The covid-19 pandemic has transformed the way we live and the way we interact with technology.

Many people rely on tech to do daily task from ordering food online to purchasing groceries – all can be done in just one click as we stay at home.
Due to Covid-19, brick-and-mortar retailers are facing a harsh reality, considering that the government has enforced MCO. With e-commerce on the other hand, it has seen surges in online shopping. Could it be a potential solution for retailer? We spoke to Dato Alvin Ooi, CEO of Quinton Group about his views on the current issue.
The rise of online grocery stores during Covid-19
Many people shared some stores are running out of basic necessity. That is a significant driver of online shopping at the moment. Many people are trying to avoid large gatherings and public places as a precaution and to adhere rules implemented by our government to break the pandemic chain. As a result, it’s easy to see why online shopping are surging up.
As per QuickSent – a local online delivery service, the delivery services has increased greatly during the initial of 14-days MCO and with the further extension of MCO announced by the prime minister, they are expecting a greater increase as well. between early March and end Marc.
