In response to various needs of their customers, Puregold Price Club, Inc., which operates a chain of supermarkets in the Philippines, recently introduced PUREGOLD mobile app SALLY or Shopping Ally.

During the media briefing, Puregold executives explained how SALLY can make the shopping experience convenient.

“It saves time, keeps your stocks at home or stores easily replenished and a lot more,” Puregold VP for Operations Tony Delos Santos explained.

“SALLY (Your Shopping Ally) app offers convenience through its cart-less grocery shopping feature. All that is needed to do is simply scan the barcode of the items to be purchased. Once completed, customers will receive a confirmation summarizing the purchases, thus, making their shopping experience easy and hassle-free. This allows customers to skip the long lines in the cashier checkout,” Puregold VP for Operations added.

When asked what other capabilities that SALLY has, the app has the record of past transactions hence if reordering of the products would not be difficult, which is highly recommended and useful for the SMEs (Small-to-Medium Enterprise) who need to restock or replenish inventories. And through the ASK SALLY in-app chat, users can receive real-time responses about order status and other pertinent questions.

In terms of payment methods, shoppers have several payment options they can use for their own convenience. They can choose to pay cash at the store or input their credit/debit card details, and also payment with their GCASH account.

For the members of Puregold Tindahan Ni Aling Puring and PERKS, they can link their card details to the app to view their points. 

In the sideline interview with THEPHILBIZNEWS, Puregold Senior Manager for Merchandising and Marketing Services Jenny Jacintos explained their primary target market when they developed the Puregold Mobile App.

“Essentially, the PUREGOLD MOBILE targets a broad market that includes young moms, young professionals and SMEs who are looking for a way to do their groceries in a more efficient manner,” Jacintos explained.

“Yes, Puregold tales pride for having the first of its kind in the country, PUREGOLD MOBILE is a scan-and-pay app that simplifies grocery shopping,” Jacintos concluded.

Meanwhile, Anthony Sy, President of S&R Membership Shopping, a sister company of Puregold told to THEPHILBIZNEWS, “Our economy is growing. The retail sectors is strong and we are happy with this development in the country. This means more sales, more job opportunities for the Filipinos and more business for our micro, small and medium enterprises.”

“This is the reality now, embracing technology and integrating it in the business. We should not fear technology, but rather treat it as an ally like what Puregold did, making the technology our ALLY and SALLY came into being to make the shopping experience of enterprising Filipinos faster, convenient and enjoyable,” Sy added.

Meanwhile, Globe President and Chief Executive Officer Ernest Cu revealed the more than a decade collaboration between Globe and Puregold.
