Coop Sweden

Coop Sweden’s largest automated distribution centre in Eskilstuna is now fully operational. Developed by German warehouse and logistics specialist SSI Schäfer, the site is designed to serve as the backbone of the grocery retailer’s supply chain transformation. Spanning 77,000 square metres, it is one of the largest of its kind in Europe.

Sainsbury's is deploying software from Norwegian provider Strongpoint to pick food home deliveries from its stores. With the move, the British retailer aims to process customer orders more efficiently and accurately.

Estonian grocery market leader Coop Estonia is also set to optimise its sales promotions with Relex. Relex acquired Swedish promotion planning specialist Formulate in May last year, whose clients include Sweden's Coop and the convenience arm of Norwegian retailer Reitan. Coop Estonia has already been optimising inventory at its approximately 330 distribution outlets with Relex's AI-based forecasting solution since 2019.
