Nevada WIC Program Online Shopping Project
Project Summary:
Nevada WIC will lead an exploratory project that aims to test the integration of a WIC online shopping system using the WICShopper app. The goal of the project is to create an online shopping solution for vendors that do not have online shopping technology available for their stores and to improve the WIC shopping experience with WIC vendors that are interested in app-to-app integration. By using the already established WICShopper app, vendors would be able to offer easier shopping capabilities for WIC participants. WIC participants will order WIC-approved foods through the app and the app will pass the orders on to participating vendors, currently Save Mart and commissaries operated by the Defense Commissary Agency, for fulfillment. The implementation team for this project includes JPMA, Inc. (the parent company for the WICShopper app), Maximus, FIS/CDP, and Dr. Harry Zhang from Old Dominion University.
