(Oslo, Norway, February 2, 2020) StrongPoint today announced that the on-demand
delivery platform unicorn Glovo has chosen StrongPoint as its preferred partner
for grocery picking technology.

As Europe's fastest-growing delivery company, Glovo has an estimated valuation
of over USD 1 billion making it a technology 'unicorn'. The company is present
in 22 countries around the world. Glovo provides on-demand groceries via its
retail grocery partners which include Walmart, Carrefour and Spar, and saw
unprecedented levels of growth due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

The terms of the partner licence agreement allow Glovo to be the first to use
StrongPoint's SAAS cloud-based third generation picking technology.
StrongPoint's technology is to be integrated into Glovo's logistics platform and
used by grocery retailers to process online orders. 

The first project of the partnership will be deploying the technology to a
leading grocery chain in Europe and is expected to start in Q1 2021. The intent
is to deploy StrongPoint's third-generation grocery picking technology to other
countries where Glovo is partnering with local and international grocery
retailers and for StrongPoint to earn recurring revenue through those channels. 

"The on-demand economy has changed rapidly in 2020 with delivery providers
around the world pivoting to offer grocery deliveries due to increased demand
following the pandemic. Glovo's selection of StrongPoint as its picking
technology partner underlines the vast global potential for our scalable grocery
picking solution," said Jacob Tveraabak, CEO of StrongPoint. 

"Our customers expect us to be effective and efficient, delivering orders with
speed and accuracy. StrongPoint has a proven track record of supplying retailers
and grocery stores with highly efficient picking solutions that make fulfilling
online orders faster. Every day we are onboarding more grocery store partners
and we want to provide them with the easiest way to pick and pack the groceries
orders so we can deliver it to the customer as quickly as possible," said Daniel
Alonso, Vice President of Q-Commerce at Glovo.
