Morrisons has signed up to a new multi-year agreement with online giant Amazon as the supermarket attempts to keep pushing further into the wholesale market.
Chief executive David Potts revealed the deal, which will enable more shoppers to order Morrisons products for same day delivery on Amazon - expanding on a previous trial.
The company said it had agreed a rolling contract with Amazon and "will be exploring new opportunities to innovate and improve the shopping experience for both Morrisons and Amazon customers".
Less was said about the supermarket's relationship with Ocado, which currently fulfils online grocery deliveries for Morrisons, although Mr Potts said the partnership remains in place.
He added: "That's not ending any time soon and we've got an important relationship with Ocado."
The deal with Amazon comes as the supermarket revealed its 14 consecutive quarters of growth have come to an end, with sales in the three months to August 4 falling 1.9% on a like-for-like basis.
Bosses pointed out the fall was due to the strong comparison with last summer, which had better weather and major sporting events.
Total revenues for the six months to August 4 rose 0.4% to £8.83 billion and pre-tax profits were up 48.5% to £202 million, leading to the pay-out of a second special dividend this year.
But the primary focus for Morrisons is on expanding its wholesale business, with Mr Potts saying he wants to see more of his products in high street convenience stores.
Shares rose nearly four per cent in early trading.
The Co-op is set to overhaul its funeral and life planning business after profits more than halved and the company revealed increased demand for low-cost funerals and cremations without ceremony.
Bosses want to implement the same turnaround they imposed on the food division of Co-op over the past five years, which helped sales in its supermarkets jump 3% to £3.7 billion in the six months to July 6.
On a like-for-like basis the rise was 1.7%, with the company pointing out that this was against tough comparisons last year which included the Fifa World Cup. Underlying pre-tax profits rose from £80 million to £120 million.
The wholesale division also improved, with 90% of Nisa partners now selling Co-op own-brand products, and six franchise stores opened via Costcutter and on university campuses.
But the company warned that a no-deal Brexit would hit the business and could lead to fewer products on shelves.
