Fort Collins, Colorado-based Liviri is launching its first Independent E-Grocer Grant Program.
It is an initiative that will award resources to an independent grocer. Liviri is committed to supporting grocers in driving operational excellence and optimizing supply chain management for the ever-evolving eGrocery sector.
To apply, grocers can submit an application here.
“Liviri’s primary focus is to innovate solutions for grocery delivery and pick-up processes that are efficient, cost-effective and advance the evolution of the industry,” said Ken Longval, general manager.
“We understand that implementing and optimizing these programs can be a challenge for independent grocers, and we are launching this program to provide support in taking their efforts to the next level.”
The 2023 Liviri Independent E-Grocer Grant Program submissions will be accepted through Sept. 29. Entry criteria for applicants include:
- Must be an independent grocer with three or fewer locations.
- Must demonstrate an e-grocery delivery process that is already in place/in progress.
- Must show a strong need to increase operational efficiency in the current process.
The total prize value is more than $7,000, which includes:
- $5,000 cash prize (intended to help cover costs to build up tech platforms, freezers, fridges and training);
- 12 Liviri Sprint50 Insulated Totes;
- Sprint50 Ice Packs and Dividers; and
- Two Picking Carts.
Liviri Sprint is a line of durable, reusable totes that helps grocers and produce shippers with staging and delivery. High-performance insulation provides flexible options for chilled storage, keeping contents in the safe temp zone for more than 12 hours and reducing the need for onsite and in-transit refrigeration. The products also help eliminate wasteful single-use packaging for a more sustainable last-mile solution.
Liviri is an innovator of reusable packaging solutions for thermal performance, operational efficiency and cost-effective scalability. Launched in 2019, Liviri’s startup strength stems from an Otter Products DNA in protective case designs and thermal performance innovations. The company offers the whole eGrocery package through its family of reusable, thermally protective totes and icepacks that provide durable, sustainable solutions to pick, pack, stage and deliver online grocery orders.
