Home delivery firm adds office products

 

US home delivery service Grubhub is continuing to expand beyond restaurants, convenience and grocery.by adding office supplies to its offering, after signing a deal with Office Depot.

 

More than 6000 items are available for on-demand delivery, including laptops, printers, ink, paper products, writing supplies and tech accessories, from more than 800 Office Depot locations in 42 US states.

 

“Whether they’re a student preparing for finals, an office administrator who needs to restock supplies, or a working professional setting up their home office, we’re excited about all of the ways our customers can benefit from having access to office supplies on Grubhub,” Craig Whitmer, VP of new verticals at Grubhub said.

 

Grubhub says the addition of Office Depot provides even greater convenience for Grubhub corporate accounts clients, many of whom are office administrators responsible for restocking supplies. 

 

A recent Grubhub internal survey found that more than 80 per cent of administrators have encountered situations where they run out of essential supplies they need the same day.
