Israel’s largest health and beauty retailer, Super-Pharm, is expanding its collaboration with Israeli startup Fabric, formerly known as CommonSense Robotics, to use small robotized facilities in city centers to help the retailer meet the growing online demand for its products.
The two companies set up a partnership two years ago, in which Fabric used robotic facilities in the Tel Aviv metro area to process online orders for same-day delivery by Super-Pharm. Now, with the expansion of that collaboration, Fabric will more than triple the number of orders it fulfills for Super-Pharm by building and operating a second so-called “micro-fulfillment center” that will handle thousands of orders a day for the retailer, for nationwide same-day and next-day delivery services on demand.
