Today, consumers are often seen adopting new ways of buying. They prefer buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPIS), curbside pickup and sometimes home delivery. With increasing labor costs coupled with a reduction in labor availability, supporting these operations without automation can be extremely costly and non-viable for grocery, convenience and food distribution businesses.

Creating a consumer-centric, sustainable future for food and grocery retail by working with customers to create a next generation shopping experience. Atos does this by:

Building a resilient, adaptive, and transparent supply chain to reduce operational costs, environmental impact, and risk exposure
Creating a consumer-centric in-store experience with data-driven insights, intelligent connected devices and empowered employees
Transforming the in-store experience to drive loyalty and spend
