Nimbly Market

Nimbly Market is a Software as a Service (SaaS) for Shop Owners or Aspiring Shop Owners! “.20% of all food will be sold online in a few years, which is as much as a seven-fold increase over pre-pandemic days. That would amount to a $50-billion market between restaurants and retail. That sea change could result in food retailers investing in a system of automated micro-fulfilment centres dedicated to serving online ordering.” Sylvain Charlebois, Professor of Food Distribution and Policy at Dalhousie University With Alberta at the highest risk of businesses closing in Canada, and the uncertainty of consumer habits due to the global pandemic, when Calgary declared a state of local emergency on March 15, 2020, work began on a new type of opportunity. The small community-based shops needed a new way to market. Without the benefit of high investment capital like the big box stores and the continued operating costs of a shop with lower foot traffic due to the global pandemic, there was a massive digital transformation gap to fill. That’s when Nimbly Market was born. Inspired by the humble sari-sari variety store and the need to adapt to a new normal for grocery fulfillment, they set out to launch their pilot stores in the city. We're now the FIRST online home-based grocery store in Canada!
