L’Orto di Jack (“ODJ”) è una startup innovativa che punta a creare il primo player omnichannel ed evoluto digitalmente nel mercato italiano dell’ortofrutta. Ci focalizziamo su 3 canali principali: B2B: il core dell’azienda è la distribuzione di ortofrutta al canale HoReCa, per la quale abbiamo avviato un processo di trasformazione digitale. B2C: durante il lockdown con investimenti molto bassi abbiamo aperto un e-commerce, che puntiamo a far crescere in maniera bilanciata e profittevole. Retail: grazie alle nostre esperienze personali di successo nel mondo ristorazione, abbiamo completato l’omnicanalità dell’azienda aprendo un punto vendita fisico. Le aperture di ulteriori selezionate location serviranno da vetrina fisica al nostro brand e supporteranno la logistica last mile B2B/B2C.
