Ocado Group PLC
LON:OCDO
Ocado was launched in partnership with Waitrose in January 2002, and delivers quality groceries across selected areas of England and Wales. Our business was conceived with one simple objective in mind: to offer busy people a true alternative to going to the supermarket every week. By doing this, we created a totally new shopping experience, built entirely around our customers’ needs. By fulfilling orders from a dedicated warehouse, we can show virtually live inventory on our webshop, enabling customers to choose from a range of groceries that are actually in stock. By using unique logistics software and satellite navigation systems in our vans, we strive to deliver the right goods at the right time.
