Tech firm to create new jobs after Morrisons success

A Derby-based digital technology company is set to create five jobs after seeing a rise in demand for its services from food retailers.

Orderly, previously known as Easywebstore, is the firm behind the Morrisons NHS food boxes platform, which was set up in only six days.

The boxes were commissioned by Morrisons to help customers and NHS workers get the everyday essentials they need without the trip to the supermarket.

The boxes contain £30 worth of groceries and offer convenient, free delivery directly to the door.

Orderly’s chief executive, Peter Evans, said: “When we heard about the proposition to support NHS staff and Morrisons customers who may be struggling due to shift times and supermarket shortages to get the essentials they need we were eager to help. We are food and beverage sector specialists and our niche is in business-critical supply chain technology so we had the systems, ability and experience to roll-out a fantastic solution for Morrisons in very short order.’

“It has been fantastic to see what a difference it has made to so many key workers and their families after the team put in a lot of ours for this fantastic cause”

Now, Orderly is looking to add five new faces to its team, covering development, project management, service analysis, design and marketing.

Evans said: “As a business we are very agile but we are bringing in further expertise and scaling up to help our customers meet this challenge and the future economic landscape. Whilst the crisis is a major challenge to the nation, there is a huge opportunity for our retailers and wholesalers to seriously change the way they do business. We’re seeing partnerships and innovation that would usually take years being formed with incredible speed because the need is clear and the appetite is there.’

“The great thing is that with this fresh approach to supply chain management we’re starting to see businesses think more constructively about global waste and the harmful impact globally. We’re serious about our supply chain technology and the value this can provide for our economy, our people and our environment.

“We’re delighted to have helped on the fantastic Morrisons project and are looking forward to bringing in like-minded, talented individuals to our team here at Orderly in the coming weeks, as we help to change the way we all do business.”
