The Derby digital technology firm behind Morrison’s NHS food boxes concept is set for growth.
Orderly, previously known as Easywebstore, based at Role Mill in Canal Street, was commissioned by the supermarket giant to help customers and NHS workers get everyday essentials without visiting a store.
The boxes contain £30 of groceries and offer free delivery directly to the door.
The team at Orderly were able to have the solution up and running within just six days.
Peter Evans, chief executive at Orderly, said: “When we heard about the proposition to support NHS staff and Morrisons customers who may be struggling due to shift times and supermarket shortages to get the essentials they need we were eager to help.
“We are food and beverage sector specialists and our niche is in business-critical supply chain technology, so we had the systems, ability and experience to roll-out a fantastic solution for Morrisons in very short order.
“It has been fantastic to see what a difference it has made to so many key workers and their families after the team put in a lot of ours for this fantastic cause.”
Now, with business booming as retailers and suppliers seek more agile solutions, Orderly is looking to add five new faces to its team, covering development, project management, service analysis, design and marketing.
