The digital age has brought many new benefits to mankind, and a new approach to fast product delivery is one of them. The desire to make ordering and delivery as convenient, fast and inexpensive as possible leads to innovations that create new infrastructure for commerce and make cities more livable for existing and future generations. This is exactly the path chosen by Wolt, which for seven years has been reinventing urban delivery, making life more comfortable and happier for everyone involved in the process. The new delivery experience offered by Wolt has received international recognition, and this year, the World Future Awards research team named it the winner in the category of Food Logistics & Delivery.
World Future Awards is a global award selecting, recognizing, celebrating, and promoting the best products, software, and services that will transform the global economy and define the landscape of the future. The organization researches inventions across all categories, including technology, beauty, health care, food, home, and entertainment, that are making the world better, smarter or even a bit more fun.
Buying products is something that everyone faces in their daily lives. By streamlining this process and reducing the time and resources spent on it, Wolt is having a positive impact on the lives of many people in a number of cities and countries. The company has created a platform that is already an effective solution for local commerce and is making a significant contribution to the development of this market in the future.
Wolt is a technology company founded in 2015 that created an innovative platform designed to change the lives of customers, merchants, and couriers for the better. Wolt started in Helsinki, a region where, for a variety of reasons, food delivery services had little promise. However, the new platform combined several technologies, including local logistics, software for retail and financial solutions, marketing strategies, and more, to automate all processes and balance work at all stages of delivery. This allowed us to set up a super-efficient sustainable operation, providing an average delivery time of up to 30-35 minutes.
Over the following years, the activities of Wolt have expanded far beyond Finland, and today the company’s services are used in 250 cities across 23 countries. Wolt’s user-friendly application ensures efficient interaction between restaurants and retailers, couriers, and customers. This, in turn, contributes to stable business development, earning couriers, and enabling customers to quickly enjoy great products and save their precious time.
