In this article, we will mention three players in the market of Poland and the Netherlands, which are actively developing, improving their processes and inspiring other companies to the same rapid development.
1. Intermarché— French supermarket chain, which is actively developing in the Polish market. The company uses artificial intelligence and big data analytics to forecast demand and optimize delivery routes, which reduces costs and speeds up deliveries. In addition, Intermarché is testing drone delivery and robotic systems in distribution centers, increasing the speed of order processing and improving the customer experience.
In 2024, Intermarché continued to expand its presence in the Polish market, opening new stores and implementing environmental initiatives such as reducing the use of plastic and introducing energy-saving technologies. The company also marked its 50th anniversary by organizing a gala gala event at Tournai Expo.
2. Frisco.pl— the leading Polish online supermarket, known for its high level of speed and accuracy of delivery. The company has developed its own logistics infrastructure that allows offering same-day or next-day delivery, which is a great advantage for online shoppers. Frisco.pl actively uses data analytics to create personalized offers, increasing customer satisfaction.
In 2024, Frisco.pl continued to improve its logistics processes, introducing automation at all levels. The company deepened cooperation with TGW by implementing a second joint project, which included the creation of a highly dynamic shuttle depot with direct access to goods. This made it possible to improve the quality of service, reduce delivery time and achieve operational excellence.
3. Picnic — A Dutch online supermarket operating on a branchless retail model, delivering products directly to customers. The company applies an efficient pre-order system to minimize food waste and improve procurement planning. With a delivery model without physical stores, Picnic reduces operating costs and offers products at competitive prices.
In 2024, Picnic attracted a total of US$1.48 billion in investment, indicating investor confidence in its business model and development prospects.
In addition, the company plans to expand into new markets, including Germany and France, underlining its ambition to become a leading player in the European online retail market.
