Collect and Receive builds on Uber’s seven-year strategic cloud partnership with Oracle, which was announced in February this year.

Through this partnership, the companies aim to deliver new consumer experiences with last-mile logistics and boost profitability with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Oracle Retail vice-president Pat Bohannon said: “Together, we can improve the experiences and profitability of the retail industry by raising the bar to a new ‘premium delivery’ standard where the customer can determine where and when their delivery or return will occur. Combining Uber’s ability to schedule deliveries in advance or on short notice is far superior to traditional last-mile delivery.”

Recently, Loblaw switched its SAP systems to OCI to modernise its information technology (IT) infrastructure.
