We consider that one of the great advantages of Glovo it's your local focus. Glovo has a delivery range based on your location. Thus, it only offers you those products that you can have in less than an hour. That pastry shop in your town that you like so much, but that your laziness prevents you from reaching it. The meat dumplings that you miss so much and that they do not deliver at home, but that Glovo brings them to you. Or, the hamburgers at your favorite neighborhood restaurant. Another of its advantages is that it is an employment sector. A few months ago, however, their workers protested about the new regulatory law, the new Law Rider.

However, Glovo it is not the only company that carries out this type of service. Our society has less and less time and it wants everything here and now. Uber Eats, Rappi, Deliveroo, Just Eat or OrdersYa are technology platforms that work in the same way as Glovo. The difference now lies in the fact that Glovo has incorporated supermarkets into its supplier staff. But the truth is that all these companies are based on the comfort of consumers and immediacy from service. Since the arrival of telecommunications, and, above all, the internet, we have what we want instantly. Information, products, services, etc. Hence, our patience has vanished overnight. Basically, this is where the success of these platforms lies.

The key to success is in: comfort, availability of the products, the agility of the service and posibilidad to bring the consumer closer to the establishment without leaving home. And you? Will you continue to make the purchase in person?
