Yango Tech Retail partners with ROOTS to Accelerate AI-Powered Retail Vision in the UAE
Yango Tech, the unified ecosystem delivering advanced B2B technology solutions to local businesses, has recently partnered with ROOTS, a food tech and retail company, providing a tailored suite of retail tech solutions designed to optimise every stage of the order lifecycle and transform the grocery shopping experience.
As part of its ecosystem approach, Yango Tech offers a wide range of technologies to its partners, from strategic consulting to the latest AI-driven solutions. ROOTS has already begun benefiting from this partnership, with the introduction of Yango Tech’s autonomous delivery robots, and now continues its digital transformation journey with retail technology.
“We are committed to empowering ambitious businesses with innovative retail solutions that help them grow, improve efficiency, and deliver exceptional service,” said Max Avtukhov, Chief Executive of Yango Tech Retail. “ROOTS is an exciting addition to our partner network. With the UAE’s online grocery market projected to grow to USD 15.4 billion by 2032, providing reliable, scalable technology has never been more important.”
ROOTS will implement multiple advanced technologies from Yango Tech Retail to enhance its retail operations. These include the Warehouse Management System (WMS), a web application that enables efficient shelf-picking in offline stores to streamline in-store order processing; the Picker Application, an Android app designed for pickers responsible for putting together customer orders; and the Courier Application, an Android app for couriers that displays assigned orders and payouts, while assisting with routing, batching, and delivery optimization
Additionally, Yango Tech’s Product Information Management (PIM) platform centralises all product data in a single, reliable source. It streamlines product onboarding with the AI-powered “Image-To-Card” feature, which automatically fills in product details from a photo.
The e-grocery player can create a catalogue, supporting offers, bundles, dynamic pricing, and easy product categorisation with tags for a seamless shopping experience. This enhances speed to market and ensures consistent, accurate product descriptions across platforms, boosting customer satisfaction.
“We put the customer experience at the center of everything we do—from the way we source our products to how we deliver them. Yango Tech helps us automate and streamline where it matters, so our team can focus on what makes ROOTS special. This is not just about tech; it’s about trust, speed, and scale. said Florian Jansen, Founder of ROOTS. We look forward to working together to continue setting new standards in food retail.”
Yango Tech is also providing ROOTS with its User App, available for both iOS and Android operating systems. This user-friendly mobile application allows customers to conveniently place orders from anywhere, ensuring seamless access to the food tech company’s product catalogue and services.
The partnership is a strategic step in scaling operations and meeting evolving consumer expectations for ROOTS. With 72% of customers choosing e-grocery for its convenience and order fulfilment speeds expected to accelerate significantly from four hours to just 30 minutes by 2028, access to robust retail technology is vital.
With Yango Tech’s integrated retail technology, ROOTS is positioned to meet the growing demand for fast, reliable e-grocery services while reinforcing its reputation as an innovator in the food tech space.
