Where Choithrams stands today

You're starting from real strength

Any digital step forward builds on assets most competitors would envy — trust, footprint, a loyalty base, and a leadership team already investing in customer-facing technology.

Trusted brand

A UAE household name since 1974 (group founded 1944) — decades of loyalty and neighbourhood convenience.

Nationwide footprint

~55 supermarkets across all seven emirates, plus GCC presence and a global distribution network.

BOUNZ loyalty

An established loyalty programme — a ready foundation for AI-driven personalisation.

Tech-forward moves

Smart-parking (Parkonic) rolled out across stores — a clear appetite for improving the customer journey.

Supply-chain innovation

Hydroponics & vertical farming to strengthen fresh supply and resilience.

A working digital base

E-commerce site, delivery, accounts and a well-rated Android app already in customers' hands.

The digital experience today

Strong foundations — with clear room to level up

The building blocks are in place. The biggest, fastest win is consistency: bringing every channel up to the standard of your best one.

Website

Solid e-commerce base with search, accounts, BOUNZ and delivery. Opportunity: modern experience, smarter search, and AI assistance.

iOS deserves love

The iOS app trails Android — 2.7★ vs 4.2★, on just 33 ratings versus 827. Since iOS skews to higher-spend shoppers, closing that gap is a fast, visible win.

One consistent experience

Unifying web, iOS and Android around one great standard is the clearest lever on satisfaction and adoption.

What your customers are telling you

The brand is loved — the ask is consistency

We reviewed public feedback and app-store reviews. Customers praise the range, prices and convenience; the recurring frustrations are practical moments that AI and better systems can smooth out.

Price consistencyImprove

Some shoppers report shelf price not matching the till. Fixing shelf-to-checkout accuracy is a direct trust win.

Delivery updatesImprove

When an order runs late, customers want to be told. Proactive, automated status updates remove most of the frustration.

Stock accuracyImprove

Items occasionally show as available then get cancelled. Real-time availability keeps the promise you make online.

FindabilityImprove

Customers want to find products faster. Smarter, AI-assisted search lifts both experience and basket size.

Experience varies by store
