Covid-19 crisis changed the grocery retail market and brought new supply chain challenges. Social distancing and lock-downs have impacted consumer shopping behavior. Last-mile delivery has become the norm. Greater focus on healthy-eating combined with expectation around fast delivery of fresh fruits/vegetables to customers’ homes have created new logistical challenges. We also see a shift towards value-driven decision-making. It all comes down to how well retailers cater to changing customer needs and desires and the ability to deliver seamless customer experience at an affordable price. Growing complexity requires advanced technology and innovative solutions.
"With a network of 9800 stores, supply chain disruptions and uncertainty are normal for us, we keep opening hundreds of new stores and multiple DCs every year. With advanced analytics and automation, we planned for this level of complexity way ahead of our competitors."
