Not really. Groceries have to be planned based on existing pantry state (current manual analysis), and future desired meals. Then produce a delta of what you have and what you want for those different meals.
Then you have a shopping list. You can do the shopping digitally now a days, but once it's delivered, now you have to organize it into the pantry existing stock, probably with a way to ensure older items are used first. This might involve separating out certain ingredients into smaller packaging and freezing some for later use.
That is all very manual, and I don't see how digitizing one part greatly simplifies it, especially if the digitization is error prone.
In a high enough income state, the answer is you hire a personal household chef or something like that. That isn't digitizing the problem- that is outsourcing it.
