Ubamarket - ahead of the game

Supermarkets are under pressure to implement retail technology that remedies consumer pain-points around the time it takes to shop in-store. We developed Ubamarket two years ago, seeing the need first-hand for a solution that helps supermarkets keep their customers happy by providing a shopping app that offers an easier and more efficient way to shop.

It’s take a while for supermarkets themselves to wake up to the need to innovate or die, but now, with the recent launch of Amazon Go, we’re seeing major retailers develop and launch their own technology platforms. Last week Co-op revealed their ‘shop, scan and go’ service, which allows customers to scan their barcodes and pay without using a till. This is an innovation Ubamarket has trialled, tested and launched as an original well ahead of the big players – we’re also proud to have gone well beyond by developing a seamless, all-encompassing offering that is in hot demand in the UK and globally.

Superseding Co-op’s offering, Ubamarket provides scanning and in-app payment along with shopping list aisle navigation, live automated offers, real-time loyalty tracking and more. We’ve now rolled out across the UK’s Warner’s Budgens portfolio and we’re soon to be launched as a white-labelled app for several other major retailers – stepping in as the competition!

If supermarkets want to keep ahead with their technology, the solution is to put everything in the one place. Yes in-app payment is in high demand, but with our Retail Trends Report showing 54% of shoppers use shopping lists, 74% are more likely to add an item to their basket if it’s on offer and 25% have no idea how many points are on their loyalty card or how to find out, we understand that retail innovation needs to serve all these needs. Having formulated a platform that does this all, Ubamarket eliminates the need for loyalty cards, provides a place to keep your shopping list, making shopping a whole lot easier – beyond just avoiding checkouts.

Ubamarket transforms all components of a UK food shop into one app-based IOS and Android solution – a yet unrivalled proposition from the current supermarket offering…and one that’s been in development before all the rest!
