Grocery Shopping Gets Better: Puregold Mobile app powered by Globe empowers Puregold shoppers

Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu Puregold Price Club, Inc. recently launched the Puregold Mobile app. Expanding Puregold's presence in the Philippine retail and supermarket landscape, Puregold Mobile serves as a Shopping Ally or SALLY for consumers. The app brings the convenience of cart-less grocery shopping to the patrons of Puregold, serving as an extension of the physical store and its inventory to mobile devices. To use, shoppers must scan the barcode of the items they are buying using Puregold Mobile. The app also allows users to pick items from the online inventory anytime and anywhere. Once completed, customers will get a confirmation that sums up the items they purchased. This feature allows them to skip the long lines at the cashier checkout, resulting in an easy and hassle-free shopping experience. While shoppers must pick up the items in the store, the delivery service is already in the pipeline. Puregold Mobile includes a feature that allows users to reorder the products by using Order History. This is recommended for all small and medium enterprise (SME) owners who need to replenish their inventories consisting of numerous items. Through the ASK SALLY in-app chat feature, Puregold shoppers can get real-time responses about their order inquiries like status. A chatbot combined with a manned backend drives the in-app chat feature to address the concerns of users. Bringing more convenience to users, Puregold Mobile supports an array of payment options. Shoppers can pay their items in cash at the store, use their credit or debit card, or transact with GCASH. Moreover, members of Puregold Tindahan Ni Aling Puring and PERKS can link their card details to Puregold Mobile to view the points they collect.   The first of its kind in the Philippines to do scan-and-pay to simplify the grocery shopping experience, Puregold Mobile aims at a broad market that covers young parents, young professionals, and SME owners who are searching for new ways to do their groceries in a more efficient manner. Powered by Globe Telecom, Puregold Mobile can be downloaded from Apple App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices starting January 31, 2020.
