Livera is a North-African grocery delivery start-up based out of Rabat, Morocco. The grocery delivery market and customer trends are evolving and in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, customers are more willing to opt for technology as a solution for their daily needs. Shopping in conventional ways is quickly becoming the thing of the past and consumers value the time and effort that can be saved by opting for online solutions.

At Livera, we want our customers to have time to focus on the important things in life. Our mission is to transform our customers lives in such a way that they never look back. Our user-friendly app allows customers to choose from a selection of local shops displayed in our marketplace-style platform. As the customer changes location, so do the shops around them, allowing our clients to contribute to the local industry, to choose from a vast selection of locations and to obtain necessities quickly almost anywhere.

Our app also gives local shopkeepers the opportunity to compete with large chain supermarkets in a post-pandemic world, ensuring that hard working merchants with a well-managed inventory will receive the clients they deserve without having to engage in elaborate marketing efforts or lead generation. We are developing close relationships with local shops in every major area of every city in North Africa. This approach ensures that we have total visibility on the management of the shop and can resolve any customer service issues long before they occur. Likewise, we have a team of customer service representatives, drivers, pickers and training personnel that ensure that every order is taken care of with the utmost care.
