In order to make the shopping experience quick and easy to use, the website employs several list building options that include generating a master shopping list from the personal demographics of the customer’s household, shopping in the household rooms where products are commonly found and strolling the aisles of the virtual store.
Quick has filed applications for three patents and two industrial designs in respect to proprietary technology employed in the creation of its site.
The Company’s fulfillment system is designed to be completely modular and expandable, allowing it to grow with the demands of its customers, unlike the more capital intensive and high fixed cost options employed by other similar businesses.
Quick, Inc. Chairman and CEO Ralph McRae commented, “We have been planning this launch for more than 18 months. Management has watched and learned from the experiences and mistakes of the others in this space. The Company has partnered with leaders in the fields of logistics, packaged goods, technology, design, sales and marketing. This has allowed us to create a world-class, state-of-the-art system, structured to operate cost-effectively across a wide range of volumes at a fraction of the cost of others.”
