1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: Bunnings joins Uber each if you can believe it, you

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: can get a ladder delivered in sixty minutes as convenience.

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: It's a whole new level. I guess Paul Spain is

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: the Well, he's at Guerrilla Technology and he's with.

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Us morning, Good morning, Mine.

6
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: What's the metric on this? I mean, if Bunnings can,

7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: can anyone and will anyone, or there's a certain bunch

8
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: of stuff have to happen to make it work.

9
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: Well, Bunnings have got a great scale, they're profitable, so

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: they can afford to maybe lose some margin to win

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: extra market share here. And there's probably an Uber play

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: there as well, where Uber possibly a cutting their margins

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: in order to be more dominant in the New Zealand

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: and Australian markets.

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Are the logistics Can I get a ladder in a

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: prius where it doesn't fit and they can't do it?

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: Stuff like that?

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: Well, there will be some There will be some of

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: those sorts of challenges. They're saying thirty thousand products available

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: and no doubt there will be some constraints there in

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: terms of sizing.

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Is that a headwind in terms of me sitting home

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: thinking that my whole life can come to my door.

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: Now do I look at Bunning's and go great idea

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: until I see I can't get X y Z, and

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: then suddenly it doesn't work. Well, do they need to

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: supply everything or not?

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: I don't think so. It's that convenience thing. Now you're

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: working on a DIY project to home, there's something you need,

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: you can keep going. Or maybe you're a trade and

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: you're out working on a customer project and you don't

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: have to down tools to go for a drive if

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: you can get that thing delivered.

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what's the play. Is it the sixty minutes

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: or is it the fact I can't be bothered hauling

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: my ass off to a shop anymore?

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: Oh? Look, I think you know it's both of those things.

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: And you know, we're getting used to being able to

39
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: order our food deliveries. We can get things from the

40
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: chemist now, you know, groceries now in shorter spaces of time,

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: and you know this is this is very much a

42
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: natural progression. And you know, of course in the in

43
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: the in the bigger picture, this is allowing Bunnings to

44
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: compete against Amazon, you know, particularly in the Australian market

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: where they've got those local warehouses, and so this is

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: a bit of a pushback against that global dominance of Amazon.

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: All right, Paul, appreciate it. Paul Spain out of Guerrilla
