Booker Wholesale is relaunching its website tomorrow, making it more mobile-friendly with a cleaner and fresher look than before.
Other benefits include a simplified branch finder, a more straightforward checkout process, enriched product information, and the addition of picking and delivery driver instructions. A mobile phone scanner is also set to be introduced soon.
Last week, Tesco revealed that its Booker unit saw total sales over the 19-week period grow 12.4%, boosted by a 14% contribution from the Best Food Logistics business it acquired last year. However, Booker’s like-for-like sales fell 8.3% over the Christmas period as the robust performance of its retail supply activities was not enough to offset the disruption in the hospitality sector caused by tightening Covid-19 restrictions. Booker’s catering sales plummeted 49% on a like-for-like basis over the Christmas period, compared to a decline of around 30% during the third quarter.
