To achieve this growth, Cornershop needed a mapping platform that would let customers order from their mobile phones or via the web, and provide the infrastructure for dispatching shoppers to pick up and deliver groceries as efficiently as possible. Cornershop chose Google Maps because it provides the most comprehensive set of APIs and the most accurate mapping data.

"With Google Maps, we've built an on-demand grocery delivery service from scratch, and can deliver orders within 90 minutes. On-demand grocery delivery is new to Latin America, and Google Maps' reliability, useful APIs and familiar interface have helped us build an easy-to-use service that people are comfortable with."
