Uber Eats has announced a partnership with discount grocery chain Save A Lot and robotic storage system provider Fabric to launch automated grocery delivery in Brooklyn, New York. This collaboration, revealed on October 9, 2024, aims to enhance on-demand online order processing and supply chain efficiency. The initiative is part of Save A Lot's broader expansion into the New York market.
The partnership will utilize Fabric's advanced cube-based storage system at a Brooklyn warehouse to automate Save A Lot's grocery fulfillment. This system is capable of assembling 50-item orders in six to eight minutes. Orders placed through the Brooklyn online storefront on the Uber Eats app will be delivered to customers' doorsteps by Uber couriers.
This strategic move allows Uber to expand its presence in the competitive grocery delivery vertical, offering consumers affordable and convenient shopping experiences. The integration of automation is expected to streamline operations and maintain competitive pricing. This partnership underscores Uber's commitment to leveraging technology for efficient last-mile delivery solutions.
