Lotte Shopping Co. said Tuesday it has partnered with Britain's Ocado Group Plc., a leading online grocery tech platform provider, to strengthen its e-grocery business.
Through the partnership, Lotte Shopping, the retail arm of South Korea's fifth largest conglomerate Lotte Group, plans to invest around 1 trillion won (US$705.2 million) to build six automated logistics centers across the country by 2030 using technology provided by Ocado, the company said.
Ocado offers an e-grocery management solution called "Ocado Smart Platform," which provides an end-to-end e-grocery delivery solution, from accepting orders to packing and logistics for grocers.
Lotte Shopping said it targets to record an annual sales figure of 5 trillion won in the online grocery delivery service by 2032. (Yonhap)
