Stor.ai Partners with Trax to Add On-Demand Picking to One-Stop E-Commerce Solution for Grocers

TEL AVIV, Israel, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Stor.ai, (fka Self Point) the end-to-end digital commerce solution for grocers, today announced a new partnership with Trax, a leading computer vision company transforming brick-and-mortar retail. Through the partnership, stor.ai and Trax will equip North American grocery retailers with a one-stop, holistic solution for processing, fulfilling, and delivering online orders. Combining stor.ai's Picking App and Trax's on-demand crowd marketplace will enable retailers to respond to online order surges efficiently and cost-effectively.

The Covid-19 pandemic expedited the shift toward online grocery shopping. The projected total value of digital grocery sales in 2025 is now 60 percent higher than pre-pandemic estimates. The e-commerce boom has intensified demand on grocers, who cannot prosper without widespread online activity and therefore need new methods to make picking, delivery and collection services more cost-effective.

Stor.ai's partnership with Trax allows grocers to respond to this rapid transformation. As a result of the partnership, stor.ai will incorporate Trax Flexforce, an on-demand crowd marketplace, into its holistic, one-stop offering for grocers, enabling them to fully integrate their digital and physical presence. Stor.ai's online platform includes a white-label e-commerce solution seamlessly integrated with grocers' legacy systems, and a Picker-App, which customizes and maps in-store grocery fulfillment. Trax Flexforce's on-demand crowd marketplace provides access to more than 1.4 million experienced retail representatives across North America and supplies stores with the right person for the task through its proprietary matching algorithm that processes store experience, location, and workload. Together, stor.ai and Trax will pave the way to empower grocers to keep up with demand, both in-store and online.

"With the exponential increase in online sales there is a clear need to provide holistic solutions for retailers to provide customers with positive online shopping experiences without straining their budgets," said Mendel Gniwisch, EVP Business Development, stor.ai. "I am delighted to partner with Trax, a trailblazer in the industry, to further our ambition to create a one-stop solution which is easily accessible for all kinds of grocers, who are constantly striving to preserve their unique and distinguishing features while offering consumers the conveniences they have come to expect."

"Our partnership with stor.ai further enables us to meet the growing demand for transformational solutions to longstanding retail pain points," said Bob Kothari, chief revenue officer of Trax. "With online grocery shopping continuing to rise, we are pleased to partner with stor.ai to help retailers adapt to this unprecedented period of industry growth."
