Asda

Retail Insight has appointed Andy Brockway as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The move is part of Retail Insight's growth plans to accelerate the product roadmap and innovation strategy for its software solutions that help retailers and their suppliers realise the full potential of every store.

The market for self-checkout systems is growing by 11 percent worldwide, according to market research company RBR. Biggest growth driver is the Asia-Pacific region. NCR remains the undisputed market leader, but Chinese vendors are catching up.

Asda is integrating its logistics processes on the Blue Yonder Luminate platform. The decision marks an important step for the company's transformation process following its spin-off from the Walmart Group.

We are delighted that the Retail Optimiser has been able to accompany the internationally highly valued retail expert Bryan Roberts on a store check at Asda in Stevenage, UK, and share his personal insights.
