The global foodtech market today is primarily a food and grocery delivery business. According to global analytical platforms, the volume of the online food ordering market exceeded $1 trillion at the end of 2023. This growth is due not only to changing consumer habits, but also to the introduction of innovative technologies, such as mobile applications and artificial intelligence systems that improve customer experience and optimize delivery logistics. 

In Belarus, thanks to the development of the product business model in Hi-Tech Park, resident companies are also developing mobile services in the field of online food ordering. For example, a vivid example is the Delivio solution by Delivery Software, which joined the Park in 2019.

Today, Delivio's online platform not only serves more than 300,000 customers, but also provides corporate catering for over 100 organizations, highlighting the high standard and reliability of the service.

Since 2023 Delivery Software has introduced a new feature on its platform Group Shopping Cart that is designed specifically for B2B customers. It allows employees to combine individual orders into a common one, keeping the possibility of separate payment, and can also automatically set up partial or full reimbursement of the cost of orders by the company to employees and contains a number of other convenient features for corporate clients.

Architecture and technology framework

Each employee can create an order through a personal interface and attach it to a shared session, and the data is synchronized with the Delivio platform. This approach ensures that the system works correctly when the order volume is high.

The employee receives a link or code to invite other participants. The session is valid for an unlimited time. Once all participants have selected their menu items, orders are processed and delivered by a single delivery.

Integration with split payment system

One of the key elements of Group Shopping Cart is split payments. Employees choose their payment method and pay for their orders on their own, and the Delivio system links the transactions into a group of orders. This eliminates errors and delays while maintaining security.

Real-time synchronization mechanism

Delivio uses instant synchronization to stay up-to-date. Each order is stored separately and updated in real-time. When changes are made, data is immediately displayed to all participants, preventing errors and duplication. 

Benefits of Delivio's Group Shopping Cart

Time saving and convenience: Employees order and pay for food individually, without coordination from HR.

Optimized delivery: The system selects the optimal delivery time for all participants, reducing costs.

Large group support: The feature easily accommodates simultaneous orders, which is ideal for large teams.

User comfort: The ability to combine orders attracts offices and teams, increasing loyalty.

In a rapidly changing foodtech landscape, the market needs flexible and technologically advanced solutions, and the solutions of Hi-Tech Park residents not only meet the current needs of modern businesses, but also set a new standard for quality and convenience.
