Picking trolleys deal

WaitroseDeliver has awarded a major contract to X2 Computing to provide a new generation of product picking trolleys and hardware. The new trolleys will be used to fulfil online grocery orders and will be easier to handle, provide 20% additional picking capacity and deliver significant cost savings and efficiencies. They will initially be deployed in 30 key stores providing the Waitrose Deliver service.

According to Rob Collins, director of E-Commerce at Waitrose: "We were impressed by the creative approach taken by X2 Computing throughout this project to developing an innovative and cost-effective solution that will make the product picking, a faster and more efficient process. The new trolleys will enable us to extend and expand our operations and provide our customers with an even better service." X2 Computing md Francis Davis adds: "Our commitment to innovating in retail has resulted in orders from some of the world's largest home shopping operations."
