Saigon Co.op Ensures Smooth Transportation and Supply of Goods Amidst Weather Conditions

The number of vehicles diverted by Saigon Co.op from other centers to serve the Northern market has tripled compared to normal days. In addition to specialized vehicles and insulated vehicles, Saigon Co.op Distribution Center has flexibly used compact trucks to move quickly on the roads. Thanks to that, although some areas are flooded, Saigon Co.op still ensures smooth transportation from the whole country to the Northern Distribution Center and from the Center to the Co.opmart and Co.op Food systems.

Increased Supply of Leafy Vegetables and Fruits

Leafy vegetables and fruits are the products most affected by the weather, so Saigon Co.op has increased the supply of these products from Dong Nai, Lam Dong, Da Lat and some provinces in the Southwest. Saigon Co.op has ordered more than 200 tons including water spinach, sweet cabbage, squash, cabbage, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, bell pepper, gourd, pumpkin, grapefruit, banana, mango, watermelon, cantaloupe, orange… from gardeners, cooperatives, business households… and will continuously transport them from the South to the North.

Guiding Suppliers to Deliver Products Directly to Supermarkets

Co.opmart also guides suppliers of livestock and poultry meat to deliver products directly to supermarkets. This way, the products will retain their freshness while maximizing the transportation system of both parties, a representative of Saigon Co.op added.

Extended Service Hours and Increased Staff Support

At each point of sale, Co.opmart has extended its service hours, closing only when the last customer leaves. Co.opmart staff are on duty at the product lines, cash registers, warehouses, etc. to support customers in shopping conveniently and quickly. Purchasing power and the number of customers at the supermarket increased by 50% compared to normal days.

Increased Online Orders and Delivery Solutions

Online orders (via Co.op online website and hotline) increased 2-3 times, focusing on dry food groups such as noodles, vermicelli, instant pho noodles, dry food, milk, and candy. Orders are arranged by staff, with efforts to deliver within the day. For areas with traffic disruption, Co.opmart discusses with customers to find the most convenient delivery solution.

Promotions and Discounts on Essential Items

In addition to ensuring the supply of goods, ensuring food hygiene and safety and stable prices, Co.opmart continues to carry out promotions to bring essential items to deeper discounts.
