Checkers has launched its revamped Sixty60 app to millions of shoppers nationwide, following months of rigorous testing. The updated app features an improved layout, user interface, and multi-factor authentication for enhanced security.
Shoppers in eligible areas can now enjoy precision delivery of over 10,000 general merchandise products from selected Checkers Hyper stores, all within 60-minute time slots. This eliminates the need for lengthy waits typically associated with household item deliveries.
“After intensive development, we’re confident that the next iteration of Sixty60 will again disrupt online retail in South Africa. Our precision delivery promise has been designed around our customers, which means no more waiting at home all day for your general merchandise order to arrive. Customers choose the 60-minute time slot for their Hyper delivery to arrive and can track the order in real-time as it gets delivered in a flash,” says Neil Schreuder, Chief of Strategy and Innovation for the Shoprite Group.
“Our homegrown innovation teams are powering our drive to become Africa’s most profitable omnichannel retailer,” Schreuder adds.
The new app also introduces 2,500 premium products exclusively available for delivery in Cape Town, including brands like Apple, Dyson, Thule, Smeg, Samsung, and Harmon Kardon.
The national rollout of these premium ranges will follow a phased approach, currently serving areas such as Rondebosch, Sea Point, Camps Bay, and more.
“With the new Sixty60 app, we’re again raising the bar for online shopping in South Africa and further demonstrating our commitment to customers who demand more convenience and improved access to premium products,” says Schreuder.
As part of the launch, Hyper product deliveries on Sixty60 qualify for free delivery until the end of 2024.
