Pilot & roadmap to centralized ecommerce fulfilment
In order to better serve its online B2C and B2B customers, Coop, a supermarket chain with 325 stores, sought our help to improve the quality and cost-efficiency of its ecommerce fulfilment. Coop used a decentralized, in-store fulfilment solution for its online orders, which no longer sufficed in the rapidly growing segment. Therefore, Coop asked SparkOptimus to design and run a pilot with a centralized ecommerce fulfilment system in close collaboration with its online partner Telesuper.
Together with Coop ecommerce and Telesuper teams, we first designed a practical pilot process by working around all technical limitations resulting from limited integration between the two partners. We also jointly determined what the optimized Coop/Telesuper ecommerce assortment should look like to allow for more efficient fulfilment. We then ran a hands-on pilot with the centralized distribution model including several hundred B2C and B2B customers.
Take the insights with you
During the pilot, order completeness grew by five percentage points compared to in-store fulfilment levels without any change in assortment satisfaction, creating a superior experience for Coop’s online customers. Importantly, the pilot also resulted in a clear roadmap for Coop to further reduce its fulfilment costs and improve fulfilment quality compared to in-store levels by continuing to centralize its ecommerce fulfilment in cooperation with Telesuper.
