Pepper vs. ZiiZii

Choosing an eCommerce or order automation provider is an important step for independent C-Store distributors.

Pepper encourages shopping behaviour for your customers so you can increase order size and saves more time for busy sales reps than any other provider in the space.

Here are just a few of the reasons why we believe Pepper is a better alternative to ZiiZii.

The most sophisticated independent convenience distributors use Pepper to boost sales.

Ease of Use

A well-designed app with order guides and powerful search capabilities

Pepper

Pepper offers an intuitive UI - 70% of orders finish in under 5 minutes - along with order guides, robust search, and real-time collaboration powered by up-to-date data and AI workflows.

ZiiZii

ZiiZii is an offline-first platform that requires manual data downloads and comes with a steeper learning curve for new users. It doesn’t support search or order guide creation.

Barcode Scanning & Printer Support

On-the-go DSRs need tech that matches their workflow

Pepper

Pepper makes barcode scanning easy on mobile, supporting Zebra, Cipherlab, Unitech, Honeywell, and any Bluetooth-capable scanner for flexible workflows.

ZiiZii

ZiiZii supports a range of mobile printers, but you’ll need to contact the company for a specific list of compatible devices.

Planogram Planning

Digital tools make planogram execution simple and profitable.

Pepper

With Pepper, your order guides reflect real planograms and store layouts - making digital ordering more intuitive.

ZiiZii

Ziizii does not directly support planograms. It is primarily a mobile order entry and shelf-labeling solution for wholesale distributors and their customers.

Promotion & Advertising Capacities

A supplier marketplace can ensure operators always pay the lowest price for items

Pepper

With Pepper’s promotional tools, you can launch limitless campaigns that grow drop size, increase exposure to new items, and maximize sales.

ZiiZii

ZiiZii does not provide self-service tools to create or manage promotions.
