Dematic and Transcend Retail Solutions Unite to Transform Grocery Picking

In a game-changing announcement, Dematic, a global leader in supply chain solutions, has partnered with Transcend Retail Solutions, part of the Tesco group, which is the largest retailer in the UK both in-store and online. This partnership aims to fundamentally transform the grocery eCommerce landscape through a state-of-the-art micro-fulfillment center (MFC) that has been tested and proven effective over the last two decades.

The collaboration builds upon a rich history between Dematic and Tesco, which has seen successful deployments of MFCs over the past five years. The new Transcend MFC promises a scalable and repeatable end-to-end solution, providing grocery retailers the capability to significantly enhance their capacity to fulfill customer orders close to where they live. Customers, whether shopping online or in-store, will see the benefits of better product availability and improved quality metrics due to the reduced congestion in physical stores.

Advanced software coupled with innovative automation technologies will propel the operations of the MFC, supporting real-time decision-making while delivering essential insights and optimizations throughout the fulfillment process. Transcend’s consultancy services ensure that every phase of the operation is meticulously planned. This allows grocery store associates to easily interpret complex Warehouse Management System (WMS) data into actionable processes, ensuring seamless integration of automation within the retail environment.

Steve Hagenbuck, Senior Vice President of Global Commercial Alignment at Dematic, noted the unique demands faced by grocery retailers today. He expressed excitement regarding the partnership with Transcend, highlighting it as a merger of extensive industry experience and domain knowledge with cutting-edge automation technology.

Echoing this sentiment, Oliver Vogt, CEO of Transcend Retail Solutions, pointed out that the new MFC solution stands out in the market thanks to its unparalleled effectiveness, having delivered three times the productivity rates for in-store picking compared to industry standards. The Transcend MFC solution, which is designed specifically by grocers for grocers, caters to both online and in-store growth, unlocking significant potential for the grocery sector.

In essence, this collaboration presents a fresh approach to address the growing demands of grocery fulfillment, providing retailers with the tools to optimize their operations effectively. Those interested in learning more about this impactful partnership are encouraged to visit Dematic and Transcend at upcoming industry events like the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) in Orlando, FL and ProMat in Chicago, IL.
