As part of the extension, the companies will create a joint venture (JV) that will provide logistics services to Ocado Smart Platform (OSP) powered Customer Fulfilment Centres (CFCs) in France, which will be available to all grocery retailers.

Ocado will also integrate Octopia’s marketplace platform into OSP, allowing OSP partners across the globe to launch their own marketplace offerings.

In addition, Groupe Casino will deploy the OSP In-Store Fulfilment solution across its Monoprix retail chain.

Ocado Solutions CEO Luke Jensen said: “This is a great milestone for our relationship with Groupe Casino as we extend the partnership in a number of exciting directions.”
