Ocado Group Launches ISF Rollout with Auchan Retail Poland

Auchan Retail Poland ("Auchan")  has today announced they are live with the Ocado Smart Platform (OSP), and are commencing the rollout of Ocado's cutting-edge fulfilment software across their store estate.

In 2022, Ocado Solutions and Auchan announced a partnership to develop Auchan's online business end-to-end using the Ocado Smart Platform ("OSP"). The rollout of Ocado's In-store Fulfilment (ISF) is a key milestone for the partnership, with a Customer Fulfilment Centre (CFC) also planned to serve the Warsaw region.

Announcing the launch of Ocado's ISF solutions, Szymon Turnau, Director of Digital & E-commerce at Auchan Poland, said:

"The Ocado Smart Platform is one of the most extensive and technologically advanced packages of such solutions on a global scale. Its use will significantly impact the optimisation of processes and the scaling of our online business, which we have been consistently building since we launched our online sales 13 years ago. This will translate into increased shopping comfort and satisfaction for our customers. Deliveries will be made faster and in more flexible time frames while improving the completeness and quality of orders. The product range available in our online store will also be expanded - now up to 20,000. products, and when the CFC launches, up to 40,000."

Ocado's In-Store Fulfilment solution is a fast, scalable and flexible fulfilment option for serving customers online from stores. Underpinned by intelligent simulation and optimisations, Ocado’s ISF enables OSP partners to leverage their stores as efficient fulfilment hubs. Smart algorithms calculate pick walks to enhance productivity, with minimal in-store disruption.
