2. Competitor Analysis
In Canada, not all grocery stores have implemented a click-and-collect
system. Walmart has started to implement it on its stores in 2015. Their
website features a small stripe taking the user to more information
about the service. However, its not as user-friendly as Loblaws, since
Walmart does not have the same focus on food products and needs to
feature a much broader range of products on its website. Its system is
also based on mail purchases.
On its product pages, Walmart also favors a simple design with essential
information and online shopping buttons (add to cart and add to
list). It seems to be more straightforward than Loblaws (the add to
cart link is very visible and easy to find). The pages include a very
convenient Walmart standard search bar, but suffer from poor
typography. There is not a proper balance between the product image
and the title with the product name. Images actually dominate the
screen, while they should blend with the title and the product
information text to make it easier for the user to get what he needs to
make a decision as quickly as possible. This shouldnt be the way to go
on a kiosk page, where the system must facilitate quick shopping.
For its, part, Qubec-based IGA grocery stores offer an online grocery
platform as well. However, at least from the desktop version of their
website, the link leading to online grocery is not highlighted in any way.
Like Metro (another competitor) sometimes does, IGA highlights
recipes on its main web page.
For its product pages, IGA follows the same general principles of
Walmart and displays only the essential information with the needed
tools for making purchases (add to cart and add to list). White space
is also widely used, there is a big search bar and the page is dominated
by the product picture. About the title, the fact that a much larger font
size (compared to the other text parts) is used ends up being more
positive than in Walmarts case and makes the title easier to read.

The top navigation bar (which blends on the page body thanks to the same
white background) features the three essential buttons: online help, list and
checkout.
Below the product card, there is a navigation bar that opens a virtual keyboard
on the screen.
Both pages have been created to be as user-friendly as possible to any kind of
user, including seniors and people with disabilities. Buttons are generally large
so no one will find it hard to click and navigate.
