Due to the rising rate of infection every day and the number of people in isolation, retail chains are reporting a tens of percent increase in the rate of online orders.
Rising demand, along with the number of isolated workers, has caused delays in many shipments in recent days.
Yossi Shalev, Tiv Ta'am's VP of commerce and marketing, told Israel Today: "We are seeing a significant increase of 25% online in the last week.
The chain's branches also have an increase of about 10%. "
Referring to the decline in shipping frequency, he said: "The average delivery time now is two days, compared to today or from today to tomorrow.
Asked if there is a shortage of branches, Shalev replied: "There is nothing critical that is missing. There is no shortage of meat, vegetables, dairy products or toilet paper. I estimate that due to the weather there will be an impact on fruit and vegetable prices next week.
Also, the avocado plantations have frozen, so it is clear that the price will go up next week or in two weeks.
Also, due to the isolations, there may well be situations of spot deficiencies in one item or another for short periods of time. "
Ilan Seroussi, VP of trading at the market warehouse chain, said: "There has been an increase in the volume of online orders in the last two weeks, last week we grew by 15% and this week by another 7%, so we are growing this wave by a cumulative 22%.
It is important to keep in mind that we too are limited in our capabilities, as there are a large number of drivers and collectors and other workers who are absent because they are verified or isolated.
This means that we limit the amount of orders that can be delivered per day. "
Pavilion Wines said there has been a tens of percent increase in online orders, but there has been no decline in branches, but even a small increase.
They also added that the network will strengthen the online to meet all the demands.
Half of the orders are from today to today, and half from today to tomorrow.
Aviram Ganot, CEO of Quick, added: "In the last month, with the increase in morbidity, along with weather conditions, there has been a tens of percent increase in the volume of orders compared to the last quarter.
In the last week, there has been an increase of about 50% throughout the country, and in the central region there has also been an increase of about 100%. "
