TESCO has launched a pilot with speedy delivery company, Gorillas.

Starting from yesterday, supermarket customers can now order Tesco products to their doorsteps via the Gorillas app.

Gorillas will set up microfulfilment sites at five large Tesco stores, to pick, pack and deliver goods to customers.

The app's first Tesco microfulfilment site will use warehouse space at the Thornton Heath Tesco store and stock a selection of around 2,000 products.

Tesco - the largest online food retailer in the country - said the partnership would make its online offer even more convenient for customers and cater to those requiring products immediately.

The grocer's online amenities were recently the victim of a twoday outage after hackers tried to attack the firm.

Tesco launched its own 60-minute grocery delivery service, Tesco Whoosh, earlier this year. It is available in around 50 Express stores now with aims for this to expand to 100 stores by the end of the year.

Jason Tarry, Tesco UK & ROI chief executive officer said, "The idea that we can reach our customers in just 10 minutes is really exciting. We are committed to being easily the most convenient choice for our customers, enabling them to shop whenever and however they want.
