Yango Deli Tech Partners With Grocery Delivery Platform Nana
The partnership will allow Nana to significantly enhance user experience and support MENA region expansion plans.

Nana, Saudi Arabia’s leading online grocery delivery platform, has a presence in 18 cities and offers speedy delivery of over 22,000 products. Today, the company announced a partnership with Yango Deli Tech to realize its MENA-wide expansion plans.
Yango Deli Tech is a “global company providing proprietary technologies and expertise for retailers”. The company’s AI-based smart technology solutions will help to make Nana’s fulfillment and delivery operations more efficient while boosting client experience and offering enhanced analytics.
The official partnership follows a pilot project at one of Nana’s stores earlier this year. The experiment showed that the delivery platform could reduce the average missing items per day by 97% using a warehouse management system featuring smart routing and a dedicated stock-picking app that decreased order preparation time by over 35%. At present, the partnership is working at full capacity across all of Nana’s stores.
