The Kroger Co. is extending its flexible, vertically integrated Kroger Delivery network to the Indianapolis market.
The grocery giant is opening a 48,000-sq.-ft. facility in Indianapolis which will collaborate with a high-tech customer fulfillment center (CFC) hub in Monroe, Ohio to fulfill online orders of fresh food. Introduced in partnership with U.K.-based online grocer Ocado in May 2018, the CFC model combines vertical integration, machine learning, and robotics with affordable and fast delivery service for fresh food.
The CFC facilities leverage proprietary technology solutions focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced robotics and automation to create more seamless and efficient fulfillment, picking and delivery capabilities for enhanced digital commerce capabilities across the U.S.
