Online grocery sales in Singapore jump four times during coronavirus, says Lazada
RedMart's unique visitors on a daily basis have increased more than 11 times, according to Lazada Singapore CEO James Chang. He told CNBC's "" on Tuesday the company had a "pretty tough time" trying to keep up with the services customers expected during the peak period.
Lazada also introduced a new delivery system on April 4 that allowed the company to increase its capacity by 50% and take on more orders as an increasing number of people turned to e-commerce. In Singapore, the company is opening up a warehouse called the "West Fulfilment Centre" that would have several automated areas designed to meet customer needs. It is expected to be unveiled in July or August, depending on how well the outbreak is contained.
Singapore has one of the highest numbers of coronavirus cases in Asia, and reported more than 35,000 cases of infections.
