Globe, Puregold launch mobile shopping app

Globe Telecom Inc. and Puregold Price Club Inc. on Friday launched a mobile application to enable customers to grocery shop online.

The Puregold Mobile app would enable shoppers to shop free from the hassle of long queues with features such as item barcode scanning, store pickup, and real-time updates on order status and stock replenishing.

The app also allows customers to link their “Tindahan ni Aling Puring” (TNAP) or Puregold Perks Card for easier tracking of their points and access to exclusive discounts.

“Puregold Mobile is one of our efforts in partnership with Puregold in enhancing the grocery shopping experience for Filipinos,” said Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu.

“We are happy to collaborate with the country’s most digitally advanced and well-known grocery brand in co-developing an app that enables customers to maximize mobile connectivity in doing basic and essential everyday things with utmost convenience,” Cu added.

Shoppers may pay their purchased items through Globe’s mobile wallet GCash.

Other payment options include credit card and cash upon pick up.

In-store pickup is also available in select Puregold branches in the Greater Manila Area.

Puregold Mobile is free for download on Google Playstore and the App Store. — Ted Cordero/DVM, GMA News
