Goodfood Market Corp. (“Goodfood'' or “the Company”) (TSX:FOOD), a
leading online grocery company in Canada, continues its growth as a
modern online grocer through the launch of one-hour delivery in

groceries is a natural fit and Goodfood is leveraging and expanding
its world class infrastructure to meet client demand with thousands
of unique, high quality grocery items and everyday staples to allow

“We continue to invest in technology, people and
micro-fulfilment infrastructure to address the rapidly increasing
consumer need for faster delivery and convenient grocery options,”

customers are at the center of everything we do, and our launch in
Ottawa enables and empowers Canadians’ food discovery - whether
they are brand new or seasoned home cooks, looking for meal and
kitchen solutions everyday.”
The launch of Ottawa’s micro-fulfilment center
brings over 200 new jobs to the region to complete the automation
technology built in the facility. Goodfood uses Dynamics 365 in
partnership with Microsoft to better serve the expanding and
ever-evolving market. The technology enables streamlined inbound
receiving, communication with suppliers, and inventory count
process, allowing the brand to operate faster, maintain a
customer-centric focus, and increase profitability.
“With Dynamics 365, our team is able to focus on
value-added tasks like sourcing new farms and artisanal producers
that are key to the offering,” says Ferrari. “This partnership and
approach is one of the many initiatives driving our constant
consumer-focused evolution and innovation in the grocery
industry.”
In addition, Goodfood is partnering with
distinct vendors to give customers their local grocery favourites,
in addition to Goodfood’s private label and national brand products
in Ottawa. The Ottawa expansion further supports meaningful grocery
choice and quick, easy access through any device, marking
Goodfood’s continued efforts to redefine how grocery is considered,
incorporated and purchased throughout the user journey.
Launching One-Hour Delivery in Ottawa is one of
the many initiatives behind the brand's drive to innovate the way
Canadians think about and access groceries. The brand continues to
evaluate opportunities for microcenters in new cities over the
coming months further differentiating Goodfood as a unique and
accessible grocery option, pioneering ways to respond to consumer
needs.
