If you use 2GIS, you no longer need to juggle multiple apps to get your groceries delivered. The mobile app now integrates Samokat’s product selection and ordering right inside its interface, combining search and purchase into one seamless experience. Whether you’re hunting for groceries, ready-to-eat meals, or household essentials, you’ll see a dedicated Samokat section in your search results and can place your delivery order without ever leaving 2GIS.
When you tap on an item, an embedded Samokat web app opens up inside 2GIS. You log in, add products to your cart, and complete your purchase all without switching to another app. Once your order is finished, the app automatically brings you back to 2GIS, keeping your previous browsing context intact-a smooth flow without any extra navigation hassles.
The available selection mirrors Samokat’s own inventory, covering main categories like food, baby and pet supplies, cleaning products, cosmetics, gifts, and more. This feature is live now on 2GIS’s iOS and Android apps in all 129 cities where Samokat operates.
This isn’t 2GIS’s first step toward becoming more than just a navigation tool. Earlier, users could book beauty salon appointments or buy movie tickets directly through the app. The Samokat integration highlights a larger trend: geo services evolving into all-in-one urban assistants that blend navigation with delivery and local services. Instead of juggling dozens of apps, you can rely on one – 2GIS – to cover all your everyday city needs.
Samokat sees this integration as a way to enhance user experience by removing the friction of switching between apps. For 2GIS, it’s a chance to evolve from a directory and maps service into a primary shopping interface for urban users, lowering barriers and saving customers time.
With mounting competition in the delivery and ordering market, the question ”how many apps do we really need?” gains more weight every day. By teaming up, 2GIS and Samokat demonstrate how a unified service can be more convenient and cost-effective for users-and they might just set a new standard for others in the space.
For Russian readers, it’s worth noting that 2GIS is much more than a simple map app-it’s widely used as a city guide and business directory comparable to Google Maps but with deeper integration into everyday services. Samokat is one of Russia’s leading express grocery delivery services, akin to Gorillas or Getir in Europe and the US. Their collaboration signals a smart move towards streamlining urban life through digital ecosystems, something international audiences eagerly watch as a blueprint for future city apps worldwide.
