Gordon Newsletter #3 2023
Opportunity to rethink time windows and cut-off times
"It's time to dispel the myth that consumers of deliveries from grocery stores prioritise deliveries with narrow time windows. We at Gordon see that consumers want freedom of choice and sustainable deliveries, which aligns well with profitability in e-commerce", says Andreas Furu, Head of Nordic Sales.
"Our experience is that around half of consumers choose to have their food delivered within a time window of six hours if this option costs less than with a narrower time window. The effect is probably amplified if you clearly demonstrate to the customer that the option that costs less also is better for the environment."

IN THE MEDIA
Gordon has previously called for the Swedish government to make it possible to drive heavier electric vehicles with a B licence. Now the government is taking a step in that direction, investigating possibilities for using normal-sized but heavier electric trucks in Sweden. A change of those rules would allow us at Gordon to use the same kind of electric vehicles in Sweden as in Denmark. Read more
