Den sunde grab-and-go virksomhed Vital Ingredient har lanceret sin første app til sine kunder. Den lanceres i hele England, i 19 forskellige butikker.
App’en er designet med det formål at forbedre belønninger og fordele til loyale kunder. Samtidigt kan Vital Ingredients kunder nu forudbestille mad som de bare skal afhente, og som kan betales via app’en.
App’en gør det langt nemmere for kunden at hente sin bestilling, det bliver nemmere at se, og bruge sine fordele som loyal kunde, samt at få den kostvejledning som er en del af menuerne. App’en er tilgængelig på App Store og Google Play. Yderligere forbedringer vil inkludere en leverings-funktion, samt gøre det muligt også at bestille online via hjemmesiden.
”Det har lige fra begyndelsen været vores ambition med app’en at lette bestilling og afhentning. Det er nøglen, når det handler om at mindste kø tiden, når der er travlest i vores butikker. Desuden er vores mål at strømline og forbedre bestillings-processen fra start til slut” – udtaler Vital Ingredient MD Paolo Peretti.
“App’en gør det muligt at forudbestille og betale, så kunderne kun behøver at hente deres bestilling ved et sted for afhentning. Undersøgelser forudser at dette vil blive en ekstremt velmodtaget mulighed, og vi glæder os til at sætte sejl, indenfor de næste få måneder.”
Andrew White, CEO hos Preoday, firmaet som star bag app’en, forklarer hvorfor det er så vigtigt at kunne forudbestille: Alle virksomheder I restaurationsbranchen kæmper med at sikre deres kunders loyalitet. Vi er beæret over at Vital Ingredient har valgt os til at hjælpe dem med at løfte denne opgave, ved hjælp af mobil og online bestilling. Nu kan Vital Ingredients kunder bestille, betale, og samle point for loyalitet, lige derfra hvor de nu engang står. Og de kan afhente deres ordre ved det nærmeste sted til afhentning. Kunderne vil opleve en uovertruffen service I hele processen med forudbestilling.
“Preoday giver alle sine kunder indsigt I sine kunders aktiviteter så de kan følge udviklingen live. Det er den bedste måde at få indsigt i sine kunders vaner og behov. Dataen er 100% præcis, og virksomhederne vil derfor kunne skræddersy sine tilbud til sine kunder.
I fremtiden planlægger Vital Ingredient at introducere en push notification, som for eksempel kan tiltrække forbipasserende ved hjælp af vejr-relateret tilbud. De vil desuden skræddersy tilbud til deres forskellige butikker, og lade dem tilbyde kunderne de tilbud som vil blive bedst taget imod.
App’en starter ud med en lille lancering i marts, med udgangspunkt I de allerede eksisterende Club Vital medlemmer. Derefter udvider Vital Ingredient og går efter nye medlemmer, med et mål på 50,000, ved udgangen af 2017.
It’s not as catchy as: ‘When is a door not a door?’ (answer, when it’s a jar) but it speaks to the idea that in-car collection, and the technologies that support it, are flexible enough to bend to the needs of a business and its guests.
Delivery can be daunting to the uninitiated, and it might be tempting to sign up with a third-party ordering aggregator that offers the service, such as UberEats, but other options could suit your business and brand better. Here we present three different ‘levels’ of delivery, starting with the most basic – and cheapest method: doing it yourself.
Healthy grab-and-go group Vital Ingredient has launched its first consumer app in 19 stores nationwide, designed to streamline the loyalty process and allow customers to order food and drink for collection, as well as pay with the app.
The app will provide a more efficient process for collecting, viewing and spending loyalty points, as well as access to nutritional information and menus. The app is available from the App Store and Google Play. Future developments will include a delivery function and online ordering from the website.
‘Customers being able to order delivery and collection was always a main requirement when we began developing the app. It’s a key feature to help manage the queues in stores at peak times, and really streamlines the ordering process from start to finish,” says Vital Ingredient MD Paolo Peretti.
“The app makes it possible to order and pay in advance, then just pop in and pick up the order from a designated fridge area. Research suggests the feature will be extremely popular and we look forward to looking at uptake over the next few months.”
Andrew White, CEO of Preoday explains why pre-ordering matters, “Customer loyalty is critical to any hospitality business, and we are pleased to have been selected by Vital Ingredient for mobile and online ordering in their updated loyalty programme. Vital Ingredient’s customers can order, pay and collect loyalty points from wherever they happen to be in just a few taps then collect their order from their nearest branch. By being able to pre-order, customers will experience a superb service.
“Preoday sends all online customer activity and data in real-time for analysis; it’s the best way to keep up with what customers want. With 100% data accuracy, businesses know which personalised offers resonate most with customers.”
In the future, Vital Ingredient plans to introduce a push notification function to attract passers-by with weather-related offers for example, and targeted offers and discounts for different stores.
The app is being soft-launched in March with a migration of existing Club Vital members, before moving to encouraging new members, with a target of 50,000 by the end of 2017.

Hälsomedvetna snabbmatskedjan Vital Ingredient har lanserat sin första kundapp i 19 butiker över hela Storbritannien, designad för att strömlinjeforma lojalitetsprocessen och tillåta kunder att såväl beställa mat och dryck för upphämtning som att betala för den.
Appen kommer att förse kunden med en effektivare process för att samla, se och spendera lojalitetspoäng, såväl som att ge tillgång till näringsinformation och menyer. Appen finns tillgänglig genom App Store och Google Play. Framöver kommer det även en hemleveransfunktion och möjligheten att beställa online via hemsidan.
– Att kunder ska kunna beställa för hemleverans och avhämtning var alltid ett huvudkrav när vi började utveckla appen. Det är en viktig del i att hantera köerna vid rusningstid och strömlinjeformar verkligen processen från start till mål., säger Vital Ingredients vd Paolo Peretti.
– Appen gör det möjligt att beställa och betala i förväg och sedan bara titta in och plocka upp beställningen från ett designerat kylområde. Marknadsundersökningar visar på att en sådan funktion kommer att bli extremt populär och vi ser fram emot att titta på upptaget de kommande månaderna.
Andrew White, vd för Preoday, förklarar varför förbeställning är betydelsefullt:
– Kundlojaliteten är mycket viktig för vilket företag som helst inom besöksnäringen och vi är glada över att ha blivit utvalda av Vital Ingredient för mobil- och onlinebeställningar i sitt uppdaterade lojalitetsprogram. Vital Ingredients kunder kan beställa, betala och samla lojalitetspoäng från var de än råkar befinna sig genom några knapptryckningar och sedan hämta beställningen från närmaste filial. Genom att kunna förbeställa kommer kunderna att uppleva en superb service.
– Preoday skickar alla kundernas aktiviteter och data i realtid för analys; det är det bästa sättet att hålla koll på vad kunderna vill ha. Med hundraprocentigt tillförlitlig data vet företagen vilka personanpassade erbjudanden som träffar mest rätt med kunderna
I framtiden planerar Vital Ingredient att introducera pushnotiser för att attrahera förbipasserande med till exempel väderrelaterade erbjudanden och rabatterbjudanden från vissa butiker.
Appen mjuklanseras under mars månad med migration av existerande Club Vital-medlemmar innan man börjar uppmuntra nya medlemmar att ansluta sig. Målet är att ha 50 000 medlemmar innan 2017 är över.
