VEDGEco.com, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Vejii Holdings is an online distributor for
plant-based foods, servicing restaurants and independent grocers,
and saw nearly 25% of its January repeat customers use the
platform's new automatic reorder functionality
VANCOUVER BC, February 3rd, 2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Vejii Holdings
Ltd. (CSE:VEJI) (OTC:VEJIF) ("the Company'' or "Vejii"), a
North American online marketplace for plant-based and sustainable
products, announced today that through its wholly-owned subsidiary
VEDGEco USA Inc. ("VEDGEco" or "VEDGEco.com"),
the Company launched its improved subscription-based buying
functionality for restaurants and independent grocers across North
America.
"VEDGEco's platform makes it
possible for the restaurants and grocers we serve to enable
automatic re-ordering and ensure that they have the products they
want and need on time for their customers. On-time delivery is
particularly important for restaurants, which often have a set menu
that requires consistent ingredients," said Trevor Hitch, CEO of
VEDGEco. "This functionality not only offers additional savings and
peace of mind to our customers, but also allows us to better
forecast demand and optimize our operations."
With the acquisition of
VEDGEco, the percentage of orders using this automatic
reordering functionality on the platform is continually increasing.
In January alone, Vejii reports that
approximately 25% of its repeat B2B orders were placed using
this subscription service for purchasing.
"There is clear demand from
our B2B clients, as they are not only seeking access to a wide
range of exceptional plant-based products, but also that they are
leveraging tools like our new auto-reorder functionality to ensure
that they can count on consistent, quality service every time,"
said Kory Zelickson, CEO of Vejii.
