E-grocery startup Raha launches after raising $6.7 million Seed
Summary
According to the Co-Founder and CEO of the company, Saleh Al-Tunaib, Raha’s investment in technology and innovation did not come as an added value extension of the business, but rather has been the driving notion at the heart of its conception and service model from the very beginning. Their trained fleet carries out the last-mile delivery that is route-optimized and time-efficient to complete the full cycle, seamlessly inserting Raha’s redefined grocery experience into the online commerce space that users are increasingly migrating to today. "Delivering this next level, seamless modern grocery delivery experience is credited also to Swisslogs adept implementation of AutoStore that propelled us past the traditional warehousing and fulfilment systems currently present in our landscape,” added Al-Tunaib. Though Kuwait was under lockdown, a tremendous work ethic and solid collaboration between Swisslog and Raha made possible the timely and successful implementation of the system, overcoming the pandemic barriers through our joint efforts. It serves to note that Raha was created and designed by a diverse team of driven young talents, who bring with them wide-ranging expertise and experience in the fields of grocery retail, e-commerce and tech development in the region.
