especially to prevent their
    customers and employees from dreaded coronavirus.
    An option is already given in the food delivery
    apps for the users.
  • App users or customers need to select this option
    before placing an order. On selecting the
    contactless option, the delivery person will keep
    the food in front of the customers doorstep
    rather than giving it directly to the customers.

  • The delivery person also waits outside to ensure
    the delivery is collected by the user. Apart from
    contactless delivery, many restaurants and food
    delivery outlets have started implementing best
    practices to minimize the person-to-person
    contact inside and outside the food court.
  • Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many restaurants
    have reduced their staff to make sure that they
    can prevent the impact of coronavirus pandemic.
  • Here we would also like to mention the
    contactless payment solution. Most grocery and
    food delivery apps offer payment gateways for
    swift and secure online payment. Once the app
    users pay by using their credit or debit cards,
    they can get food in a tamper-evident package. In
    a way, they just get rid of going out and
    contacting people for payments.
  • Online Delivery
  • Online retail business is another beneficiary of
    the recent situation. The online retail giant
    Amazon has extended its workforce by 100, 000 in
    the US to meet the surge in online demand of
    various products.
  • However, it faces issues like out-of-stock
    situations or delays in deliveries. Even prime
    customers have to wait for several days due to
    delayed delivery.

  • These issues have compelled it to put a notice
    regarding the unavailability of inventory and
    delivery. As shoppers continue to put orders
    online, even large online retailers also face a
    shortage of items.
  • Concluding Lines
  • The COVID-19 pandemic is spread exponentially
    across the world. Almost all enterprises have
    started taking the brunt of this dreaded disease.
    On one hand, many industries strive to survive,
    and on the other hand, online delivery businesses
    witness a surge in the number of downloads.
  • Customized grocery delivery apps and food
    delivery apps can open new avenues for business
    and help startups thrive in such a challenging
    situation.
  • You can boost your food or grocery delivery
    business while preventing it from the adverse
    effects of coronavirus outbreak through a
    customized mobile app solution.
