Retail is changing. Our mission is to lead industry innovation through digital products and services for all our 1,9 million co-owners and even more customers, making groceries and shopping hassle-free - allowing you to spend time on more important matters.
Our deliveries vary from apps, websites and hardware/software to support our unmanned stores, to payment and e-commerce solutions. Data is at the centre of all we do and we're developing advanced analytics products for a wide range of proposes.
Since our beginnings in 2018, we've grown into a full-sized team of 28. We are engineers, data scientists, designers and product managers from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. We are passionate about how technology and data can be used to make shopping smarter and more efficient, and we love to have a lot of fun while doing so.
We're a part of Coop, Norway's second-largest consumer goods and retail operator. As a customer-owned organisation, we differ from our competitors and this is being reflected in our vision - it should pay off to choose Coop. More than 1.9 million Norwegians own Coop, and being a co-owner of Coop allows you to influence and take part in the profits we create. We do not exist to make a few persons rich, but to create value for you and me, hence our vision. This does not only apply to our customers and co-owners, but also to suppliers, our employees and the society that we're all a part of.
