The Federation of Independent Retailers (NFRN) has partnered with mobile app Jisp to create a solution providing same-day home delivery, Click and Collect, mobile payments and in-store scan and go services.

For the first time consumers can turn to their local stores to benefit from one mobile app serving all their contact-free shopping solutions for both in-store and at home.

Previously only available within major supermarkets, local retailers will now be able to offer in-store barcode scanning with shoppers’ smartphones, automatically adding products to the virtual basket and allowing them to checkout securely via the Jisp app.

Jisp chief executive Julian Fisher commented: “With the ongoing pandemic many people have turned their attention to cashless purchases and online shopping, leaving local retailers and businesses struggling against the might of retail giants and supermarkets.”

Stuart Reddish, NFRN national president, said: “COVID has accelerated digital in retail and, given the current complexities of serving customers, along with future opportunities digital brings, we’re pleased to announce this brand-new partnership with Jisp.

“This opportunity comes at a time where physical meets digital in retail, and we’re well placed to provide the most advanced app for our members across UK and Ireland that will be loved by our customers too.”
