However, he always wanted to change his shoppers’ grocery shopping experience and wished to change overcrowded grocery store to the pre-advanced grocery store application to shop virtually at their availability and convenience. He wanted to do this because except the physical visit of his shoppers he used to receive hundreds of orders on the telephone.
