“Doing your weekly shopping online can take you up to one hour. You waste a lot of time looking for the right product category, subcategory, scrolling through hundreds of references, you finally find your product, put it in your cart, and repeat this process up to 40 times (the number of items in your cart)! It’s a horrendous experience, with no added value at all for the customer,” says Jacques-Edouard Sabatier, Jow co-founder, CEO.
