Asda taps Ocado to use its robots in bid to revive ailing stores

UK supermarket giant teams up with Ocado to overhaul home deliveries

Asda will deploy Ocado's Smart Platform across its website, app, in-store picking, and last-mile delivery starting 2027, as part of executive chairman Allan Leighton's turnaround plan for the UK's third-largest supermarket. For retail tech and supply chain decision-makers, this signals that Ocado's fulfilment stack — already processing 70M+ orders/year across 11 countries — is becoming the de facto infrastructure layer for large-scale grocery e-commerce transformation.
