Grocart Co-founders Hussein Hosni and Nesma Zaghow
Grocart a B2B wholesale marketplace co-founded by Hussein Hosni and Nesma Zaghow aims to transform the grocery retail landscape. Small grocery stores or the ‘minimart’ play a crucial role within communities, fulfilling day-to-day necessities and last-minute requirements. Grocart was incepted with one simple question: “How can we help these small grocery stores and minimarts thrive?”
So, Grocart allows FMCG retailers to source their supplies efficiently, effectively and seamlessly with a couple of clicks through a smart, tech-savvy web application platform. To date, the company has successfully delivered more than 10,000 orders, signed partnership agreements with market-leading suppliers with over 3000 products available on the platform from more than 200 brands.
“Grocery stores are found in every community, big or small. In remote areas and busy streets. There is something about them that is so charming and nostalgic. When the pandemic hit, they remained open, but we noticed some struggled with deliveries or getting items on time. That is why we wanted to create a seamless solution to help them thrive and survive with a click of a finger, after all they are our supply line in time of crisis, in the middle of the night or just because it’s always close by”, added Hussein Hosni, Co-Founder & CEO, Grocart.
The platform differentiates itself by being a one-stop fulfilment centre to all suppliers and distributors, as it provides storage, fulfilment and logistics support, decreasing operational costs by more than 30% and offering 100% coverage with 10X faster supply. Grocart technology can also manage inventory with suppliers, enabling them to reach thousands of customers and sell their wide range of products.
The start-up aims to expand across the MENA region to markets including Saudi Arabia and Egypt after a successful launch in the UAE.
