Problem
Residents of the New Orleans metropolitan area who want to support local and international grocery stores often lack a convenient delivery option that connects them directly with these businesses. Large national delivery platforms may not feature smaller local stores, and individual stores rarely offer their own delivery infrastructure, limiting access to specialty and international groceries.
Solution
Intershop Go provides a mobile app that lets customers browse real-time inventory from participating local and international grocery stores in the New Orleans area, place orders, and have a dedicated driver shop and deliver the items. The platform handles the entire logistics chain: customers select items from a store's curated catalog, pay securely through Stripe with bank-level encryption, and receive their order on the store's next scheduled delivery day (Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday). Store owners benefit from a zero-setup model where Intershop Go curates their catalog, sends a driver to shop in-person like a regular customer, and pays the store on the spot with a company card—eliminating the need for technical integration or invoicing. The service positions itself as a community-focused alternative that keeps money in the Louisiana economy.
Target Audience
Primary customers are residents of the New Orleans metropolitan area who want convenient delivery from local and international grocery stores, as well as independent grocery store owners seeking delivery capability without operational overhead.
