Although online shopping is growing steadily worldwide, shopping online for chilled or frozen goods is currently not as easy as shopping for items such as shoes, furniture or electronics. It will be beneficial for customers to have the ability to shop conveniently online for all types of groceries, including chilled and frozen products, and have them delivered fresh, regardless of location.
Claiming to offer a smart logistical solution to challenges involving temperature-controlled products, ordering frozen or chilled products from online store will now become feasible due to iFoodbag.
With several patents pending and will now be available worldwide, iFoodbag is developed by Swedish start-up iFoodbag, which was founded in 2013.
