Is microfulfillment still a viable strategy? In this new Omni Talk Spotlight, Chris and Anne sit down with Oliver Vogt, CEO of Tesco’s Transcend Retail Solutions and Danielle Dakin, Dematic's Market Development Director, to unpack everything happening with MFCs. Danielle explains how pandemic-driven hype distorted expectations (6:00), while Oliver lays out why volume and operational simplicity are the true keys to success (9:54).

Plus, the duo shares how you can schedule tours of Tesco's live MFC sites in the UK to see the future of grocery fulfillment for yourself (34:00)!#Microfulfillment #ecommerce #retailnews #retailstrategy #retailinnovation #TranscendRetail #Dematic #tesco #MFCs #UrbanFulfillment #automation #grocerydelivery Music by hooksounds.comSponsored Content
