Afstro: a local grocery operation becomes a scalable digital storefront
Building an online grocery platform connecting shoppers with fresh produce — fast browsing, simple checkout, reliable delivery coordination.
The starting point
Afstro ran a local grocery operation with real demand and no digital storefront. Orders lived in chats and phone calls; range, availability and delivery were negotiated one customer at a time.
What we built
We partnered with Afstro to design and build an online grocery platform connecting shoppers with fresh produce:
- A fast browsing experience — categories and search tuned for how people actually shop for groceries, quick on modest connections and phones.
- A simple checkout — minimal steps from basket to confirmed order, with clear pricing.
- Reliable delivery coordination — orders flow into a structured fulfilment view instead of a message thread, so nothing is missed and customers know what's coming.
The outcome
A local operation became a scalable digital storefront: the catalogue, ordering and delivery workflow now run on one system that can grow with the business rather than depending on whoever is answering the phone.
