Ottawa Board of Trade, BIA coalition team up on discount, delivery programs to boost local businesses

As independent retailers struggle to compete with big-box stores and e-commerce behemoths such as Amazon during the pandemic, two of Ottawa’s largest business organizations have joined forces with a pair of local startups to provide product discounts and free delivery service to members.

Trexity provides same-day local delivery for businesses, giving local retailers a better opportunity to compete with the likes of Amazon, says founder Alok Ahuja.
