Dematic and Upshop partner on micro-fulfillment

Posted on Friday 30 September 2022

The deal could make the installation of on-site automation at small grocery outlets to fulfil eComm orders easier.

AUTOMATION PROVIDER Dematic has announced a partnership with store operations technology player Upshop, to supply integrated fulfillment solutions that scale with grocery businesses. 

The partnership will empower grocers looking to grow their fulfillment operations with solutions that allow them to retain and manage their own customer data.

The announcement follows Upshop’s recent store operations platform launch, which includes a fulfillment orchestration solution (formerly known as ShopperKit). With Dematic, Upshop eCommerce fulfillment users can implement automation capabilities while keeping their own software foundation.

“This partnership opens new doors for grocers who previously had limited choices in expanding their fulfillment operations,” says Upshop chief product officer Steve Paro. “Now smaller grocers and large, multi-store brands will have pre-engineered access to automation options, creating a clear path to scale owned eCommerce fulfillment for food retail.”

Grocers will be able to automate fulfillment in stores or through a larger network of dark stores, warehouses, and micro-fulfillment centres.
